Basking Ridge Country Club presents a modern interpretation of classic golf amidst the rolling hills of Somerset County. This 2001 design, sculpted by Steve Smyers and Craig Yates, moves across a pastoral landscape that offers both generous fairways and subtly contoured greens, favoring players who can shape the ball off the tee and approach with creativity. A traditional layout without a traditional feel. While Basking Ridge has yet to host a major championship, its commitment to club tournaments and member events fosters a vibrant competitive spirit. The club distinguishes itself with a family-friendly environment, which is more casual than rigid and formal. Many of its members are active or retired law enforcement or first responders, making the club a particularly cohesive and friendly community. Known for its unpretentious atmosphere and consistently well-maintained conditions, Basking Ridge offers an enjoyable test of golf that balances challenge and playability. A popular spot after a round is the club's bar, where tales of near misses and clutch putts mingle with the laughter of its members.
