In nineteen hundred and six, Mr. Ellis Gimbel and several of Philadelphia’s captains of commerce and industry came together to form a country club dedicated to golf, baseball, tennis and the pursuit of happiness through social interaction. They built two fabulous golf courses, a dozen tennis courts, a swimming pool and a sprawling clubhouse. Through their efforts they formed a family of friends that made Philmont a home away from home.

Philmont Country Club embraces the ideals of greatness that our Founders had, and we continue to strive for the satisfaction of its members and guests.
