By Kelsey W. Hecla


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.

In one quick glance, the eager golfer saw a beautiful but forbidding hole and he reacted like many with glee.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. 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. No doubt such courses such as the Glendale Golf & Country Club in Winnipeg Canada does not hold a candle to it.

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. It is precisely these tough but fair qualities that have made Pine Valley a most renowned as well as revered course, being a great collection and rare collection of great golf holes itself. It is rare that the name Pine Valley is often spoke of with great reverence among the worlds most experienced and avid golf nuts and enthusiasts.

Lastly when it comes to variety and challenges one of the most surprising comments by many is that on completing the round is that rakes in the sand bunkers are conspicuously missing, yet the sand is as pockmarked as the moon itself. And on top of that there are other signs of golfers shame gouges where they were someone unable to pick up their golfing balls cleanly off the sand. It seems that somehow footprints and gashes seem to attract golf balls like powerful magnets themselves.
