Philadelphia’s only Nicklaus Design and area’s premier multi-club membership opens in Downingtown, Pa.
A residential golf community featuring a broad array of first-class club amenities, Applecross Country Club is located less than 40 minutes from Philadelphia in Downingtown and now represents the Philly area’s first Nicklaus Design golf course. The golf course at Applecross weaves through the Chester County countryside providing a unique-to-the-area experience for golfers, blending into landscape that boasts views of sparkling lakes and rolling countryside. Wetlands and water features grace the surroundings of 14 of the holes. The golf course features four sets of tees and plays to a par of 72 at anywhere from 5,212 yards (red) to 7,028 yards (black).
In addition to the golf course, Applecross features a wide array of club amenities including an all-season Recreation Center with an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool, an indoor pool, a kids’ “splash zone,” Jacuzzi and tennis courts. There is also a 10,000-square-foot Sports Pavilion outfitted with state-of-the-art cardio and weight-training equipment, areas for personal training and specialized exercise, and wellness classes such as yoga, Pilates and aerobics. Member dining is available at the clubhouse and garden pavilion overlooking the 18th hole. A wide array of social and golf events are offered year round to the club’s diverse membership.
The residential community features seven neighborhoods and more than 1,000 houses ranging from town homes to estate homes and active adult living villas. The entire process is slated to be completed by 2017.
