Canoe Brook Country Club is a private, member-owned 36-hole country club founded in 1901 and located in theNew Jersey towns ofSummit andShort Hills. Both of Canoe Brook's courses have been extensively renovated byRees Jones, whom the club credits as its designer.
Canoe Brook's original course was designed byJack Vickery and his assistantAlex Smith. The first nine holes opened for play in 1902; the second nine in 1905. In 1916, Canoe Brook hiredWalter Travis to overhaul and extend the original course under the supervision ofIsaac Mackie, whom the club had the previous January appointed Head Professional to replace former French championLouis Tellier.[1] The Travis design lengthened what would become known as Canoe Brook's North Course to 6,611 yards from the Championship tees. In 1920,Harry Colt,Charles Hugh Alison, andAlister MacKenzie were hired to design an additional 18-hole course south ofMorris Turnpike. This property became the Canoe Brook South Course.
In the early 1950s, the North Course was extensively redesigned byRobert Trent Jones after the club accepted an offer byPrudential Insurance to "swap" land to make room for a shopping center that is now known asThe Mall at Short Hills. In the 1960s,Rees Jones redesigned both courses as required by the construction and expansion ofNew Jersey Route 24. He made other changes from 1990 to 2010.[2]
Canoe Brook has hostedUSGA and MGA events. It has been aU.S. Open Sectional Qualifying site on several occasions, including in 2016 to 2018, and hosted the 2013 New Jersey State Amateur in June. The club hosted the 2015Metropolitan Golf Association Ike Championship.
