Canoe Brook Country Club dates back to 1901, when its 18-hole North course was unveiled. The South course, designed by C.H. Alison, followed in 1924.
Both layouts have been significantly altered down the years. Paul Rudovsky picks up the North course’s story:
“The club was founded in 1901, expanding from 9 to 18 holes shortly thereafter. It underwent a major revision in 1916 under the architectural direction of Walter Travis. Around 1950, the club completed a major land swap with Prudential Insurance that resulted in a relocation of seven North course holes, and the eventual building of the Short Hills Mall on the land that ended up in Prudential’s hands – the renovation was guided by Alfred Tull. In the 1960s and early 1970s, a major expansion of Route 24 resulted in a loss of land affecting both courses and Robert Trent Jones was brought in to oversee the changes – 20 years later his son Rees Jones oversaw a set of new changes.”
The 1983 U.S. Women’s Amateur was held on the North Course when Joanne Pacillo beat Sally Quinlan 2 & 1 in the final.
