Hamilton Farm GC in Gladstone,NJ ( 1998, Hurdzan/Fry& Fry/Straka} Reno
« on: August 17, 2024, 10:37:48 PM »
  Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey which was an original Hurdzan/ Fry design was recently renovated  by Fry / Straka Global Golf.  The facilities and property beyond golf are incredible which include one of the best par 3 courses on the planet as well as stables which are home to the US Equestrian Team....not a bad place to hang for a few days.

Wow more work at HF. Played there back in 2018 and IIRC they had done work less than 10 years prior.  You are correct in that the high end experience is certainly done very well.

I've got to ask, what on earth are they doing to a course that is only c.25 years old ?

I’m quite confident that all the bunkers were reworked along with some grassing lines. Not much more in the scope.

That's exactly what happened (and was long overdue). They do have a new superintendent, having let go the previous one last year after some unfortunate (nasty heat wave and semi-drought) impacts on the Highlands course.

Played for the first time a few weeks ago.  Amazing property - a big golf course. 18th in Golf Digest's 'best in state' seems very low.
