Applecross Country Club
Applecross is an upscale and newly established Private Country Club in the Downingtown area. Our Club is considered a modern day Country Club with a diverse Membership and extensive first class Club facilities at every level.
New in 2010, Applecross’s Nicklaus course earned extensive acclaim including being named one of the Best New Courses in the Country when it opened for play. We have expansive programs in place for juniors, beginners and ladies golf. The Member golf events calendar has matured into a first class slate of events which span the gamut for all calibers of golfers.
Applecross is currently hosting 22,000 rounds of golf annually with the goal to grow to 26,000 - 28,000
Our practice facilities are among the finest in the area with an enormous bent grass tee driving range and 3 full size practice green areas, one of which double as a unique par 3, 19th hole for shootouts. Pure bent grass greens, tees and fairways are hugged by bluegrass roughs and tall fescue borders. It is a classic layout in the rolling countryside of Chester County.
NEW in 2023 is TOPTRACER technology on the range available in the app, or under covered bays with comfortable seating and TV’s.
Our 15,000 sq foot Golf Clubhouse opened earlier in 2017 to Rave Reviews with modern day locker facilities, Pro Shop, and the “Eagle’s Nest” high atop overlooking the 18th, 19th and 16th holes. The Eagles Nest features a 35 seat bar, large screen tv’s, shuffleboard, comfortable dining and a huge covered deck. The Club added a huge Firepit area overlooking the 18th hole and “Mulligans,” family friendly dining on its main level in 2021.
Other Member facilities include a Spa, indoor pool, extensive outdoor pool facilities, tennis, basketball, sport courts, and full service fitness center of more than 10,000 sq ft. with state of the art strength and cardio equipment along with exercise classes and personal training from our staff of 10 fitness professionals. Our Halfway Hut and Bev Cart feature extensive offerings and our Oasis pool bar provides yet another unique gathering spot for our Members.
Quite simply, there is no other Club in the area or region like Applecross.
