Upper Montclair Country Club (South & West)
A.W. Tillinghast set out the original 18-hole course at Upper Montclair Country Club in the 1920s then Robert Trent Jones completely renovated the layout three decades later in 1956, adding another nine holes (the South) in the process.
The three 9-hole loops (East, South and West) are similar in style, but if you want to play the layout walked by Hall of Famers (such as Arnold Palmer, Nancy Lopez and Lee Trevino) who've all won titles at UMCC, you'll need to tee it up on the West and South combination.
