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.
No doubt about to visitors from abroad , on a golfing tour it was Pine Valley that captured the interest of many an experienced international golfer out on a vacation or golfing tour. The story is always told that early on, in the history of this venerable golf course that visitor from nearby Loch Ness in Scotland strolled out on the links looking for Manitoba plains buffalo loitering on the greens.
Looking across the links many a beginner or even most experienced golfing enthusiast can see both challenge and torment, heaven and the devil him or herself of the golfing world.
Yet few leave this golf teeing grounds and bunkers without the staunchest admiration for the place.
Pine Valley is a living monument to the Philadelphia citizen who conceived it and almost single handily started to build and construct it. To the say the least this course is no hobo-ken layout of a golf course laid out in the Manitoba bush called quaintly "The Narrows". 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 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.
