The LuLu County Club is a century-old club that started as a farm owned by George Cox, bordered by Limekiln Pike
and Jenkintown Road. During the first decade of the twentieth century, George Cox would invite his fellow Shriners
from LuLu Temple, together with their families, to join him there for picnics on weekends.
One Sunday in the summer of 1907, William H. Ward, who had just returned from a visit to England, showed up at the
Cox farm with a golf club under his arm. Few of the picnickers had ever seen one, but in short order a number of
them were demanding the chance to take a swipe at a golf ball. The farm's days of producing corn and tomatoes were
numbered, and in 1909 the golfing Shriners rented the farm from George Cox in order to build a nine-hole golf course.
Today, the course is an 18 hole course designed by world renowned course designer, Donald Ross. And today LuLu's golf
course is considered a "hidden gem." The course possesses unique character and offers golfers many challenges
with demanding green contours, with a variety of bunker styles and interesting topography. A recent course refurbishment
has restored many features lost over time, giving a fresh look to this classic course.
