Galloway National Golf Club

Tom Fazio designed Galloway National Golf Club in 1995 on a piece of Galloway, New Jersey Atlantic coastal-pine land north of Atlantic City. The course was conceived as a national private club with hospitality emphasis — Galloway National's brief from founder Vernon Hill was a Fazio-designed routing capable of hosting national-level amateur championships without becoming a destination-resort property in the broader sense. Fazio routed the eighteen holes through native New Jersey Pine Barrens scrub-oak and pitch-pine terrain with natural sand-and-creek crossings as the architectural defense.

The course plays around 7,100 yards par 71 from the championship markers, with bent fairways and a slope in the upper 140s. Fazio's signature throughout is the large, contoured green complexes and the generous fairway corridors that demand specific approach angles. The fifteenth hole is a 537-yard par-5 with a tee shot played over a natural sand depression; the seventeenth, a 215-yard par-3 across a natural pond, is the routing's most-photographed one-shotter. The native pitch pine and scrub oak outside the playing corridors are the architectural defense, and the property's coastal-pine setting gives it visual signature distinct from the broader Atlantic City-area golf landscape.

Galloway National is private and the membership is national in composition. Access is members and accompanied guests only. The hospitality model includes lodging on the property for member-guest programming, and the club has hosted U.S. Mid-Amateur qualifying and various national-level amateur events. The pine-barrens setting and the dedicated amateur-tournament hosting give the club a particular institutional character.

South New Jersey coastal climate gives Galloway National a playing season of April through November, with the firmest conditions in September and October. The Atlantic-influenced marine breeze gives the property reliable daily wind. The course closes through brief winter cold snaps. The native pine-barrens foliage gives the property visual signature that has been preserved through the construction and continues into the routing's mature seasons.
