Overview

The Pitman Golf Course facility is municipal owned and features an 18 hole public course complemented with a brand new clubhouse, bar and restaurant. Our amenities include a fully stocked pro shop and men’s and ladies’ locker rooms serviced by our experienced staff. The “Pitman Golf Club” opened April 1, 1927 originally as a nine hole course.  It was built on the Kincaid and Loughran farms located about one mile from the center of Pitman on the gravel road leading to Barnsboro via Alcyon Park.  The construction of the course was supervised by Scotsman and American golf pioneer Findlay, a renown course architect who designed dozens of courses.  He described Pitman as his “nine hole masterpiece.”  Eight of the original nine are present day holes 1, 16, 17, 11, 5, 6, 8, and 9.  Tee times recommended on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays only.  Special discounted rates are available for residents of Gloucester County.

Signature Hole: No. 11

The most difficult and demanding hole on the course is this par 4 measuring 429 yards and requiring a tee shot to be strategically positioned down the left side of the fairway in order to have a level lie for your approach to the green.  A well positioned tee shot will leave you with a medium to long approach shot over the water hazard with trees to the right. The green is guarded by a bunker that will capture all the shots short and left of the green. Consider yourself lucky if you score par on this one.
