Special Club Features

Baltusrol Golf Club, synonymous with championship golf, sits on 500+ acres, at the base of Baltusrol Mountain in northern New Jersey, only a stone's throw from New York City. With a rich heritage that dates back to 1895, Baltusrol is considered one of the country's premier golf clubs. Its two championship courses, the Lower and Upper, have played distinguished roles on the national stage since their creation by Golden Age architect A.W. Tillinghast. Together, the courses have hosted 17 major championships, including seven U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships.

Golf has been played on Baltusrol grounds for twelve decades. First on a rudimentary nine-hole course, then on the “Old Course” of 1895, and now on the Lower and Upper Courses, designed and built by A.W. Tillinghast between 1918 and 1922.

Today, both the Lower and Upper are ranked in the Top 100 Courses in America by all three major golf publications, Golf Digest, Golfweek and Golf Magazine.

Club is open 6 days per week, 12 months per year.
