Upper Montclair Country Club is an A. W. Tillinghast-designed golf course located in Clifton, New Jersey.

History

The original 18-hole golf course and a new clubhouse opened in 1928.[3] In the 1950s, Robert Trent Jones Sr. led a major course renovation, transforming Upper Montclair Country Club into the present 27-hole championship design.[4] In 2000, the club hired Roger Rulewich to complete a course renovation project that included installing state-of-the-art drainage and irrigation system, while reshaping and restoring all of the bunkers throughout the 27-hole facility.[5]

Upper Montclair has appeared in episodes of The Sopranos.[6]
