North Jersey Country Club
The North Jersey Country Club course is an early 1920s Walter Travis design, located in the township of Wayne in Passaic County.
Writing in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak commented as follows: “The membership here seems to be stuck in a dilemma of their own making. The course they have is full of blind shots, and Travis’s wild greens are a good fit for the hilly property, but not with the sensibilities of the younger members. So they’ve been slowly chipping away at the course’s most distinguished features, one hole at a time. About a dozen of Travis’s greens are left; go see it before they tear up any more of them.”
