Radley
Run Country Club in rural West Chester, PA hosted the GOLFWEEK Amateur Tour

A field of 56 tour members from 3 tours competed on a hot and humid summer
afternoon on the private club course. Radley
Run was designed by Alfred Tull, and opened in 1964. The course
features sweeping vistas of the surrounding homes, many elevation changes,
numerous water hazards, and several brilliant risk-reward holes.
