1Club Park Golf

1Club Park Golf is a park golf venue located at Great Gorge in Vernon Township, New Jersey. It is described as New Jersey's first and only park golf venue, offering a casual, scenic park golf experience designed for players of all ages and skill levels. The venue is built around the Japanese sport of park golf, which originated in 1983 as a more accessible and family-friendly alternative to traditional golf. At 1Club, players use a single specialized wooden club, a brightly colored oversized resin ball, and a tee to play a landscaped 5-acre course. The holes are nearly 8 inches wide, roughly four times larger than standard golf cups, making the game rewarding for beginners while keeping scores competitive. A full round of 9 or 18 holes takes about 90 minutes to two hours. The venue also features Hef's Hideaway, a container bar on the course serving cold drinks and handcrafted cocktails, along with lounge space, music, and panoramic views of the Kittatinny Mountains. Pricing is designed to be affordable, with rates including complete equipment rental; adult admission is $20 and children under 5 play free. 1Club positions itself as a social, stress-free outing for friends, families, and dates, emphasizing fun over competition. The venue is located within the Great Gorge area of Vernon Township, a region known for its outdoor recreation and resort amenities.
