About this course

The Grant Course at Union League National Golf Club represents one half of a 36-hole facility designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry in the coastal region of southern New Jersey. The club, which opened in the early 2000s, was developed by the Union League of Philadelphia, a historic civic organization founded during the Civil War era. Both courses at the property bear names connected to that heritage—Grant and Lincoln—reflecting the club's historical ties. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Cape May County landscape, situated a few miles inland from the Atlantic coast. Hurdzan and Fry, known for their environmental sensitivity and strategic design approach, worked with the natural pine and hardwood vegetation of the area. The routing incorporates water features and native grasses, with the design emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and bunkering patterns typical of the architects' work from this period. The Union League National facility operates as a private club serving members of the Union League of Philadelphia and their guests. The club maintains the traditions of its parent organization, which has long emphasized civic engagement and patriotic themes. The Grant Course, like its companion Lincoln layout, provides a retreat for members seeking golf in a less densely developed setting than the Philadelphia metropolitan area, with the South Jersey location offering a distinct coastal plain character compared to courses in the city's immediate suburbs.

Getting there

The journey to Union League National Golf Club begins at Atlantic City International Airport, a compact and efficient gateway just twenty minutes north, or Philadelphia International for those seeking broader connections roughly an hour's drive away. The route south along the Garden State Parkway transitions from suburban sprawl to the low-lying marshlands and pine barrens of Cape May County, where the air grows salt-tinged and the horizon opens wide. A turn onto quiet rural roads reveals the club's discreet entrance, where manicured gates and long tree-lined drives signal arrival at one of the region's most private and meticulously maintained sanctuaries - a world apart from the boardwalk bustle just miles to the east.
