Brooklake at Brooklake Country Club

Brooklake Country Club, nestled in the rolling landscape of Florham Park, whispers tales of a bygone era when golf course design emphasized strategic shot-making over sheer length. A product of the early-to-mid 20th century, Brooklake presents a classic parkland layout, where tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens place a premium on thoughtful course management. The bent grass is a testament to the club's enduring commitment to quality. The course doesn't necessarily favor any one type of player but does reward smart angles and accurate approach shots.

Originally designed by architect A.W. Tillinghast, Brooklake bears the hallmarks of his strategic genius. While perhaps not as widely celebrated as some of his more famous creations, Brooklake provides a stern but fair test of golf. Undulating greens protected by strategically placed bunkers demand precision with the short irons and a deft touch on the putting surfaces.

Brooklake has a quiet understated presence in the greater New Jersey golf community. Members tend to be fiercely loyal and deeply connected to the club's unpretentious atmosphere. It is a place where golf tradition is revered, and the camaraderie among its members is palpable. Often, the club is lauded for its exemplary service and the warmth extended to guests - not to mention the club's amazing and beloved crab cakes, a perennial member favorite.
