Jasna Polana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jasna Polana ("bright meadow" in Polish) was the estate of John Seward Johnson I and his third wife, Barbara Piasecka, at 8 Lawrenceville Road in Princeton, New Jersey. After his death, she converted it into a golf club and she moved to Monte Carlo in Monaco. The grounds are now the Tournament Players Club at Jasna Polana, and the house is now the clubhouse. The course was designed by Gary Player. Bogdan Cybulski (The CYBO Group, PA), a Clifton, NJ architect, has designed the conversion of the main residence to the clubhouse restaurant, and conversion of other buildings on the estate to board and bed facilities. Jasna Polana currently is a PGA tour facility.
