The SBCC course was formally opened for play July 4, 1922. Membership dues were established at $60 annually; $25 for Associate Members. William J. Glancey, who assisted in the construction of the course, was hired as Spring Brook’s first Professional at $75 a month. He was then given the added job of green keeper for an additional $50 a month and was authorized to hire a caddie master at $30 a month. Carl V. Vogt, an attorney, was elected the Club’s first President. SBCC originally had 50 charter members, including Charles Horsefield who, in 1951, was the last of the founders to die. Plans and specifications for a clubhouse were approved March 13, 1922 and included construction, landscaping and a cesspool. Two tennis courts and trap shooting pits were also authorized and were installed in a field to the left of the 18th green.

This season, the Pinehurst Championship will be played across 2 days on 2 different courses. Day 1 will be hosted by Martha Sword and Jessica Koehler at the classic Bedens Brook Club. Bedens Brook is a Dick Wilson design on a rolling landscape with natural water hazards and classic greens. Each nine holes offers a different view and strategy with the front nine offering open rolling fairways and the back nine a challenge through the woods. Both nines offer classic Dick Wilson signature bunkers. Day 2 will be hosted by Susan Sardi and Kathy Rosenberg at the challenging Cherry Valley Country Club. Playing a round at Cherry Valley reveals the seamless blend of landscape and design philosophy by native New Jerseyan Rees Jones. This course, not only challenging but visually stunning, embodies Jones's commitment to working with the natural contours of the land. Rolling hills and captivating woodlands frame each hole, showcasing a harmonious integration that respects both the environment and player enjoyment. From strategically placed bunkers to well-contoured greens, Cherry Valley offers a uniquely engaging experience, combining thoughtful shot selection with aesthetic pleasures. Playing here is more than golf; it's a journey through time, a testament to Rees Jones's incredible designs, and an unforgettable experience that resonates long after the final round.
