Hawk Pointe Golf Club

Hawk Pointe Golf Club sits on a roughly 325-acre parcel in Washington Township, Warren County, that local land-use coverage describes as originally slated for a much denser housing project (reportedly over 1,000 units with a new school) before Richard C. Cotton, a fourth-generation Warren County resident and land planner, acquired and re-planned it in the mid-to-late 1990s as a lower-density, golf-anchored community. Cotton is credited as managing partner of both Hawk Pointe Golf Club and Asbury Farms Real Estate Development, the entity behind the surrounding residential product -- a direct, sourced link between the golf club and its residential development, not just geographic adjacency. The 18-hole, Kelly Blake Moran-designed course (par 72, 6,907 yards from the back tees, course rating 73.4/slope 133) opened in 2000, laid out as a 'core' routing where both nines return to the clubhouse, crossing wetlands, woods, and open meadow with visible wildlife (hawks, deer, turkey). The club today operates as a private, non-equity facility with a spread of membership categories (Individual and Family Golf, Corporate, Town & Country for members living 40+ miles away, limited-availability Social, Junior Executive, and Weekday memberships) and clubhouse amenities including a fitness center, saunas, locker rooms, banquet space for up to 300 guests, an outdoor pool and patio, and tennis courts.

Several named residential communities make up the planned parcel around the course. Reserve at Hawk Pointe is a 120-home, 55+ active-adult community built between 2003 and 2006, with homes priced in the mid-to-high $500,000s as of this research pass; some homes back directly onto the golf course, and residents are reported to receive a discounted rate at the club. Hawk Pointe Towns, a market-rate townhome phase built more recently by Ryan Homes (under the Asbury Farms Urban Renewal LLC entity), offered attached homes from the upper $300,000s to roughly $410,000 and is now sold out; a separate 'Hawk Pointe Area 2' phase adds a mix of market-rate townhouses, rental apartments, and group-home units, reflecting the parcel's broader mixed-income planning goals rather than a purely golf-course-luxury development. Taken together, this is a real, developer-linked golf-residential project with a documented resident discount -- meaningful residential integration -- even though club membership itself remains a separate, optional purchase rather than something included with or required by any home purchase there.
