History

Aronimink gained media notoriety when it withdrew itself from plans to host the 1993 PGA Championship because it couldn't extend a full membership to an African-American before the start of the tournament.The club has since met all of the PGA's minority membership requirements and has hosted a number of PGA & USGA events since 1993.Logan, Joe.

Golf course

Aronimink was originally designed by Donald Ross in 1928. In 1948, upon revisiting and touring the course, Ross stated: “I intended to make this my masterpiece, but not until today did I realize that I built better than I knew.”
