Golf
From newcomers to all-league honorees, AFS Golf offers a tradition of growth, competition, and camaraderie.
Golf at Abington Friends School offers students a meaningful opportunity for personal growth through individual skill development and a strong sense of community. Our program welcomes all interested students in grades 9–12, as well as skilled 8th graders. The team plays 9-hole matches at local courses, with home matches held at the renowned Huntingdon Valley Country Club, designed by legendary architect William Flynn. Additional practices take place at The Abington Club, conveniently located within walking distance of campus.
A spring sport, the golf program runs from mid-March through mid-May, with practices and matches held five days a week.
