TPC Jasna Polana Golf Club built on the 230-acre country estate home of Johnson & Johnson heir John Seward Johnson.  The estate was converted into an award winning golf club by his third wife Barbara Piasecka, who was of Polish decent (Jasna Polana means “bright meadows” in Polish) following Johnson’s death.  Her goal was to make the golf course “world class” and selected Hall of Fame golfer Gary Player and the PGA TPC to achieve this goal.  The result has been the identification of this beautiful golf course as one of the top private golf courses in New Jersey by Golf Styles Magazine.

 

The legendary Gary Player has created a very special golfing experience that balances a superb challenge to golfers of all levels with beautiful vistas carved out of the rolling hills, mature hardwood trees lining manicured fairways, numerous lakes, creeks and ponds.  All this adds to the challenge and spectacular beauty of the golf course.

 

The golf course is carved into a beautiful 230 acre piece of prime Princeton real estate by Gary Player who wanted to challenge the golfer to use the wide range of golfing skills required to play and score well, but to expose the golfer to a variety of scenic views to make playing the course both an enjoyable experience and rewarding.
