Rolling Green Golf Club is a William Flynn designed golf course located in Springfield Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Established in 1926, the 18-hole course features 6,628 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 72.8 and it has a slope rating of 136. Founded to be a "golf club meant for golfers", Rolling Green has always proudly been a golf-only facility, without country club frivolities such as tennis or swimming. The course reflects Flynn's design philosophy, emphasizing "premium on player accuracy and the emphasis on naturalness in design."

The course is named Rolling Green due to its rolling piece of land that architect William Flynn masterfully put to its highest purpose, with routing that brilliantly uses the hills and valleys to place greens in ideal, often elevated spots, creating challenge throughout. The defining feature of the course is the fact that nearly every one of these greens is perched and elevated, with steep bunkers on either side and severe false fronts short. The quintet of par-3's at Rolling Green is particularly strong, with examples including the dramatic ridgeline green at the 6th hole, the massive chasm en route to the 14th green, and the heavily guarded 16th.

Rolling Green has hosted two USGA national championships (1976 US Women's Open, 2016 US Women's Amateur), multiple Golf Association of Philadelphia majors, as well as the 2021 PGA Forme Tour Rolling Green Championship. Rolling Green was ranked the 9th best golf course in Pennsylvania by Golf.com.
