USGA Museum, Golf history museum in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, United States.
The USGA Museum is a golf museum in Bernards Township, New Jersey, dedicated to the sport's history in the United States. Its collection includes historic clubs, photographs, documents, and personal items that trace how the game changed over generations.
The museum was founded in 1936 by the United States Golf Association to gather and preserve golf-related objects. Over the following decades, the collection grew into one of the most important golf archives in North America.
The Hall of Champions rotunda displays the original trophies from national championships, with bronze plaques listing past winners' names. Visitors can match the trophies to golfers whose faces and stories they may already know from television.
The museum sits outside the center of Bernards Township and is easiest to reach by car. The galleries span more than one floor, so comfortable shoes make the visit easier.
On the museum grounds there is a nine-hole putting course modeled after the greens of St Andrews in Scotland. Visitors can play on it themselves, experiencing a form of the game that has stayed largely the same for centuries.
