This club offers both an eighteen hole course and a nine hole course. Donald Ross designed both courses. The Highland Course was constructed on gently rolling terrain, and features small greens and narrow tree-lined fairways. The Main Course has three water hazards. The fairways are narrow, and the greens are large. The club was founded in 1897. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 4th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and 10th best for 1997-98. The Women's U.S. Amateur was held at this club in 1997. The 1919 U.S. Open was also held here and the winner was Walter Hagen. Both courses have been redesigned several times since Donald Ross originally laid out the course in 1912.

The Highland Course was not designed by Donald Ross. Fred Shanahan the course superintendant at the time designed the nine hole course.

Petersham Country Club
"Petersham is first rate"
A lovely course with a lovely membership.
---Golfffffer, Worcester, MA USA
San Jose Country Club
"Delightful Donald Ross Challange"
This private course was designed by Donald Ross to be a resort course in the early twentieth century. It was purchased after World War II by locals and formed into a club known as San Jose Golf and Country Club and has been sucessfully maintained as the private club since. It is the home course to many prominent Jacksonville residents. One must be a member or guest to play. It is a par 72. The greens are all adjacent to the tees, so that it can be walked easily. There are water hazards sprinkled throughout the course, which make it a dangerous layout for errant shots. The moderately fast greens are well maintained Burmuda and are sometimes puzzling with rolling configuration. A mature course--kept in excellent shape year-round.

Redland Country Club
"Open and Forgiving - A Fun Course"
Redland is an open and forgiving course with a friendly atmosphere. The course offers 5639-yard forward tees, 6266-yard middle tees and 6613-yard blue tees. Fairways are flat with some gentle sloping. Minor water challenges and some fairway sand. Greens are bunkered and reasonably true (there is some difficulty with grass on the greens but, all in all, not too bad). Members describe this course as a Club in the Country and the ammenities will bring you back time after time. It's a fun place with a challenging golf potential. You'll like it!
---Bob, Miami, FL USA
Newark Valley Golf Club
"Great Beginner Course"
This is a well maintained course. Beautiful greens and sloping fairways. It is very short, only one par 5 reachable in 2, most the par 4's are only about 300 yards. No sand at all, water and woods are the main hazards. Hit the ball straight and ull be in the 70s
