Hackensack Golf Club

Overview: Hackensack Golf Club is a private Bergen County course in Oradell, New Jersey, with a classic parkland setting and a strong collection of template-style holes. The layout combines mature trees, strategic bunkering and shaped green complexes, and plays to roughly 6,934 yards and par 72 from the back tees.

History: The present course is associated with Charles Banks and dates to the 1920s, while the club itself has older roots. Later restoration work by Steve Weisser and Rees Jones has focused on recovering the intended strategic lines and reducing vegetation that had obscured the original design.

Did You Know? The course includes recognizable examples of the Redan, Biarritz and punchbowl concepts. Those holes make Hackensack a useful New Jersey study in how classic design templates can remain playable within a modern private club.
