A Return to Summer Socials -
     with the Hopewell Valley Historical Society​

         Sun., June 25, 2023, 3 - 5:30 pm
         Hopewell Valley Golf and Country Club
               114 Pennington-Hopewell Road (Route 654), Hopewell, NJ
Spend an afternoon renewing old friendships and exploring new places in the clubhouse of the updated Hopewell Valley Golf and Country Club, with hors d’oeuvres by Chez Alice and a cash bar.

The Hopewell Valley Golf and Country Club is now part of the Mercer County Park system. The 190-acre, 18-hole golf course was designed by Thomas Winton in 1927. The facility also includes tennis, swimming, paddle tennis, and pickleball.

The barn on the left is the location of the clubhouse, and the brick house on the right is the present office of the Golf Club.

 ​The Hopewell Valley Golf Club was founded relatively early in American golf history. “In September of 1927 the establishment of a golf course in Hopewell Township may have seemed like a modern and radical idea. Yet, the founders were on to something. There was apparently a pent-up desire to play golf.”
