ESSEX FELLS COUNTRY CLUB · SINCE 1896

A place to belong

In 1896, a small group of Essex Fells golf enthusiasts, led by Charles Leaycraft and Ross Weir, 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. The new layout spurred enthusiasm and generated momentum enabling the Club to grow to 22 members when it decided to formally incorporate as the Essex Fells Golf Club on July 24, 1900. 

The Clubhouse

Our renovated clubhouse overlooks the course, with places to dine, gather and enjoy the view.

THE SPIRIT OF ESSEX FELLS

“Under this roof you need no formal introduction. Speak to others as you would have them speak to you, and do it first.”
