I had the pleasure of attending an event at a truly beautiful venue. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the decorations were lovely. The food was absolutely delicious, and the chicken was particularly tender.

Amazing experience but its only available to members. I had the privilege to dine at the infamous Baltusrol Golf Club where the PGA championships were hosted many times in the past. Their hall of fame boasts the legendary icons of the golf championship world.

Shared the day with a member where the golf courses and practice facilities were 5 star. After golf , visited the pro shop where I encountered great merchandise and professional employees. The clubhouse rounded out a perfect golf day. Thanks
