[edit] History
The club was formed in 1916 by a group of businessmen who had acquired the land a year earlier from a smaller, financially strained club. Renown golf course designer A. W. Tillinghast was brought in to redesign the seven existing holes and construct 11 new ones.[1] The course was completed in 1918 and the Tudor-styled clubhouse was built in 1923. In 1925, the purchase of additional property prompted the club to recommission Tillinghast to incorporate the new land into the existing course. The course has remained relatively unchanged since its construction. A few outdated bunkers were replaced in 1965. Between 1991 and 1993 all the bunkers were restored and several tees were added.
Quaker Ridge has hosted a number of tournaments including two Metropolitan Amateurs, three Metropolitan Opens and two Metropolitan PGA Championships.[1]
In 2008, Golf Digest rated Quaker Ridge the 30th best course in the United States.[2] The course was also ranked 64th in the world in 2007 by Golf Magazine. [1]
