Somerset Hills is not just "another" fantastic A.W. Tillinghast design. This golf course is one of the rare gems that hasn't really changed since it first opened in 1918. In fact, it might just be the most authentic Tillinghast course you'll find on the list of the 100 Greatest. This course has a picturesque and relaxed layout that weaves its way through untouched, rolling terrain. You'll spot some rock formations and encounter some small butôdistinct water features along the way. Tillinghast added a touch of playfulness to the design, with unique "dolomite" mounds bordering one green and surprising little knobs on another putting surface. And just like Baltusrol Upper, Somerset Hills features one of Tillinghast's take on a Redan-style par 3 hole.
We're incredibly excited to take you "Inside the Gates" at this New Jersey hidden gem golf course. We're honored to be the first KZreadrs to ever be granted the permission to film within the walls of Somerset Hills Country Club, and we hope you enjoy watching this one!

    Gentlemen , You know I have been supporting you since the beginning. And this just shows how far you gents have come in terms of quality, style, but more importantly how the golf courses now respect you and believe in what you are doing for the game. You are allowed to now play some of the most amazing courses in the world. Including pine valley which is awesome. I am proud of you both for how far you have come , but more proud of you both for what you are showing and doing for the game of golf. Congrats on being allowed to film here and many other exclusive courses that many players won’t ever be able to experience in person. But now we can experience the courses with you guys…which I love. Great work gents. Proud of you both Jay

    Beautiful course ,of course. My local course is just as challenging, well kept and beautiful, here in Forres, Moray, Scotland. Membership is £650 per year. Hate to think that Somerset Hills might be about 10 times our membership fee or more. Walking along the Moray coast it is one course after another. We are blessed here by access to great courses without the high cost. Come for a visit some year. Our Speyside whisky is pretty damn good as well.

Each step has been a joyful surprise! As some others have stated...your content has gotten better and better as you progressed...I'm befuddled that you don't have 1M+ subscribers! I'm pretty sure...if you decide to do a part 2 of this series [the clubs who said no in round 1], once they see the content...I'd say it'd be a good bet that most, if not all will relent and want to be part of this amazing series...I'm not a video guy...but I do know quality when I see it! So glad I've been a subscriber...Keep up the Great work on ALL your projects! 😂 🎉 ❤ Thank you!
