Course Details

A.W. Tillinghast began designing the Upper and Lower Courses at Baltusrol in 1919, replacing the club’s original 18 holes. This project marked the first time in America that two 18-hole courses were built simultaneously. It was the Upper Course, not the Lower, that hosted the club’s first U.S. Open (and the third in Baltusrol’s history) in 1936, with Tony Manero emerging as the champion. Baltusrol Mountain, though only 200 feet tall, rises on the right side of the Upper Course, influencing both drives and putts with its sloping terrain, which is steeper than it appears. In late 2023, Gil Hanse and his team began renovations on the Upper Course, continuing the restoration work they had started on the Lower.
