1Club Park Golf

Together is more fun.

Located at Great Gorge in Vernon Township, 1Club is New Jersey’s first and only park golf venue. Built for pure fun and zero stress, anyone can jump right in, no experience, gear, or golf skills required. Pair a casual round against the Vernon Valley backdrop with cold drinks, great music, and lounge space at Hef’s Hideaway. Bring your crew, your family, or a date. By hole three, you will be arguing over who is winning.

WISH YOU KNEW. NOW YOU KNOW

What is Park Golf?

Not mini-golf. Not a golf course. The good part of both.

Most people walk in skeptical and leave asking about next weekend. Here is why:

How the game works:
You get one specialized wooden club, one brightly colored oversized ball, and a tee. That is all you carry around the course.
The holes are four times larger than standard golf cups, making it deeply rewarding for beginners while still keeping competitive scores tight.
A full round across our landscaped 5-acre property takes only 90 minutes to two hours, leaving you plenty of time to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Pricing

Affordable Fun for Everyone

We built 1Club to be an easy, affordable getaway. Every rate includes your complete equipment rental. Just bring yourself!

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FUN IT ACTUALLY Is

What Can You Do at 1Club?

The company matters more than the score, ask anyone who’s played next to their dad, their teenager, or their friends.

Play 9 or 18 holes: Walk our lush fairways, navigate strategic hazards, and take in the sweeping panoramic views of the Kittatinny Mountains.
Play, cheer, sip, repeat! A bar that earns its place in the experience. Visit Hef’s Hideaway Container Bar right on the course. Steps in, drinks in hand, actual conversation.
Great music on course: A curated background playlist keeps the vibe light and fun while you play. No awkward silence, no stuffy country club rules.
