Spring Brook Country Club

Spring Brook Country Club was founded on June 6, 1921 by a group of Morristown business and professional men and constructed on approximately 160 acres of land leased from Robert D. Foote, President of the National Iron Bank. In 2008, Spring Brook Country Club was added to the list of Walter J. Travis designed courses by The Travis Society (the recognized authority on Walter Travis).
The course was formally opened for play July 4, 1922. Plans and specifications for the
clubhouse were approved March 13, 1922. Two tennis courts and trap shooting pits were also
authorized, and were installed in a field to the left of the 18th green.
The original clubhouse opened September 27, 1922. Robert Foote and his family contributed
much of the original furnishings to the clubhouse. Foote had the entrance road to the clubhouse
installed and he was responsible for having the township re-construct and maintain Old Brick
Road (which is now Spring Brook Road). In December 1996, under a heavy snow blizzard, the
original clubhouse collapsed. The new clubhouse opened on November 29, 1998.
The magnificent 18 hole course features “The Gauntlet” Spring Brook’s three consecutive par
3’s around the picturesque Armstrong Pond. This challenging threesome has been the topic of many Grill Room conversations, following a round of golf, and has been the determining factor in the outcome of numerous tournaments.
