Applecross Country Club, the Philadelphia area's first Nicklaus-designed golf course opened July 1, 2010. Located less than 40 minutes from Philadelphia in Downingtown, Applecross is a residential golf community featuring a broad array of first-class club amenities.

The 18-hole championship golf course at Applecross weaves through the Chester County countryside providing a unique to the area experience for golfers. Wetlands and water features grace the surroundings of 14 of the holes. In addition to the course, Applecross promises to provide a truly unique lifestyle and Club experience. The club will also feature an expansive clubhouse with multiple dining options.

Adding to the Nicklaus excitement is a unique Multi-Club Membership opportunity as Applecross joins the Talamore Family of Clubs, providing its Members four outstanding Clubs under one membership Umbrella. "For the Chester County - Montgomery County area this is a totally unique Club concept," said Jon Hazelwood, Director of Club Operations for Applecross and Talamore. "At just 45 minutes apart, Applecross and Talamore offer two incredible and unrivaled Club and golf experiences in the Philadelphia area, and having access to our 36-hole Talamore Golf Resort in Pinehurst, NC is the icing on the cake. This fully seamless Membership provides a level of value and variety that is unmatched," stated Hazelwood.

Members will also bask in the brilliance of The Grove at Applecross. Opened in 2009, this all-season recreation center features an Olympic-size swimming pool, an indoor pool, a kid's 'splash zone', a Jacuzzi and tennis courts. There is also a 10,000 square-foot Sports Pavilion outfitted with state-of-the-art cardio and weight training equipment along with areas for personal training and specialized exercise and wellness classes such as yoga, palates and aerobics.

A Private Club with Membership programs designed to fit your lifestyle and budget...

Together, it’s hard to imagine a Club experience that offers more quality at a better value than the Talamore-Applecross Multi-Club Membership. Our Membership programs feature a variety of options including social, casual and full golf. Special plans for unlimited golf are available for Juniors, those under 30 and over 60. Most Clubs use a one size fits all approach when it comes to Membership. Talamore works hard to find the right size plan for each Member. Simply put, there really is no Membership like the Talamore Family of Clubs Membership.
