Peddie School Golf Course



About this course
The Peddie School Golf Course serves the Peddie School, a private college preparatory boarding and day school in Hightstown, New Jersey. The course functions primarily as a practice and competition facility for the school's golf program, providing students with on-campus access to the game as part of the school's athletic offerings. Peddie has maintained a golf team for decades, and the course allows players to train and host matches without traveling to off-campus facilities. The layout occupies land on the school's campus in central New Jersey, situated between the urban corridors of Trenton and the New Jersey Turnpike. The terrain in this part of Mercer County is generally flat to gently rolling, typical of the inner coastal plain. The course design reflects its educational mission, offering a straightforward routing suitable for high school competition and instruction rather than championship-length challenges. As a school-affiliated course, Peddie's facility emphasizes accessibility for students and supports the development of junior golfers within the independent school athletic conference system. The course sees regular use during the school year for practice rounds and interscholastic matches. Its character aligns with other preparatory school courses in the Mid-Atlantic region, where the focus remains on providing a functional venue for student athletics rather than public play or tournament hosting.

Getting there
The journey to Peddie School Golf Course begins at either Newark Liberty International (EWR), roughly forty-five minutes north, or Trenton-Mercer Airport for those seeking a quieter regional gateway just twenty minutes west. The drive traces a gentle arc through central New Jersey's rolling farmland and suburban corridors, eventually narrowing onto tree-canopied roads that lead into Hightstown's historic village center. The course itself sits tucked within the verdant grounds of The Peddie School, a discreet ribbon of fairways woven into one of the state's most storied independent campuses - arrival feels less like reaching a destination than slipping quietly into a private academic enclave where golf has been played for generations.
