Crestmont Country Club
About Crestmont Country Club
Crestmont Country Club occupies roughly 300 acres in Essex County, New Jersey, set apart from the surrounding urban area in West Orange.
The 18-hole course measures 6,886 yards from the back tees and forms the centerpiece of the club. Donald J. Ross designed the layout in 1922, and a recent restoration returned the classic routing closer to its original form. The grounds feature green fairways and rolling, undulating greens, and the course plays as a test for strong players while multiple sets of tees on every hole make it manageable for a range of abilities.
