Michael Hurdzen

Michael Hurdzen has established his career primarily through work in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, with notable projects including Union League National Golf Club in Swainton, New Jersey, and Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey. At Union League National, Hurdzan's firm created a distinctive 27-hole layout featuring the Grant, Sherman, and Meade nines—named after Civil War generals—that can be combined into multiple 18-hole configurations. Several of these routing combinations, particularly Grant/Sherman and Hickory at Hamilton Farm, rank among the higher-scored courses in Course Vaults.

His portfolio also includes Delaware Golf Club in Ohio and Mallard Creek Golf Club near Cleveland. The work demonstrates versatility across different terrain types, from the sandy soils of southern New Jersey to Ohio's inland settings. The multiple nine-hole combinations at Union League National reflect thoughtful routing and design flexibility, allowing players to experience varied strategic challenges across different course pairings.
