[Rarebooks] FS: The Most Exclusive Golf Club in America

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Pine Valley Golf Club. A Chronicle”

By Warner Shelly.
Published by the Pine Valley Golf Club in 1982.

DISCUSSION: Pine Valley Golf Club, founded in 1913, is a golf course in
Pine Valley, New Jersey, which was ranked the number one course in Golf
Magazine's 100 Top Courses in the U.S. and the World in 2009. Wikipedia
notes- “Pine Valley Golf Club is a highly exclusive club. Male-only
membership is by invitation from the board of directors only. There are
about 930 members spread throughout the world, and the list is a closely
guarded secret. Although it is regarded as one of the greatest courses in
the world, Pine Valley has not played host to any major professional golf
tournaments, mostly because there is not enough room on the course to
accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. The club has stated that they
have no intentions to remove trees or change the layout of the course in
order to host a major tournament.”

This history and hole-by-hole survey of the club was written by a longtime
member. Many vintage photos of the course, the club, and members, are
included.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 8.5”x11”, 106 pages, color and black & white
illustrations.

CONDITION NOTES: Minor wear, former owner's name on the half-title page,
but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight binding.

PRICE: $100.00
