Pine Valley is a most unique golfing creation. Pine Valley has been referred to as the Apex of a challenging golf course itself almost a Penal Course design. It yields without all that much effort and trouble to the superior golfing enthusiast not too much effort or trouble, however those in the high handicap league will find the whole course length more than a bit challenging.
A few years ago a number of elderly gentleman from golfing lore, from around the globe, gathered at Pine Valley Golf Club to compete in a tournament that had been planned to promote good relations as well as create deep friendships among golfers and golfing enthusiasts. One of the players a Canadian from Manitoba, strode briskly from the clubhouse towards the first tee and turned to look down the fairway. An expression of amazement froze his face. Stretching out before him for some 170 yards was a jumble of sand and underbrush that appeared to be more like the untamed seaside of Scotland than a parcel of the garden State of the Colonies. Beyond the sandy wastes was a lush fairway, closely protected on each side by tall pines. The fairway turned right and disappeared between the trees. There was nothing else in sight.
Yet this avid golfer stayed and played and even immigrated to America as a result.
Variety is endless at this heaven on the golfing tour, adding both to each golfers pleasure or ultimate frustrations. No two tees turn to the same point on the compass and almost every single hole and vantage offers a scenic view that resembles any place but suburban Philadelphia. There are no unnatural hazards, no out of bounds and no hidden bunkers. Every bit of trouble is alarmingly, in view, just as Mother Nature, in her most devilish and beguiling mood might and would have placed it.
There is no other golf course in the world just like the spread at Clementon, New Jersey. Its unusual design and large baffling greens have earned for Pine Valley, a subtitle and reputation of being among the worlds tough and toughest golf courses, virtually without dispute.
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.
