Golf at Shawnee is truly an awe-inspiring experience for many reasons.

The Setting: 27 holes of championship golf located on a private island in the Delaware River.

The Layout: Shawnee was designed to compliment its natural setting. American golf architect, A.W. Tillinghast, originally designed the course in 1906. This was his first course and he went on to design Winged Foot, Baltusrol, Beth Page Black, and many other famous courses.

The History: Shawnee enjoys a rich golf history. Many golf legends have played at Shawnee: Walter Hagan, Paul Runyon, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Hale Irwin and others. Shawnee was the host to the 1938 PGA Championships and the 1967 NCAA championships. Famous entertainer, Jackie Gleason played golf here for many years. In his very first round he shot a 143, fifteen months later, he was shooting an amazing 75.

The Present: Shawnee has embraced the game of golf with the addition of their own golf school, the Tillinghast Golf Academy. Located in a restored red brick building from 1752, the academy has a state-of-the-art practice facility, first class instructors and a new 9-hole approach course.
