About this course

Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West offers a compact, spirited urban golfing experience born from the optimism of Jersey City’s post-industrial revival. This nine-hole layout, hugging the western edge of the park, is a product of contemporary design adapting to a unique cityscape. While no championship banners fly here, and no famed architects have left their mark, Skyway’s strength lies in its accessibility and community engagement. The course favors players who can deftly manage shorter distances and strategically navigate tight, tree-lined fairways. Precise iron play is rewarded; wayward drives are quickly penalized by the surrounding parkland. The membership mirrors the diverse and energetic spirit of Jersey City itself. From seasoned players seeking a quick round to newcomers discovering the game, Skyway fosters a welcoming atmosphere. Following a late afternoon round, many members gather at nearby eateries, celebrating both birdies and the camaraderie the course cultivates. Adding to its local charm, Skyway is rumored to be a popular spot for impromptu twilight rounds, with city lights providing a glittering backdrop – a fitting testament to the vibrant and evolving landscape it calls home.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), a swift fifteen-minute drive east across the Hackensack River and into the dense urban fabric of Jersey City. The route threads through industrial corridors and residential blocks before emerging at Lincoln Park West, where Skyway Golf Course occupies a striking stretch of reclaimed waterfront along the western edge of New York Harbor. The final turn reveals sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline across the Hudson - a dramatic urban backdrop that transforms the arrival into something far more cinematic than the modest neighborhood approach might suggest.
