Restored Reverie: Aronimink to Host 2026 PGA Championship

Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, is preparing to host the PGA Championship in 2026 following a major renovation by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner.

Donald Ross originally designed the course in 1928, calling it his masterpiece. After decades of alterations by architects like William Gordon and Robert Trent Jones, Hanse and Wagner restored the layout to its original state. This included removing over 20 years of overgrown trees to reveal the course's original character. grenadier.co.za

The restoration focused on the intricate bunkering and green shapes Ross intended. The course, now 6,619 yards long and a par 70, is ready to challenge the world's best players next year.
