Radley Run boasts a connection to the American Revolution that is unmatched in Chester County. Our golf course and historic buildings are located on land once traversed by General George Washington and the Continental Army as they made their way toward the Battle of Brandywine in September of 1777.
This unique connection with our country’s battle for independence remains to this day, seen across the heraldry of Radley Run, as we honor and celebrate the many symbols of the Revolution, from the Hessian soldier as our primary club logo, to the flags of the armies of the Revolution displayed across the property, and the even the names of our various sporting competitions.
Our newly constructed clubhouse includes the 1777 Tavern, a salute to the year of the famous battle. The land that forms our club grounds dates further back to a direct purchase from William Penn. The stately Radley Run Mansion House is a historic landmark that originated in 1770. It hosts elegant private events and club celebrations to this very day.
The rich history of our grounds continued into the early twentieth century as the property became home to the Brandywine Hounds, highly regarded as one of the finest fox hunting clubs in the Northeast. Original structures including the Kennelman’s and Huntsman’s House are now used as part of the club’s golf operation.
The evolution of our historic property is held with great pride by our members and surrounding community. Wherever you turn at Radley Run, you sense the history of the land and the significance of independence as we continue forward, forging our own story, as a member-owned and governed club.
