Course Details

Philadelphia Cricket Club held special significance for Tillinghast, who meticulously designed its course in the 1920s. Over time, neglect took its toll, with greens diminishing, bunkers deteriorating, and trees encroaching, even penetrating the clubhouse. In 2013, Keith Foster undertook restoration efforts, delayed by economic challenges, restoring Tillinghast's vision. Trees were cleared, original features reinstated, including the iconic "Great Hazard" on the seventh hole. In a poignant tribute, Tillinghast's ashes were scattered in the Wissahickon Creek by the 18th green, honoring his enduring connection to the club and its rejuvenated course.

2025 Big Stake Auction

The uniqueness of the Stake Club resides not in a singular golf course or a long and storied history. Instead, it lives within a core group of one hundred individuals who came together to develop the best national membership in golf. Today, the Stake Club is an organization comprised of over 500 members from the finest national private golf clubs. The club’s motto, ‘A Generous Game’ epitomizes the work that members do to contribute to the community and the causes they support. As a result, meaningful relationships are forged, ideas are exchanged, and the community and charitable work of the club is furthered. The Stake Club Charitable Foundation uses auction proceeds to provide funding for registered 501(c)3 charities selected by the donor of each hosted round. By providing Stake Club members the option to directly give to the charity of their choice, the Stake Club Charitable Foundation provides a platform to maximize the Club’s charitable reach.
