 ​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.”
