Event organizers direct visitors to use SEPTA, rideshare services, or two pre-paid public lots located miles from the course. But some local residents are providing another solution and cashing in.
"We're just giving people options," said Justin Dahlin, a Newtown Square resident. "I know some people have to park really far away, in certain lots."
Neighbors like Dahlin are offering spaces on their properties, allowing fans to park within walking distance of the course. The arrangement has proved popular among attendees looking to avoid long commutes.
"Why not give an opportunity to reserve space for cars?" Dahlin said.
Prices vary widely depending on location, with some homeowners charging premium rates for proximity. Golf fans Justin Long and his friend found one of the closest options available at a private residence.
"We found Al here. He had a sign that said, 'Call my number and you can park,'" Long said. "Shout out to Al, he's a big hit."
That homeowner, Al Nassin, said his backyard offers a particularly appealing vantage point.
"I park them in the backyard, because in the backyard it backs up to the 5th hole of Aronimink Golf Course," Nassin said.
The demand for convenient parking has been driven in part by high secondary-market prices. Parking spots listed online can reach up to $400 on SeatGeek and as much as $938 on Vivid Seats.
With limited official parking and high resale prices, residents offering nearby spaces have quickly become a popular alternative for tournament-goers, and a profitable opportunity for those close to the action.
