Golden Pheasant Golf Club

Golden Pheasant Golf Club is an 18-hole public course located in Medford, New Jersey, approximately 25 minutes from the Philadelphia area. The course features a challenging layout suitable for golfers of all skill levels, combining demanding elements with playability.

The design incorporates diverse terrain with notable elevation changes, hills, and undulations throughout. Most greens sit at different elevations than the fairways, requiring strategic club selection. The course employs natural hazards including woods, streams, and drop-offs to protect greens, complemented by strategic bunker placement. While the first, second, third, and tenth holes are relatively flat, they are offset by elevated greens, sloping surfaces, and bunker positioning to maintain difficulty.

The course presents a balanced challenge with varied hole lengths and fairway widths. Greens are moderate in size and feature significant sloping and undulation. Natural protection is emphasized over extensive bunker systems, creating a distinctive design aesthetic. The fairways mix wide and narrow sections, while water hazards and sand traps are strategically positioned throughout.

Reviewed as offering excellent value for a public course in South Jersey, Golden Pheasant provides well-maintained tee boxes and presents an appropriate test for mid-handicap players through its combination of length, precision requirements, and natural hazards.
