John Byrne Golf Course is located at Frankford Avenue and Eden Street (9500 Leon Street). The Park is the former "Holmesburg Golf Course," which opened in 1931. In 1945, the "Holmesburg Golf Course" was converted to the "Poquessing Golf Course" and later reverted to the "Holmesburg Golf Course." The current Park was named for local politician and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commissioner John Byrne in July 1966. The "Holmesburg Golf Course" was administratively transferred from the Department of Recreation to the Fairmount Park Commission on 1 July 1972. Since 2008 the Park golf course has been operated by Billy Casper Golf, Inc.
