Westwood Golf Club

Westwood Golf Club sits in Woodbury, New Jersey, a community in Gloucester County roughly ten miles south of Philadelphia. The course was designed by Horace W. Smith, a Philadelphia-based architect who worked primarily in the mid-Atlantic region during the early-to-mid twentieth century. Smith's designs typically emphasized playability for club members while incorporating the natural terrain features common to the region's rolling landscapes. The course occupies land characteristic of southern New Jersey's topography, with modest elevation changes and mature tree corridors that define playing corridors. Smith's routing philosophy generally favored strategic options over penal design, allowing golfers of varying abilities to navigate the layout while rewarding thoughtful course management. The property's tree-lined fairways and traditional green complexes reflect the architectural sensibilities of the era in which it was built. Westwood functions as a private member club serving the Woodbury area and surrounding communities. The club provides a setting for regular member play and local competitive events typical of established regional clubs in New Jersey. Like many courses of its vintage in the Philadelphia suburbs, Westwood represents the kind of accessible, well-maintained facility that forms the backbone of American golf club culture outside the tournament spotlight.
