Our Rich History

1901

As the 20th century dawned, many residents of our region found their thoughts turning to recreational pursuits. And golf was in the air, the brave new sport on the American scene. It already had become a fixture at several nearby clubs in places like Morristown, Plainfield and Springfield.

1907

It is doubtful that Canoe Brook Country Club could be fully understood without at least a partial insight into Carroll P. Bassett. An uninterrupted half century of his life was intertwined with Canoe Brook.

The Highway Expansion

1960

In 1960 the New Jersey Department of Transportation advised Canoe Brook that it would need part of the club�s property to widen Morris Turnpike into the multi-lane super-highway we now know as Route 24. The original Morris Turnpike roughly traveled the path of the eastbound lanes of the present road.
