Springfield Country Club is situated on a property which
was of a tract of land deeded in 1681 deeded by William
Penn to a surveyor, Robert Taylor. From 1730 to 1752,
the land and now historic home-site were occupied by one
Abraham Lincoln, great uncle of the 16th
President. The land was farmed until 1947, when it was
purchased by Thomas Sheridan, whose family sold it to
Springfield Township in the early 1960’s.
In the 1980’s the Township embarked on a Greens
restoration project to redesign all 18 greens on the
golf course. The project was approved by the board of
commissioners and the course was redesigned by David
Myers and James Simpson. The project was completed
in the spring of 2000 and has greatly enhanced the
condition and layout of the course, (6,018 yard par
70). In 1999 a 53,000 square foot clubhouse was
constructed and currently houses public dining rooms,
banquet rooms capable of seating 800 peaple, Proshop,
golfers’ grill, locker rooms and cart storage.
The Springfield Country Club Recreational Complex, owned
by Springfield Township, provides golf, ice skating,
swimming, dining and banquet facilities. It has become
a gathering place for people to participate in numerous
recreational activities and social events.
Over & Tingley, Civil Engineers located in Havertown Pa
back in the 40’s engineered the original golf course
design dated September 23, 1947.
