Scotch Hills Golf Course

About this course
Scotch Hills, nestled in the heart of Scotch Plains, is a testament to enduring community golf. Carved from the rolling hills of central New Jersey, this parkland-style course presents a classic, walkable layout. Its gently contoured fairways, tree-lined holes, and subtle elevation changes reward strategic play, where precise iron shots are often favored over raw power. Originally designed in 1927, Scotch Hills offers a touch of Golden Age charm. Subsequent renovations, while modernizing aspects of the course, have respected its fundamental character. The course is known to favor shot makers with a penchant for controlled fades that can manage the dog legs. While not a national championship venue, Scotch Hills is a fixture of local amateur golf and a beloved hub for generations of golfers from Union County and beyond. The club has maintained a steady pace of play throughout the decades.
