Flourtown Country Club Resource Page

I believe that the Flourtown Country Club is a tremendous asset to our town. I will fully support it and encourage greater use by a larger section of our community.

Parking Lot Renovations

I, along with the other Commissioners, unanimously approved the renovation of the Country Club parking lot and the reconfiguration of the roads to make them safer for drivers and pedestrians. Read the Letter sent to residents of the affected area.

Flourtown Country Club

"By far the largest Township-owned facility, the Flourtown Country Club is a nine-hole golf course, swim club and banquet facility situated on fifty-one (51) acres of land in the Flourtown section of the Township. Golf and swim memberships are available for individuals and families, with Township residents given priority on any waiting lists. Springfield Township residents are also provided a discounted membership rate. Please contact the Country Club at 215-233-1550 for membership information and banquet scheduling."
