The Course: Echo Lake CC (Par 71, 7202 Yards)
Founded in 1921 following the merger of the Cranford Golf Club and Westfield Golf Club, Echo Lake Country Club is home to a par-71 Donald Ross design that dates to 1913. Robert White added six holes in 1919, and Willard Wilkinson added three more in 1928. Rees Jones was hired as consulting architect in 2010 and unified the design by creating Ross-inspired bunkers with molded grass faces throughout the 18-hole layout. Located about an hour's drive from New York City, Echo Lake hosted the 1994 USGA Junior Amateur and 2002 USGA Girls' Junior Amateur.
