Golf in Medford Lakes

Medford Lakes is a small Burlington County borough built around the Shamong Lake system, a network of man-made lakes created in the 1920s as a planned vacation community in the Pine Barrens. Two golf facilities (Medford Village Country Club and Medford Lakes Country Club) operate within the borough's boundaries, giving this compact lake community an extraordinary golf density for its size. The Pinelands-fringe setting provides sandy, fast-draining soils and the pine-oak woodland character that defines South Jersey's most distinctive recreational golf environment. The community's planned heritage gives its social institutions, including the golf clubs, an unusually close relationship with the residential neighborhoods they serve.
