A Perfect Union
If Wawa and water ice aren’t part of your lexicon, you may be unfamiliar with the concept of the Union League of Philadelphia. Originally founded in 1862 to support Abraham Lincoln and the Union side in the Civil War, this social club continues to thrive, and its holdings now include three Philly-area golf properties. The most bombastic of these is Union League National, a 27-hole Fry-Straka design just north of Cape May, on the Jersey Shore. Shades of Pine Valley, Calusa Pines, Caledonia and Tobacco Road can be seen at this delightfully off-the-wall private hideaway, and this fall, the Broken Tee Society has scored a coveted invite. Join us down the Shore for an all-day thrill ride.

There will be double-bogey max scoring in place.
We require a GHIN or other accredited handicap to participate in the NET division.

Pricing is per person. Refunds will be processed once the spot is filled, minus a 5% processing fee. Please email events@golfersjournal.com to request a refund.
What is not included?

Caddie Information
Every group will have a forecaddie for all 27 holes. The base fee of $60 is included in your event fee but we ask that each player tips their forecaddie $40 following the day.
If you wish to have a walking caddie who will carry your bag, please reach out to foster@golfersjournal.com.
