Thinking About Living in Canoe Brook Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Canoe Brook Country Club and the surrounding Somerset Hills / Morris County golf market.
Canoe Brook Country Club is a private, member-owned club founded in 1901 that straddles Summit and Short Hills along the Union/Essex county line. Its North Course dates to the club's founding and was significantly reworked by Walter Travis and later Rees Jones; its South Course, designed by Charles H. Alison, opened in 1924. Membership requires a member sponsor plus initiation fee and dues, in the old-guard New Jersey pattern. No residential development is bundled to the club -- it anchors an already-affluent, established Summit/Short Hills residential corridor rather than a purpose-built golf community.
