About Walnut Lane Golf Club
Walnut Lane Golf Club sits within Wissahickon Valley Park in Philadelphia, a tree-lined layout designed by Alex Findlay that opened for play in 1940.
The course is known for its collection of demanding par 3s and for a routing that works through the property's hills and valleys, with several holes set into the folds of the terrain. The combination of wooded scenery and tight, undulating ground places a premium on shot-making.
