Hackensack Golf Club

Hackensack Golf Club dates back to 1899 but the course in play today isn’t quite that old. Designed by Seth Raynor and built by his construction associate Charles Banks, it was brought into play in 1928, two years after the architect passed away.

Featuring Raynor trademark replica holes such as Redan, Short and Biarritz, the layout has been overhauled by Rees Jones in more recent times, starting in 2007 when the original plans were found in the basement of the clubhouse.

Over the following six years, Steve Weisser from Rees Jones, Inc. worked on restoring design features, adding one or two that were planned but never actually constructed, like the enormous bunker that now runs for 150 yards along the side of the 11th, nearly eight feet below the level of the fairway.
