About Merion Golf Club

Merion Golf Club is a storied private club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, encompassing two iconic courses—the East Course (opened 1912) and the West Course (opened 1914)—for a combined 36 holes. While the club does not publish a public seating chart, spectators view major events from on-course spectator areas and designated grandstands or tents. For large-scale championships, Merion has historically hosted thousands of spectators per day, with grandstands accommodating tens of thousands across multiple setups. This page covers how to experience Merion: parking, transit options, seating considerations, and nearby lodging and dining to help you plan a smooth visit with trusted local connections.
