The Second Nine at Montclair Golf Club represents Tom Bendelow's contribution to this historic northern New Jersey club, which dates to 1893 and stands among the oldest golf clubs in continuous operation in the United States. Bendelow, a prolific architect who designed hundreds of courses in the early twentieth century, created this nine-hole layout to complement the club's original course. The Second Nine serves as an additional playing option for members and provides variety in routing and hole selection at the facility. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Watchung Mountains foothills in West Orange, with elevation changes and mature tree-lined fairways that define the playing corridors. Bendelow's design philosophy typically emphasized strategic bunkering and greens that rewarded accurate approach play, traits that appear in his work at Montclair. The nine holes allow for different combinations with the club's other layouts, giving members flexibility in their rounds. Montclair Golf Club maintains a traditional private club atmosphere, with a membership that has supported the game in New Jersey for well over a century. The club's setting in the Oranges, within view of the New York metropolitan area, places it among the cluster of early American golf establishments that helped establish the sport's foothold in the northeastern United States. The Second Nine continues to serve its intended purpose as a valued component of the club's overall golfing offerings.
