The Philadelphia Lacrosse Association is inviting you to participate in the 2025 PLA Golf Classic on Monday, October 20, at Spring Ford Country Club in Royersford.
Your participation will support the PLA’s nonprofit mission to promote lacrosse in Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania, particularly the New Start Program, which provides technical and financial assistance to new lacrosse programs. Last year’s PLA Outing featured 100 golfers and 60 corporate and individual sponsors and raised over $29,000. The proceeds from the outing helped the PLA do the following:
-
Support the PIAA Public Lacrosse League and youth and middle programs in Philadelphia and beyond (including Eyekonz, Harlem Lacrosse, Youth Mentoring Program and others);
-
Continue our stick donation and refurbishing program, which benefits teams in the City and Greater Philadelphia;
-
Conduct/sponsor coaches’ clinics;
-
Maintain the USA Lacrosse Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter Hall of Fame, which will induct the Class of 2025 on October 19th at Spring Haven Country Club; and
-
Promote diversity and inclusion in the sport.
All sponsors will be recognized prominently in PLA communications.
Please reserve your spot in the outing by online registration. Space in the outing is limited, and registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

THE COURSE
Spring Ford, carved from the gently rolling countryside of Western Montgomery County, enjoys a rich architectural pedigree dating back to 1924. William Gordon (who designed Saucon Valley’s Grace & Weyhill courses and was a central figure in the revisions at both Shinnecock Hills and The Country Club) designed the original course. In recent years, the course has been updated based on a master plan developed by one of our generation’s greatest architects, Gil Hanse. Spring Ford features Mingo Creek meandering through its acreage. With water hazards on nine of the 18 holes, Spring Ford routinely ranks as one of the sterner tests of golf in the region.
