First time visiting Hawke Point and attending the Drive, Chip, and Putt golf event for Military Veterans in the NJ section of the PGA HOPE program. Unfortunately we didn't play the entire course, since the event was on the driving range, chipping area, and practice green. From the limited access to the course, you can tell this is a very well-maintained course, inside and out. The Pro Shop is full stocked with apparel, equipment, and accessories. Clubhouse staff was helpful and friendly.
Nonetheless, the Hawke Point and PGA HOPE staff made everyone feel welcomed. The competition was divided into teams based on branch of service.
The stations were well ran by the PGA HOPE staff; each were easy to jump into, even if you were new to golf. The energy and camaraderie was great. Made some new friends and the whole day felt meaningful.
If you're looking for something special that combines golf with purpose, I highly recommend getting involved with PGA of America's REACH Foundation. They have many programs that is positively impact the lives of youth, military, and underserved communities. read more
