History is everywhere at the Merion Golf Club, especially in the locker rooms. The two-story space in the stone pavilion features hundreds of lockers to accommodate its members and guests, all in a classic atmosphere.
Rows of mint green lockers line the room’s exterior, while raised ceilings with windows above allow light to filter into the room. Calling it celestial might be a bit of a stretch, but there is something about the space that feels sacred.
Ahead of this year’s Curtis Cup, we took a step inside Merion to experience all it has to offer. Check out below for a look at one of the coolest places in golf.

Stairs lead to the second floor cloakroom. After being greeted by a locker room attendant, you enter this open space with high ceilings.

The first locker alcove has a small window at the far end overlooking the practice green and, beyond, the 18th green. Not a bad place to change shoes after the tour.

Historic club artifacts adorn the poles separating the lockers.

A shower after the round is a must, and towels are provided in neatly stacked pyramids.
