Whitford Country Club

What Whitford Country Club does

Whitford Country Club is a private, member-owned country club located on a 168-acre site at 600 Whitford Hills Road in Exton, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1955 by Al Ostheimer and opened for play in 1956–1957, the club operates a single multi-amenity campus serving families in the Chester County region. Its core offerings are an 18-hole championship golf course designed by William Gordon (6,850 yards, Par 72, course rating 74.0, slope 140) with bent grass fairways; a racquets complex comprising six Har-Tru, two hard, four paddle, and four pickleball courts; a 25-meter aquatics center with children's pool and the Whitford Waves swim team; and a clubhouse with the Members Dining Room, Mulligans, and pool-side F&B.

The club generates revenue primarily through recurring membership dues across four tiers — Full Sports, Racquets & Aquatics, Aquatics, and House — with sub-categories such as Weekday-only, Junior, Single, and Corporate Full Sports. Supporting revenue streams include fine dining (farm-to-table rotating menus), catering and private events (weddings limited to one per day, corporate meetings, golf outings for 25–150+ guests), structured junior programming (junior golf, USTA tennis, swim team), private instruction, and the annual Whitford Classic charitable event held September 17–19, 2026. The Whitford Charitable Fund, supported by Classic sponsorships tiered from $1,000 to $15,000, has granted over $1.5 million to 75+ Chester County nonprofits since 2013.

Between 2020 and 2024, Whitford executed a Long-Range Master Plan that touched every facility: clubhouse upper-floor and locker room renovations; a new golf course irrigation system with hole renovations; four new pickleball courts; two new tennis courts; and a new pool bar/restaurant and sport camp retreat. The club employs approximately 68 people and is operated by a Board of Governors elected since its founding. No public ticker, parent company, or external investor is disclosed; revenue figures are not publicly reported.
