About Us:
Jasna Polana was built in the early 1970’s as a residential property.
No effort or expense was spared in the four and a half years it took to build this exquisite 230-acre estate.

As the first Tournament Players Club in the greater New York/Philadelphia area, the TPC Jasna Polana is part of an exclusive network of TPC facilities worldwide. Jasna accommodates multiple Food and Beverage outlets, including banquet facilities, The Oak Room Bar, Meadows Dining Room, Living Room, Crown Derby suites and two on course lodging properties.
