Pine Valley, NJ
Pine Valley Golf Club
Pine Valley began with George A. Crump’s 1913 purchase of land in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens for a group of Philadelphia golfing associates. While the others organized the Club, Crump concentrated on designing and building the course.

George Crump’s consuming project
Construction difficulties and escalating costs threatened the project. Crump lived mainly on the grounds during the work and committed substantial personal resources to keep the Club going. He died in 1918 before the course was complete.
The course took shape in stages: eleven holes were completed by 1914, three more in 1915 and the final four in 1919, after Crump’s death. Howard Street led the group that carried the work forward, with architects and Club members contributing. Further revisions were completed in 1922.
