Clemeton New Jersey's Pride - Pine Valley Golfing Course

By Chad W. Ashern

When it comes to golf courses that are among the most challenging and unique in the world of golfers one set of links often comes to mind Pine Valley of Camden New Jersey. Historically since 1913, Pine Valley has set the example of tough yet challenging.

Yet there have been golfers among the mix who have remarked at the most challenging holes on this golfing course that perhaps they should take a photo of the hole rather than play it. This way at least they might have their memories, yet retain set of golf clubs and balls intact and in order. Never mind their poise and reputation on the golf links and fairways of their travels in the world of sport and recreation.

Yet this avid golfer stayed and played and even immigrated to America as a result.

It can be said that no one ever goes to Pine valley Golf Club in Pine Valley, Camden County, New Jersey unacquainted but nearly everyone, and every golfer and golfing enthusiast is more than pleasantly surprised.

Pine Valley is a living monument to the Philadelphian who conceived it and almost single handily started to build and construct it. It is a shrine to the very spirit of the golf game and the sport of golfing. The conditions of its fairways and greens have long been the very standard of comparison to other clubs and facilities throughout the nation and indeed worldwide. Indeed it is horticultural one of the most unusual areas of the whole eastern seaboard of the United States. On top of that membership in this most prestigious club is of course highly coveted and treasured.

The club itself has been the source of much humor and dry humor at that in the golfing communities. It was repeatedly said by the very likes of the classic golfer Arnold Palmer that Pine Valley is not so tough if you can hit the ball straight, keep it out of the sand and putt reasonably well.

Lastly variety is endless and can be counted on for sure at Pine Valley, both adding to every golfers pleasure, challenge and frustration with their day on the fairways of their golfing careers. - 16887
