History

The original 18-hole golf course and a brand new Clubhouse opened in 1928. In 1954 Robert Trent Jones Sr. led major course renovation transforming Upper Montclair Country Club into the present 27-hole Championship design. In 2000 the club hired Roger Rulewich to complete a course renovation project that included installing state of the art drainage and irrigation system, while reshaping and restoring all of the bunkers throughout the 27 hole facility.[3]

Upper Montclair has also appeared in some episodes of The Sopranos.
