Listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, the Dr. William Robinson plantation is a rare example of late 17th century frame construction, notable for its chamfered and carved summer beam, rubble stone foundation and massive fireplace foundation in the cellar, steeply pitched roof, crenellated chimney, diamond-paneled casement windows and broad overhanging corner pendants.
Built circa 1690 on the 700 acre farm of Dr. William Robinson, one of the first known physicians in the area, who emigrated here from Scotland with his family.
A circa 1957 addition on the back contains modern utilities and the house was occupied as a residence until 1973. There have been a total of five families that occupied the house since 1690.
The township acquired the structure in 1973 and it was restored by the local historical society during 1973 -1980 and opened to the public in 1978
The Hyatt Hills Golf Course promises to be an enjoyable test for all calibers of players. Ample teeing areas will allow for multiple tee markers giving the course yardage flexibility from 3,350 to 2,625 yards. Players with high handicaps should not be overly challenged; while better players will find the need for strategy and skill to earn a low score. There is a good mix of holes. Hole Nos. 6, 7, and 8, each of which has the large pond coming into play, will become the course's "amen corner".
The course has been built to high contemporary standards. It has bentgrass tees, greens, and fairways, together with bluegrass/fescue roughs. All play areas will be irrigated by a very sophisticated sprinkler system.
