In 1931 Donald Ross designed the Jeffersonville Golf Club. Prior to becoming a golf course the 135 acre parcel had been a Farm with a racetrack. In the early 1900's an oval half-mile steeplechase was located behind what became the 14th green and left of the 17th fairway. The track evolved into the Montgomery Riding Academy.  In 1919 the farm was purchased by Anson B Evans a former Norristown burgess, he converted it into an 18 hole golf course. The course was designed by Donald Ross in 1931. From the early 1900's and the late 1940's the renowed golf course architect designed 416 Golf Courses. Jeffersonville Golf Club was said to be one of only ten designed courses owned by a municipality.

In 1972, the West Norriton Municipal Authority bought the property that was leased to West Norriton Township for 35 years. At fullfillment of the lease, full ownership of the property passed to the Township. Funded by a $3 million bond issue, renovations to align. restore, and modernize the course were completed in 2002. Tees were restored, bunkers were installed, trees and obstacles were removed, and a new irrigation system was created to provide optimal playing conditions.

Currently more than 35,000 rounds of golf are played annually. Golf clinics are offered for children and adults. Local high school teams from Norristown and Perkiomen Valley practice and play at Jeffersonville.
