About this course

The Meadows Golf Club sits in Lincoln Park, a borough in Morris County in northern New Jersey, roughly thirty miles west of New York City. The course was designed by Francis Duane, an architect who worked primarily in the mid-Atlantic region during the mid-twentieth century. Duane's designs typically reflect the practical, member-focused approach common to many courses built in the postwar era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural terrain available. The layout at Meadows occupies land characteristic of the New Jersey Piedmont, where gently rolling terrain and mixed hardwood vegetation provide the setting. Courses in this part of Morris County often feature moderate elevation changes and tree-lined corridors, with routing that follows the natural contours of the property. The design likely incorporates traditional parkland elements—strategic bunkering around greens, doglegs that reward accurate placement, and greens with enough movement to test short game skills without overwhelming recreational players. Meadows Golf Club serves as a private facility for its membership, offering a retreat from the suburban density of the surrounding region. The club provides a setting where members can play regular rounds in a relatively quiet environment, typical of many mid-sized private clubs in northern New Jersey that balance competitive golf with social and family activities. The course remains a steady presence in the local golf community, maintaining its role as a neighborhood club for those who value consistent conditioning and accessible design.

Getting there

The journey to Meadows Golf Club begins at Newark Liberty International (EWR), less than thirty miles to the southeast, or Teterboro Airport for those arriving by private aircraft - a discreet gateway favored by New York-area executives. From either point, the drive northwest traces the gradual transition from urban density to the wooded ridges of northern New Jersey, following Interstate 80 into Passaic County before slipping onto quieter local roads that wind through Lincoln Park's residential landscape. The final approach reveals the club tucked into a surprisingly serene enclave, a hidden retreat that feels worlds removed from the Manhattan skyline visible on clear days from its elevated fairways.
