John F. Byrne Golf Club is one of the most respected courses in Philadelphia. Purchased by the City in the early 1960's, it was renamed after famous Philadelphia councilman, John F. Byrne. The layout is highlighted by the Torresdale Creek which winds its way through the course coming into play on 10 holes. In addition to the water, this picturesque golf course features oversized bunkers that are strategically placed to protect the average-sized greens.
