Grant/Sherman at Union League National Golf Club

The Grant/Sherman course at Union League National Golf Club represents one half of a 36-hole facility designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry in the Cape May County region of southern New Jersey. The club, which opened in the early 2000s, takes its name and thematic inspiration from the Union League of Philadelphia, a historic civic organization founded during the Civil War. The two courses honor Union military figures, with Grant/Sherman named for Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman.

The course occupies relatively flat coastal plain terrain typical of this part of New Jersey, situated a few miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the resort communities of the Cape May peninsula. Hurdzan and Fry, known for their environmental sensitivity and strategic design approach, worked with the natural sandy soils and native vegetation to create a layout that emphasizes ground game options and wind exposure. The routing incorporates wetland areas and natural corridors that provide both ecological function and strategic interest.

Union League National operates as a private club with connections to the Philadelphia-based Union League, though it maintains its own membership and governance. The 36-hole facility allows for varied playing experiences across the two courses, with Grant/Sherman offering a distinct character from its companion course. The setting provides a quieter alternative to the more densely developed golf corridors of the Jersey Shore, with the coastal environment influencing playing conditions throughout the season.
