First Tee of Greater Philadelphia, John F. Byrne Golf Club

The main structure at the John F. Byrne Golf Club, a remnant of the original clubhouse from its days as a private club, had experienced such a dramatic lack of maintenance since the City of Philadelphia bought it in the 1960s, that they threatened to close it last year. First Tee of Greater Philadelphia took over operations of the Club last year and asked Kimmel Bogrette Architecture + Site to invest with them in turning the run-down facility into a modern combination clubhouse, First Tee Classroom, Golf Simulator, Pro Shop, Snack Bar, and Club and Golf Cart Storage Facility. New features also include new and dramatically larger windows overlooking the Course and a large elevated outdoor deck area.
