Upper Montclair Country Club, Private golf club in Clifton, New Jersey.
The Upper Montclair Country Club is a private golf facility with 27 championship holes organized into three nine-hole courses that all lead back to the main clubhouse. Members also have access to swimming pools, tennis courts, and dining facilities on the property.
The club was established in 1901 and underwent a significant redesign in the 1950s when Robert Trent Jones Sr. created the current 27-hole layout. This transformation established the course structure that defines it today.
The club emphasizes family participation with regular youth programs and social events that shape the daily rhythm of the membership. You can see this community focus reflected in the way members use the facilities throughout the year.
Members enjoy unrestricted access to the golf courses without requiring reservations, along with all other club facilities and dining options. Early morning hours tend to be the quietest time for playing, offering a more relaxed experience.
The course gained recognition through appearances in the television series The Sopranos and has hosted professional tournaments including the LPGA Cognizant Founders Cup. These connections to popular media and major competitions have brought the club wider attention.
