a priority at Saint Andrew's and, with golf's recent growth, has never been
more important. Members are proud to wear the Red Jacket and offer a spirited

Knickerbocker
Country Club
188 Knickerbocker Road
Tenafly, NJ 07670
Knickerbocker Country Club is among a small group of local courses whose design is credited to legendary architect Donald J. Ross. Ross's work can be found along the East Coast from Rhode Island to Florida, and more national championships have been played on Ross-designed courses than any other.
Strategy and deceptive simplicity are at the core of Ross's work. Signature design features include putting surfaces that blend smoothly into the approaching fairway, thoughtful and efficient course routing that utilizes natural land contours, cross bunkers to capture the topped shot or create an illusion of distance, and greens that are especially difficult when played from above the hole.
Knickerbocker is a typical Ross design in another important way...it is a pleasure to play. The better golfer will find it a challenge to shoot a low score, while the average player will enjoy the fair, straight-forward style of golf of which Ross is a master.
