Fire destroys golf clubhouse down the road from Merion
This year is the centennial of Cobbs Creek Golf Club, a muny in western Philadelphia. It was named after its most diabolical hazard, which also runs along the eastern edge of Merion Golf Club, a few miles away. Merion and the Crick — as intimates often call the older of Cobbs Creek’s two courses — share an architect as well: Hugh Wilson, who designed Merion’s East Course in 1912 and created the Crick four years later.
