Lawrenceville School Golf Club

The Lawrenceville School Golf Club serves the historic preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, a community situated between Princeton and Trenton. The course was designed by John Reid, a golf architect active in the early twentieth century who worked on several layouts in the Mid-Atlantic region. The facility functions primarily as a teaching and recreational venue for students, faculty, and alumni of the school, which was founded in 1810 and maintains one of the oldest continuously operating campuses in American secondary education. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of central New Jersey, with mature trees and modest elevation changes that provide natural definition to the holes. As a school-affiliated layout, it emphasizes playability and pace of play suitable for student golfers of varying abilities while offering enough strategic interest to serve as a competitive venue for interscholastic matches. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours without requiring excessive walking between greens and tees, a practical consideration for an academic setting. Lawrenceville School has a long tradition of competitive athletics, and golf has been part of the school's program for generations. The course supports both the school's varsity team and recreational play, contributing to the broader athletic and social life of the campus. The club maintains a relatively informal atmosphere consistent with its educational mission, focusing on introducing young players to the game and providing a convenient practice facility within the school grounds.
