Lake Mohawk Golf Course

Lake Mohawk Golf Club sits in Sparta, a township in Sussex County that anchors the northwestern corner of New Jersey — a region of glacial lakes, forested ridgelines, and rolling terrain that feels a long way from the suburban sprawl to the south. The Kittatinny Mountains frame the horizon, and the broader Skylands area draws visitors for its outdoor character as much as for golf. Courses up here tend to play through terrain that has genuine contour and personality.

The par 70 configuration suggests a layout that leans on shot-making and variety rather than pure length — a design choice that often rewards placement over power and keeps a wide range of players competitive. Par 70s can quietly be among the most interesting rounds a golfer plays, where the shorter par 4s demand precision off the tee and the overall routing asks for a complete bag.

Lake Mohawk itself is one of the larger private lake communities in New Jersey, and the club carries that established, members-oriented character — a place built around belonging to a specific landscape rather than impressing visitors passing through.
