Located in Chester County, Wyncote is reminiscent of an inland Scottish links course and features moguls, mounded bunkers, windy rises, and wetlands. Designed by Brian Ault, this Heath lands-style golf course hosts the finest conditions in the area. A par-72 course, Wyncote has 4 tees and ranges from 5454 yards from the front to 7149 from the back tees. Renowned and nationally recognized for its course conditions and layout, Wyncote is the premier public golf course in South Eastern, PA.
Lightning Policy as of July 12, 2023
Wyncote Golf Club will no longer notify on-course golfers of inclement weather and lightning in the area by sounding an air horn.
In case of lightning, individual golfers already on the course are responsible for monitoring weather conditions and deciding if continuation of play is safe.
This facility does not possess an inclement weather warning or detection system. Golfers are advised to play at their own risk and we are under no obligation to warn, retrieve, and/or remove anyone from the golf course due to inclement weather, including lightning.
Golfers may suspend their round at any time upon their own determination of the dangers of existing, impending, or threatening inclement weather and golfers may be eligible for a rain check, Wyncote Golf Club is not responsible for injuries or damage resulting from inclement weather.
As soon as you hear thunder, see lightning, or sense an impending storm, seek the clubhouse or a large enclosed vehicle.
If sudden, close-in lightning does not permit evacuation:
Spread out from your group
Squat down tuck your head and cover your ears
Head for the safest place as soon as the immediate threat passes.
Thank you!
Wyncote Golf Club
