Essex Fells Country Club is a private club established in 1896.  At that time, a small group of Essex Fells golf enthusiasts joined together to play a rough layout of nine holes along Roseland Avenue.  Soon they tired of the rudimentary course and hired Alex Findlay to design a new course of nine holes that stretched to 1,810 yards. In the 1920’s, renowned golf course architect Seth Raynor was hired to design a major renovation and re-routing of the course.  It was stretched to 6,144 yards and the holes that crossed Devon Road were eliminated.  Once completed, this “new” eighteen blossomed into the golf course Essex Fells Members recognize today. The club now includes a par 70 eighteen hole golf course that plays 6,551 yards from the championship tees , driving range and short game facility, tennis courts, paddle facility, and pool. The club and its members are highly dedicated to elevating the brand which is evident in their most recent course renovations under the direction of architect Steve Weisser and The Rees Jones Inc.
