Weequahic Golf Course (pronounced wee-KWAY-ik) is an 18-hole public course located in the Dayton neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey.
Weequahic is the oldest public golf course in New Jersey; the first nine holes were designed in 1913 by George Low, with the course opening for play in 1914.
[2][3] The word "Weequahic" is from the Lenni-Lenape Native American term for "head of the cove".
[4] The course sits next to the 311 acre (1.3 km²) Olmsted Brothers-designed Weequahic Park, which features a 2.2-mile rubberized jogging path around its 80-acre (324,000 m²) lake.
[7] The course is also home to the First Tee Program of Essex County which teaches youth to golf.
