About this course
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.

Berkshire Valley Golf Course
Oak Ridge, NJ · 21 mi away
Berkshire Valley Golf Course occupies a roughly 600-acre former quarry site in Jefferson Township, New Jersey, on land that once held the ruins of circus owner Alfred Ringling's early-1900s winter headquarters. Contaminated soil and old industrial waste had to be removed from the site before the course could be built. Architect Roger Rulewich designed the layout, which opened to the public in 2004 as the fourth course operated by the Morris County Park Commission. The course runs along the ridge of Green Pond Mountain, with narrow fairways, well-protected greens and notable elevation change on holes such as the par-3 second. Berkshire Valley plays to a par of 71 across 18 holes and stretches to about 6,800 yards from the back tees. It is a public, county-owned facility with a driving range, putting green and clubhouse dining.
