Designed by William Flynn and Howard Toomey on its 157 acre property in 1925, Rolling Green Golf Club opened for play in 1926.  Founded by a group made up primarily of Quakers who lived in the nearby town of Swarthmore, the club’s first known public statement of purpose was, “to omit all social frills that enter into the life of a country club, and make it a shrine where the skill and ingenuity of the lover of the game could have full play.”
