Union League National Golf Club

The Meade/Grant course at Union League National Golf Club represents one of two 18-hole layouts designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry at this southern New Jersey facility. The club itself was developed by the Union League of Philadelphia, a civic organization with roots dating to the Civil War era, and the course names honor Union generals from that period. The property opened in the early 2000s as part of the organization's expansion into destination golf. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of Cape May County's inland landscape, where the coastal plain transitions into gentle wooded corridors and natural wetland areas. Hurdzan and Fry, known for their environmental sensitivity and strategic design approach, routed the layout to incorporate these native features while creating varied playing angles and risk-reward scenarios. The design emphasizes width off the tee with strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful positioning, and greens that demand precision on approach shots. Union League National operates as a private club with reciprocal privileges for members of affiliated Union League clubs, primarily drawing from the Philadelphia metropolitan area and Mid-Atlantic region. The facility includes both the Meade/Grant and Lee/Jackson courses, offering members considerable variety within a single property. The setting provides a quieter alternative to more densely developed shore communities, with the courses maintaining a parkland character amid the pines and native grasses of the New Jersey coastal region.
