History
Huntingdon Valley Country Club was organized in June 1897. It was originally a nine-hole course and was subsequently expanded to 18 holes after acquiring additional land. The course was later moved to its present site in the mid-1920s. Play started on the 27-hole layout on April 14, 1928.
Huntingdon Valley Country Club also was known as one of the first places to play the sport of Squash. Huntingdon started one of the very first tournaments for Squash in the early 1900s.
