About Rumson Country Club

Barker created one of New Jersey's most secluded waterfront experiences, where high tide affects the strategy on three holes. The club's location on the Navesink River provides natural boundaries that have protected it from development pressures that transformed neighboring shoreline. Member boats dock directly behind the 18th green, and the river's tidal flow creates wind patterns that shift club selection throughout each round.
