History The original 18-hole golf course and a new clubhouse opened in 1928. In the 1950s, Robert Trent Jones Sr. led a major course renovation, transforming Upper Montclair Country Club into the present 27-hole championship design. 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.
Upper Montclair has appeared in episodes of The Sopranos.
