Club History

Click on each heading below to learn more about out Club's unique history.

1890 - 1899
- 1890 – Mr. Peck, owner of the land along Hamburg Turnpike that eventually becomes the North Jersey Country Club course, lays out a few holes on his own property.
  
  1892 – Engineer Henry Hewat, a golf enthusiast, arrives from Scotland via Kingston, Ontario to study boiler making at the Cooke Locomotive Works in Paterson. He begins to tell Charles D. Cooke about the game of “golf.” Together, they trudge up to the top of Broadway Hill with a single club and ball. Cooke, a former baseball player at Brown University, takes a mighty cut that sends the ball toward an imaginary green 180 yards away. They spend the next half hour looking for the ball but Cooke is hooked. He says, “Henry, this is a Hell of a game.”
  
  1894 – Hewat, Cooke and others, including future New Jersey governor and U.S. Attorney General John W. Griggs, meet at the Hamilton Club in Paterson to organize the Paterson Golf Club. They choose a wedge-shaped piece of land, owned by textile magnate Colonel William Barbour and his family at Broadway Hill near the Passaic River. Hewat and Sam Watson lay out a nine-hole course with the fourth and seventh holes sharing the same green.
  
  1895 – The Paterson Golf Club officially opens as the first in New Jersey and the fourth to join the fledgling United States Golf Association as an “allied” member after the founding five. Dues are set at $2 annually. Common field grasses comprise the fairways and the playing conditions force a local rule: “a ball may be lifted without penalty to get around a ball game or a herd of cows.” John McCleary, an operator on the local street railway system, is hired as greenskeeper and Hewat passes the hat to pay his $10 weekly salary. George E. Armstrong wins the first club championship with a score of 92 and Adrian Larkin sets the 18-hole course record with an 86.
  
  1896 – During a match with Griggs and Colonel William Barbour, Samuel Allen, who would win the club championship the next year, is annoyed when Barbour floats the idea of nominating member Garrett G. Hobart for Vice President at the upcoming Republican National Convention. Hobart will be voted into office in November on William McKinley’s ticket. Members begin wearing red coats trimmed with green collars and cuffs – the club colors – adorned with gold buttons bearing the insignia “NJCC.”
  
  1897 – The club leaves its original grounds after expanding to over 200 members and leases property from the Barbour estate across the Passaic River at Warren Point in East Paterson. Hewat lays out an 18-hole course on either side of Broadway and a curling pond is dug. The Paterson Golf Club is renamed and incorporated as the North Jersey Country Club and becomes a founding member of the Metropolitan Golf Association. Hobart is elected president. Scotsman Tim Harley becomes the professional. A skilled club maker, he is averse to giving lessons, particularly to women.
  
  1899 – Archibald Graham wins the first of his 12 club championships. North Jersey is among the 23 founding clubs of the Women’s Metropolitan Golf Association. Hobart dies in office in November at his home in Paterson.
1900 - 1909
- 1900 – NJCC is one of the 10 founding members of the New Jersey State Golf Association. Graham wins the inaugural New Jersey State Amateur Championship, 5-and-3, over James Tyng of Baltusrol in the 36-hole final match at Essex County Country Club.

  1902 – Thieves raid the stock of wine and cigars stored at the Warren Point clubhouse.

  1904 – Willie Smith, 1899 U.S. Open champion, takes over as head professional. Smith’s record 11-shot win at the Baltimore Country Club wasn’t surpassed until Tiger Woods’ 15-shot win in 2000.
  
  1905 – NJCC hosts the New Jersey Amateur where Graham, the pre-tournament favorite, is eliminated in the second round by former Major League ballplayer and eventual Hall of Famer John Montgomery Ward. Ward goes on to defeat W.M. Sinclair, 5-and-3, in the final match.
  
  1906 – Club professional David Ogilvie breaks Willie Smith’s course record of 67 with a 66. Graham wins the New Jersey State Amateur for the second time at Morris County Golf Club, defeating Joseph Sherman of Westfield, 5-and-3, in the final.
  
  1907 – Graham reaches the finals of the U.S. Amateur, where he loses to four-time champion Jerry Travers, 6-and-5. Graham defeats Oakmont’s W.C. Fownes, the 1910 U.S. Open champ, 4-and-3, in the semifinal round.

After considering several sites, including the future grounds of Preakness Hills Country Club, NJCC completes the $25,000 purchase of the 327-acre Greenbrook Farm in Wayne, inured to stories of an old haunted hotel on the property. On Nov. 11, Dr. Joseph H. Kenna, chairman of the Construction of the Golf Course Committee, wields an ax to begin the removal of 30,000 trees. Three hundred workers, mostly college students, complete the work. Walter Travis is contracted to design “a championship course in every detail” and Clifford Wendehack the clubhouse.

Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood defeat Johnny Farrell and O’Connor in a 36-hole exhibition match.

The lobby and loggia are finished in rough mat plaster tinted in Pogany blue at the base blended to golden yellow on the ceiling.

Amid construction debris and in inclement weather, NJCC opens its new 6.346-yard course on July 30. President Richard R. Chiswell strikes the ceremonial first shot. Former U.S. Open champ Jerry Travers highlights the opening day field. When completed, the costs exceed $500,000, financed by bonds, certificates and a $225,000 mortgage. J.J. Mitchell, formerly of The Country Club at Brookline, is brought on as greenskeeper. The clubhouse is officially opened in December with sports columnist Grantland Rice in attendance. The club sells its former property in East Paterson for $135,000 to a group of NJCC members that will rename it Elmwood Country Club.
  
  1924 – Facing a lack of water on the property, the club constructs a dam to form a reservoir on the northerly side of the track, providing 4,500,000 gallons of waiter. Additionally, a well is sunk 236 feet below the main entrance of the clubhouse. Poor playing conditions are improved when members are given small bags and pledged to pick up 100 stones each round.

  1928 – Golden closes with rounds of 67 and 68 to win his second straight New Jersey State Open at White Beeches by nine shots. His winning total of 276 was said to be one of the lowest four-round totals then yet recorded in American championship golf. Interest in hockey soars and a separate rink is constructed for the NJCC team.
  
  1929 – Golden opens with rounds of 66 and 68 and makes it three straight state titles, winning by eight shots at Elmwood Country Club, the old NJCC grounds in East Paterson.
