Golf in Dilworthtown

Dilworthtown sits near the Delaware-Chester County border in a historic crossroads community within West Bradford Township that predates Chester County's suburban transformation by two centuries. The Brandywine Creek valley, which flows just to the west, witnessed the Battle of Brandywine in September 1777 — Washington's attempt to defend Philadelphia from Howe's British advance — and the area's Revolutionary War heritage is embedded in local identity. Chester County's horse farm and equestrian tradition runs strong in the western townships, where preserved farmland and post-and-rail fencing define the roadside landscape. Dilworthtown's country inn, operating since the eighteenth century, anchors the historic character of the crossroads. Golf in this corner of Chester County occupies terrain shaped by the Brandywine watershed, with courses drawing from the affluent residential communities that have grown through West Chester and its surrounding townships.
