Rock Spring Golf Club in West Orange is one of only two public courses in the United States designed by Seth Raynor. The club was founded in 1925, with Raynor designing the course and Charles Banks completing construction after Raynor's death; the layout carries their trademark template holes and creative green complexes across a rolling, tree-lined site along the first mountain ridge. Long the private Rock Spring Club and later owned by Montclair Golf Club, it was purchased by the Township of West Orange in 2019 and opened to the public that May under KemperSports management. The par-71 course plays about 6,600 yards and has hosted the New Jersey State Open four times, most recently in 2009. The clubhouse looks out over Cable Lake toward the Manhattan skyline.
