That is the Bayonne Golf Club!

 

Lighthouse: The 242-foot-tall lighthouse is part of the spectacular castle-style clubhouse completed in 2008 on a hilltop, overlooking the Hudson River and the New York Harbor.

Course: Sporting views of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty, this private club transformed an old dumping site into a linksy course of fescue and mounds in 2006. Walking with a caddie is required. The Bayonne Golf Club is so exclusive that even the one percent of the one percent have trouble getting on.

I always thought it looked like a beautiful place for a wedding.     I am sure very very expensive.

Remember you are paying for the view.  Lots of Wall St. money

Not for anything but they are trying to make Bayonne a lot nicer of a place!

I don't know many people who can afford $750k....   anywhere. That's the kind of money that resides in NYC. Lol

Don’t think $750 is correct. Probably $75k. Dues about $1,500 a month. Pretty normal

Per Google in 2017 it cost $75k for initiation fee and $18.5k for annual dues.

The most expensive one in NJ is Liberty National.   In 2007 it cost $450k 

No idea what today's costs are to join either of these.

$75,000 not 750,000. Big difference.
