Pine Valley Golf Club is located in Camden County, New Jersey. Founded in 1913, Pine Valley included 184 acres of rolling pinelands. The course is a private country club which only allows women to play after 1:00pm on Sundays.
Pine Valley is so popular that recently two club members were suspended for charging their guests for their rounds. The fee they charged was $10,000.00. In spite of it’s number 1 rating there were only two major tournaments held there, the 1936 and 1985 Amateur Walker Cup championships.
