Golf. It’s all about tradition. Right? Well that’s okay if you’re all about stuffy dispositions and knickers. Here at Scotland Run it’s all about attitude.

We constantly re-evaluate our products, our services and ourselves with one goal in mind. To do it better. Better than we are doing it now and better than the competition.

You want to tee it up someplace where the layout offers variety, a different challenge on each hole. A place where you’ll be rewarded for a good shot, yet penalized for using a driver when hitting an iron to the marker would have been the best bet.

Scotland Run Golf Club is that place. It starts in the woods, where the first eight holes are played among tree-lined fairways. It then opens up for a few holes before heading into the quarry area, where the challenges become greater.

With five sets of tees, Scotland Run plays 5,010 from the forward tees to 6,810 from the tips. The fairways are tight and the greens are above average in size, giving golfers of all abilities an opportunity to play an upscale, daily-fee course where they feel most comfortable.

Always in outstanding condition, Scotland Run Golf Club is a thinking player’s golf course. You just can’t stand on the tee or sit in the fairway, grip it and rip it. You’ve got to have a strategy. You’ve got to know when to leave the woods in the bag and simply lay up. You need to know what area of the green to fire for, and whether the ball will stay there when it lands.

There are plenty of trouble spots, but that’s half the fun. Keep it somewhere in the fairway and you won’t be happy to be there.

There are three holes that are not only the elite of the course, but among the best South Jersey has to offer: holes #9 Par 3, #12 Par 4 and #18 (a 502-yard Par 5 challenge to remember.)
