About this course

Burlington Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Mount Holly, New Jersey, roughly twenty miles east of Philadelphia. The club traces its origins to the early twentieth century, with Scottish-born architect Alex Findlay credited with the original layout. Findlay, active in the formative decades of American golf course design, routed courses throughout the Mid-Atlantic and brought traditional principles to the region's varied landscapes. The course has undergone subsequent revisions by Clark Ault and Tyler Rae, reflecting the common pattern of evolution at established clubs as maintenance practices, equipment, and strategic thinking changed over generations. The property features the moderate elevation changes characteristic of New Jersey's inner coastal plain, with mature tree-lined fairways and greens that reflect both the original design era and later refinements. The routing takes advantage of natural contours, and the layout presents a mix of hole lengths and angles typical of courses shaped by multiple architects across different periods. Water features and bunkering provide strategic interest without dominating play. Burlington Country Club functions as a traditional private club serving the Mount Holly area. The membership enjoys a full calendar of club competitions and social events centered around golf and dining facilities. The course provides a setting for regional amateur tournaments and member-guest competitions, maintaining its role in the local golf community while preserving the character established over more than a century of play.

Getting there

Burlington Country Club sits just beyond the suburban sprawl of the Philadelphia-New Jersey corridor, accessible most directly from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), roughly forty minutes south and east by car, or from Newark Liberty International (EWR), a similar drive westward through the industrial landscape of central Jersey. The route itself traces a quiet transition from the urban grid into the rolling, tree-lined neighborhoods of Burlington County, where the club's elegant grounds emerge along the banks of the Rancocas Creek - a setting that feels far more rural than its proximity to two major metros would suggest. For those arriving by private aircraft, Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) offers a considerably closer alternative, situated just fifteen minutes north of the club's Mount Holly location. The final miles unfold through a landscape of old estates and manicured grounds, a gentle deceleration into one of the region's most storied private clubs, where the transition from highway to tree-canopied drive signals arrival at a sanctuary that has anchored this corner of New Jersey since the nineteenth century.
