Scotland Run Golf Club is a public golf course and country club situated in Williamstown, New Jersey. The 18-hole course was established in 1999 and was built on an old sand quarry, offering a unique blend of wooded, quarry and links-style landscaping. The course features five holes that come into contact with the quarry landscape, with the 16th hole being particularly notable. Golfers must hit over the quarry and into the landing area, which is nearly 400 yards away from the black tee.[1][2]
