Pitman Golf Course is an 18-hole course measuring 6,125 yards with a par of 70. Designed by Alex Findlay, the first nine holes opened in 1927, with the course expanding to 18 holes shortly after. The course is owned and operated by Gloucester Township, which purchased the property in 1994 and subsequently renovated it while building a new clubhouse and event pavilion. Located about 30 minutes south of Philadelphia, the facility offers both public and tournament play.

The par-70 course measures 6,125 yards from the back tee and 5,731 yards from the middle tee, compensating for its moderate length with challenging and interesting green complexes. The course features wide fairways and medium-sized greens that roll true, with water hazards from creeks coming into play on two holes. The course rating is 69.4 with a slope rating of 118. The routing is notably clever for a piece of land with minimal elevation change.

The course closed in 1942 and operated as a hay farm for 12 years until reopening in 1954. The only major change to the original design is the 7th hole, making it one of the few relatively untouched examples of Alex Findlay's work. The facility includes an onsite driving range with three practice tees, and operates as a public course open year-round.
