Morris County Golf Club
Nick nominated Morris County Golf Club as a Gem and we added it to our New Jersey pages in November 2010. Nick’s comments are as follows:
“This is a great old school Seth Raynor design. Comprising some of the finest green complexes I have ever putted on, a superb collection of short holes, blind shots, elevation changes and out and out an extremely interesting make up of holes. I feel it would be very worthy of an inclusion in your gems section.”
According to Daniel Wexler’s The American Private Golf Club Guide, Morris County was “founded in 1894 as a women-only club. Morris County hosted the 1896 US Women’s Amateur before being co-opted by the husbands – and hosting the men’s version two years later. The club hired Seth Raynor to build an entirely new course in 1916 which, after years of minor tweaking by lesser architects, was largely restored by Ron Prichard in 2001.”
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
