USGA Museum, Golf history museum in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, United States.
The USGA Museum is a golf museum in New Jersey dedicated to the sport's history in America. The collections feature historic clubs, photographs, documents, and personal items that show how the game evolved over time.
The museum was founded in 1936 to build a collection of golf items for the United States Golf Association. Over time, this collection grew into one of the most important archives of golf history in North America.
The Hall of Champions rotunda displays the major trophies from national championships, with bronze plaques listing the names of past winners. Visitors can connect the trophies with the faces and stories of golfers who shaped the sport.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and sits in a quiet area outside Bernards Township. It is best to arrive early, especially on weekends, and wear comfortable shoes since the galleries are spread across multiple floors.
On the grounds is a putting course with nine holes modeled after the traditional greens of St Andrews in Scotland. Visitors can play golf themselves here and experience the same type of game that golfers have enjoyed for centuries.
