Welcome Paxon Hollow Country Club to the PGO!

About Paxon Hollow:

Paxon Hollow Country Club is an affordable public golf course owned and operated by Marple Township. We are conveniently located just west of Philadelphia and only minutes from the airport. The club includes a classically designed 18 hole golf course, practice range, restaurant, and banquet facility. Paxon Hollow was formed as a private club over 90 years ago and has now become one of the most popular public golf courses in the Philadelphia area.

The golf course was designed and built during golf’s golden age of architecture and includes many of the design elements found at some of our exclusive private club neighbors. Due to these features the golf course plays much harder than the overall yardage would suggest. If you enjoy playing classic old style golf courses and like to reach the green in regulation, this is your kind of place.
