Here’s a closer look at what makes Hanover Country Club a cherished escape for families, couples, and individuals alike.

A Golf Experience for All Generations

At the heart of Hanover Country Club is our beautifully maintained 18-hole golf course—ranked among the region’s best. Designed to challenge seasoned players while remaining approachable for beginners, our course features picturesque fairways, well-placed bunkers, and fast, true greens. The rolling terrain and peaceful setting create an enjoyable atmosphere for a quick nine or a full round with friends.

Our dedicated golf staff—including professional instructors—offers private lessons, clinics, and youth programs tailored to help golfers of every age and skill level sharpen their game. Whether you're a competitive player or simply enjoy the fresh air and camaraderie, golf at Hanover Country Club is more than a sport—it’s a lifestyle.

A Summer Sanctuary: The Newly Renovated Pool & Splash Pad

One of the most exciting updates to our club is the newly renovated heated swimming pool and the addition of a family-friendly splash pad. The warm water makes it perfect for early and late summer swims, while the splash pad offers a safe, playful space for children to cool off and enjoy the outdoors.

Parents can relax poolside with a refreshing drink while the kids burn off energy, creating an easygoing yet luxurious atmosphere. The spacious layout allows plenty of room for both quiet lounging and active family fun.

Tennis & Pickleball: Active Fun for Everyone

Our tennis courts provide a classic country club pastime that’s as fun as it is competitive. Whether you’re playing a casual match with a friend, learning the ropes during a clinic, or joining a league, tennis at Hanover Country Club offers healthy fun in a scenic setting. We also offer pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports in America, giving members yet another reason to get out and play together.

Food is at the center of so many memories, and at Hanover Country Club, our dining experience is crafted to deliver both excellence and comfort. Our talented culinary team—led by Executive Chef Sean—creates elevated menus that feature everything from elegant entrees to classic, family favorites.
