Panther Valley Golf & Country Club is a private golf and country club set in the hills of Allamuchy, New Jersey, approximately 50 miles from New York City.

At the heart of the club is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., offering challenge and natural beauty across a rolling landscape. Beyond the course, the club hosts weddings, banquets, corporate meetings, and golf outings, with a dedicated approach to exclusive event service — wedding receptions are booked one at a time, ensuring each couple receives the full attention of the venue's staff.
