Visiting Kenilworth
Kenilworth works well for a compact Union County visit built around local dining, Galloping Hill Golf Course, the Nitschke House, community history and a true in-town hotel. The Boulevard keeps many stops close together.
Things to See & Do
3 Golf Drive. Union County’s public 18-hole course is a major Kenilworth-area recreation destination.
1 Golf Drive. The practice complex includes dozens of driving-range stalls, covered/heated hitting areas, practice greens and a nine-hole learning course.
A compact collection of restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, delis and cafés makes the Boulevard one of the easiest ways to experience local Kenilworth.
Historical programming, borough recreation and seasonal civic events offer additional reasons to visit. Check current borough calendars for dates.
Kenilworth’s strongest simple day-trip pairing is a round or practice session at Galloping Hill followed by dinner along the Boulevard.
