The Bergen County Parks Department announce that Soldier Hill County Golf Course has been selected as a host for the Veteran Golf Clinic PGA HOPE. All Bergen County veterans are invited to enjoy free PGA professional golf instruction every Thursday through October 27, 12pm–1:30pm at Soldier Hill Golf Course (99 Palisade Ave., Emerson, NJ). Additionally, following each instructional session, participants have the opportunity to take their game on to the course to play nine holes for free.
