Englewood Golf Club, Private golf course in Englewood, New Jersey, United States
The Englewood Golf Club was a private facility spanning Englewood and Leonia with an 18-hole course and clubhouse. The layout allowed golfers to play across two municipalities while accessing all amenities in one location.
The club opened in 1896 with nine holes and expanded to 18 by 1900. It gained national importance by hosting major championships in 1906 and 1909.
The club stood out by welcoming both male and female members from the start, a progressive stance for the 1890s. This openness shaped its reputation as a forward-thinking place in the golf world.
Be aware the club was a private facility that closed in 1977 and is no longer operating. Today the grounds are not accessible for golf and no public access is offered.
During the 1909 U.S. Open held here, golfers achieved a first when someone broke 70 in competitive play. This milestone marked a turning point in how the game was played and understood.
