Golden Pheasant Golf Club opened its first nine holes in 1962, and the full 18 have been the club’s heart since 1963. Set on quiet Burlington County farmland in Lumberton and Medford Townships, the course winds through heavy woods next to the Flying W Airport. Rancocas Creek runs along its western edge and Little Creek cuts right through the property. Stephen Kay, ASGCA, the architect behind New Jersey’s acclaimed Architects Golf Club, later renovated the layout. Well-placed water hazards, dense foliage, and elevation changes on eleven holes demand a variety of shots and create plenty of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. The par-72 course plays just over 6,000 yards, so it’s relaxing and approachable for golfers of every level, but don’t let the scorecard fool you. The 450-yard par-4 fourth will test anyone, and the closing stretch of short par 4s rewards smart, aggressive play. With bent grass throughout and golf year-round, Golden Pheasant is a beauty to behold and a joy to play. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon!
Dress Policy: No jeans, cutoffs, or tank tops during in-season play.
Par 4 – 288 yards
The 17th is the course’s best risk-reward hole. Long hitters will be tempted to go for the green from the tee, and a well-struck drive can set up an eagle putt. A miss brings trouble, though, and a smart layup leaves a short wedge with a real chance at birdie. It’s the hole that can swing a match on the way into the clubhouse.
