Jasna Polana (pronounced yasna; meaning "bright glade" in Polish and "echoing the name of Lev Tolstoy's Russian home")[1] is the former 226-acre estate of John Seward Johnson I and his third wife, Barbara Piasecka Johnson.

[2] Barbara Piasecka Johnson was a Polish-born art historian whose collections of antique furniture and paintings filled the house.

After her husband's death in 1983, she spent more time in Europe, and new plans for the estate needed to be developed.

The championship golf course is a member of the Tournament Players Club network operated by the PGA Tour.

[2] In 1999, it hosted an edition of Shell's Wonderful World of Golf in which Tom Watson defeated Hale Irwin.
