With the PGA Championship next weekend, the PGA Tour needed to pivot and host the Truist Championship (formerly known as the Wells Fargo Championship) on sacred golf grounds at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

The Philadelphia Cricket Club is the oldest country club in America. Designed by A.W. Tillinghast in 1922, the Wissahickon Course will host a PGA Tour event for the first time ever, making the 2025 Truist Championship a truly historic event.  It’ll also mark the first time the PGA Tour returns to Philadelphia since the 2018 BMW Championship.

Like many other PGA Tour courses, the Philadelphia Cricket Club is a private club that provides members with the finest facilities and full-service country clubs in America.

Read on to learn how much a Philadelphia Cricket Club membership costs and the amenities available.

Philadelphia Cricket Club Membership Cost

The Philadelphia Cricket Club was founded in 1854, making it the oldest private club in the country. It offers a range of membership options, including Full Privileges, Golf-in-Waiting, Intermediate, House, and Junior Social, with dues and fees varying by age and membership type.

While Full Privileges memberships are currently at full capacity, the estimated initial fee stands around $40,500, with monthly dues of approximately $779 per individual. This tier grants unlimited access to both the Wissahickon and Militia Hill golf courses, all athletic facilities at St. Martins, the fitness center, dining venues, and social events throughout the year.

The most affordable option for individuals aged 36 and over is the House Membership, which starts at $6,250. Other tiers, such as Golf-in-Waiting, Intermediate, and Junior Social, carry different fee structures based on the member’s age and access level. While these tiers offer more limited access than the Full Privileges membership, they still allow members to enjoy the club’s rich amenities, including select golf access, dining, and social events.

Philadelphia Cricket Club Amenities

The Philadelphia Cricket Club offers a comprehensive array of amenities that cater to a wide range of interests and athletic pursuits. Members have access to top-tier golf facilities along with courts for tennis, platform tennis, pickleball, and squash. The club also features a swimming pool, a modern fitness center, and unique offerings like trapshooting, cricket matches, and social games such as bridge.
