PGO: Penn. Golf Course Owners / Operators

09/08/2026

Today, PGO joins GCSAA and the golf community in saying a big THANK YOU to golf course superintendents and their teams everywhere!

Great golf doesn’t just happen. Behind every great course are talented, educated and dedicated professionals working long before the first tee shot — managing turf, people, weather, technology, environmental stewardship and countless other challenges.

So, if you’re playing golf today — or simply love the game — take a moment to !

👏 Thank you for everything you do to make our game and golf courses better!

**NEW PGO MEMBER**
Welcome to the PGO Bluestone Country Club!

Founded in 1949 by a group of friends led by Philadelphia attorney Sylvan Cohen, Meadowlands is now known as Bluestone Country Club.

The original 130-acre property featured a stone manor, pool, stables, and golf course. Updated in the 1990s, the par-71 Championship Course now offers a modern, challenging test of golf.

Today, Bluestone remains committed to maintaining a beautiful, enjoyable course for all who play it.

Welcome New PGO Member
Stonewall Links

A private golf partnership located in northwest Chester County Pennsylvania, Stonewall was conceived over 32 years ago by a group of golf enthusiasts who longed for golf in its purest form - without tee times or restrictions; where players are encouraged to walk the course.

Rather than another good country club, Stonewall was conceived as a golf club with excellent courses available for Partners whenever they wanted to play; challenging for the superior player while manageable for the average player. What Stonewall is not, is perhaps just as important as what it is. The vision was simple. A quiet, unpretentious, walking course in the countryside where one wouldn't have to worry about a full tee sheet or encroaching development.

The facilities at Stonewall now include two eighteen hole championship golf courses, each with practice facilities, three golf houses with overnight accommodations, a golf shop and restaurant facilities.

Check out Stonewall Links & give them a welcoming PGO Hello! https://www.stonewalllinks.com/Home.aspx

WELCOME NEW MEMBER COURSE, RIVER VALLEY CLUB!

RVCC is a scenic 18- hole golf course located in Westfield, PA.

At RVCC, not only will you experience a great game of golf, but you will be immersed in the beautiful scenery of Northcentral Pennsylvania. We offer an 18 hole course designed by Geoff Cornish that has sand traps, mountainous terrain, and water hazards.

River Valley appears easy to the eye as it is a fairly short wide open golf course. However, you will be challenged with many unlevel lies and putts that can be difficult to read.

The course is well maintained and allows for a rewarding round of golf. Since walking can sometimes be challenging, golf carts are available for rental.
