The beauty and bounty of this place called Battleground Country Club has held man in breathless wonder since before the dawn of history.  Yet history was made here, George Washington’s Continental Army’s victory over the British at the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778 was fought on this soil. These woods are silent now. Today, a private, championship golf course and country club makes history of a different sort, here, battles are now won by those who fire the fewest shots.
