Thinking About Living in Applecross Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Applecross Country Club and the surrounding Philadelphia Main Line & Suburbs golf market.
Applecross Country Club is a Pulte Homes residential community in Downingtown, Chester County, built around an 18-hole Nicklaus Design course (credited to Michael Jack Nicklaus II under the Nicklaus Design studio), part of the broader Talamore Family of Clubs, which also gives members reciprocal privileges at other Pennsylvania and Pinehurst, NC clubs. The club offers Social, Casual, and two tiers of Full Golf membership directly to the surrounding community, with published age-banded pricing (e.g., a single Tier I member age 31-40 pays roughly a $2,000 initiation fee and $4,950 in annual dues for unlimited golf) -- a genuinely transparent, tiered access model distinct from the region's old-guard invitation-only clubs.
