There's nothing fancy about the George Fazio-designed golf course at Hillsborough Golf & Country Club. It's just a solid, enjoyable test of golf in a wonderfully peaceful setting a little more than an hour from New York City.

The Delaware River is both the best friend and worst enemy of the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort.

A liberal smattering of bunkers makes the course a challenge.
