Opening Day – Mountain Ridge CC – May 8, 2025

Originally located in West Orange, opening in 1912, Mountain Ridge was moved to its current site in West Caldwell in 1929 after the original site was deemed too hilly. Donald Ross designed the layout which features two 9 hole loops, both of which return to the elevated clubhouse.While the fairways are generously proportioned and the greens will generally accept a running shot into them, the course is deceptively difficult. The greens themselves have subtle tilts and distinct ridges, always affected by the downhill incline to the west. The green surrounds create delicate challenges for any approach that has missed the target, and a recent restoration has brought many of Ross’s characteristic run-off areas back to their original closely-mown state.
