Book Tee Time: Tee Time

About:

Originally Designed by George Lowe (then Baltusrol Pro) in 1913. Weequahic Golf Course opened for play in 1914, making it the oldest public golf course in the state of New Jersey. Over time renovations were done to turn it into an 18 hole golf course. in September 2024- Summer 2025 Weequahic will undergo a full renovation including new greens, tees, bunkers and an updated routing to provide much improved playability.

The course sits amongst the beautiful Weequahic Park on the shoreline of a 200 acre lake with the same name. It offers rolling topography and beautiful conditions that offer extreme value. Don’t let the length fool you, the tight fairways, elevation changes and small greens tend to test even the best golfers, and force you to use all the clubs in your bag.

A historic course nestled in Newark with easy access from multiple major highways awaits. From beginners to experienced golfers, this course is incredible for all playing abilities. With views of One World Trade and the Iconic Anheuser building you will want to keep coming back.

Parking Instructions

***Do not try to park first without getting the keycard first***

In the image is a key card to enter the parking lot. Once you enter the loft, the key card is directly n your left side on the table. The picture of the parking lot is the side you should enter when driving a car.

This is the main entrance and exit of the parking lot (24hr access). Once you arrive at the entrance gate, use the RFID card to tap the “Scan” button with the key card (RFID). The large red square indicates where you should park. I recommend parking closer to this building so that you can easily walk to the entrance. After 9 pm every night, there is a black metal gate that closes and has a padlock on it. You will use the actual small key on the key chain to unlock the gate and proceed through.

 

Once you are leaving the parking lot, this is the building you will enter:
