Marlton, New Jersey, located northeast of Philadelphia, is a small town where a missile base was located during the Cold War. Visitors to this town are close enough to Philadelphia to enjoy all of the city's sights, but can also enjoy staying in a suburban and quiet area. Golfers will enjoy taking a swing at Indian Spring Country Club, an 18-hole public golf course. Although there are no hotels in Marlton proper, there are several well-known chains northwest of the town.
