The club was founded in 1965. The club is comprised of three 18 hole courses (River, Forest, and Meadow) each with a par of 72. The country club sits on what was previously a farm and the original farmhouse is now used as the clubhouse.

The Rattlesnake Bridge Road entrance to the clubhouse is adjacent to Interstate Route 78, Exit 26.

The club is frequented by many famous people including Steven Van Zandt and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman. Former President Ronald Reagan used to frequent the club, as well as many other top executives. Many Fortune 500 companies have memberships at the club. Raymond J.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur has been known to visit the club, as well as New York Giants' linebacker Michael Strahan.
