JUMPING BROOK COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling terrain of coastal New Jersey creates natural elevation changes that architect Alfred Tull exploited brilliantly in this 1928 design, where strategic bunkering and mature tree lines demand precision over power. The par-4 14th epitomizes the layout's character—a dogleg right that tempts longer hitters to bite off more fairway than they can chew, with towering oaks punishing the greedy. Members rave about the subtle green complexes that reward intimate course knowledge, making this a thinking player's paradise where local knowledge trumps pure athleticism.
