The '''Baltusrol Golf Club''' is a private 36-[[Hole (golf)|hole]] [[Golf club (institution)|golf club]] in the eastern [[United States]], located in [[Springfield Township, Union County, New Jersey|Springfield]], <!--[[Union County, New Jersey|Union County]],-->[[New Jersey]], about {{convert|20|mi|round=5|spell=in}} west of [[New York City]]. It was founded {{Years or months ago|1895}} in 1895 by [[Louis Keller]].

In 1985, Baltusrol became the first club to have hosted both the U.S. Open and Women's U.S. Open on two different courses. Both courses were originally designed by [[A. W. Tillinghast]] in 1918. The club has been the site of seven [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Opens]] and two [[PGA Championship]]s.

In 2005, the club was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nrhpnom">{{cite journal

==History==
Baltusrol Golf Club was named after Baltus Roll (1769–1831), who farmed the land on which the club resides today.<ref name=trlfmgy>{{cite web|url=http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~windmill/html/baltusro.html |title=The Roll Family Genealogy|access-date=July 31, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baltusrol.org/club/scripts/section/section.asp?GRP=9747&NS=PCH |title=The Murder - The Name}}</ref> In 1831, he was murdered at age 61 on February 22 by two thieves who believed that he had hidden a small treasure in his farmhouse on Baltusrol mountain. Two men, Peter B. Davis and Lycidias Baldwin were suspected of the murder. Baldwin fled to a tavern in Morristown where he killed himself with an apparent overdose of narcotics. Davis was apprehended and stood trial in Newark. Despite the overwhelming but circumstantial evidence, much of which the trial judge ruled as inadmissible, Davis was acquitted of murder. He was, however, convicted of forgery and sentenced to 24 years in prison, and later died in [[Trenton State Prison]].

The land was purchased in the 1890s by [[Louis Keller]], who was the [[publisher]] of the [[New York Social Register]]. He owned {{convert|500|acre|km2}} of land in Springfield Township. On October 19, 1895, Keller announced that the Baltusrol Golf Club would open. The club's original 9-hole course was designed by George Hunter in 1895 and expanded to 18 holes in 1898. This course, which is called the Old Course, was further modified by [[George Low Sr.|George Low]] and no longer exists.

Keller hired A. W. Tillinghast to build a second golf course to complement the Old Course. However, Tillinghast recommended that the Old Course be plowed over and he would design and build two new courses. The club approved his design recommendation and commenced construction of the Upper and Lower courses in 1918. In August 1919, ''Golf Illustrated'' declared that "what they are planning at Baltusrol is on a vaster scale than anything that has ever been attempted in American Golf for the opening of the Dual Courses." The Dual Courses, or Upper and Lower, were the first contiguous 36-hole design built in America. Both courses officially opened for play in June 1922. In the years following their opening, refinements were made to prepare these courses for National Championship play. The first national championship held on the Lower was the 1926 U.S. Amateur. The first national championship on the Upper was the U.S. Open in 1936. Tillinghast served as the club's architect until his death in 1942.

In 1948, [[Robert Trent Jones]] was retained to update and lengthen the Lower course for tournament play. The Lower course was lengthened again by his son [[Rees Jones]] in 1992 in preparation for the U.S. Open in [[1993 U.S. Open (golf)|1993]]. He also updated and lengthened the Upper course in advance of the 2000 U.S. Amateur.  On both the Lower and Upper courses, Jones and his senior designer Steve Weisser reinstated and restored various Tillinghast design features which had been lost over the years.  Some famous golfers to win tournaments at Baltusrol include [[Ed Furgol]], [[Mickey Wright]], [[Jack Nicklaus]], [[Lee Janzen]], and [[Phil Mickelson]]. In 1995, ''[[Golf Magazine]]'' recognized Baltusrol as one of "The First 100 Clubs in America."

==Clubhouse==
In March 1909, the original [[Country club|clubhouse]] burned down.<ref>{{cite news|title=BALTUSROL CLUB SWEPT BY FLAMES; Several of Its Buildings Reduced to Ashes in an Early Morning Fire. CHEF INJURED BY A JUMP One Sleepy Member Makes His Escape by a Window, Minus Clothes and $40.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1909/03/28/archives/baltusrol-club-swept-by-flames-several-of-its-buildings-reduced-to.html|date=March 28, 1909|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> That same year, a new clubhouse was quickly designed by Chester Hugh Kirk, a member of the golf club, in a [[Tudor Revival architecture|Tudor revival style]] and construction begun in June.<ref name="nrhpnom"/>

In 1912, it became the first clubhouse to host a [[President of the United States]], [[William Howard Taft]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Strauss|first1=Robert|title=IN PERSON; Join the Club (if They'll Let You in): The State's Golf History|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/18/nyregion/in-person-join-the-club-if-they-ll-let-you-in-the-state-s-golf-history.html|date=June 18, 2000|newspaper=The New York Times}}</ref>

==Tournaments hosted==
In its history, Baltusrol has hosted 15 [[United States Golf Association|USGA]]-sponsored championships and three [[Professional Golfers' Association of America|PGA]]-sponsored Championships. It has hosted the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]] seven times, in 1903, 1915, 1936, 1954, 1967, 1980, and 1993. It has hosted the [[U.S. Amateur]] four times, in 1904, 1926, 1946, and 2000. It has hosted the [[U.S. Women's Open]] twice, in 1961 and 1985, and the [[U.S. Women's Amateur]] twice, in 1901 and 1911. The 2005 PGA Championship was Baltusrol's first time hosting a PGA Championship, and it returned in 2016. The 79th Women's PGA Championship for 2023 and the 111th PGA Championship for 2029 were awarded to Baltusrol in a joint deal.

===Lower Course===
The Lower course from the black tees measures {{convert|7400|yd|0}} and is a par 72, but for the 2005 PGA Championship, the course measured {{convert|7392|yd|m}} and was par 70. From the blue tees, the course measures {{convert|7015|yd}} and is par 72. From the green tees, the course measures 6,652 yards and is par 72. From the white tees, the course measures {{convert|6325|yd}} and is par 72. From the red tees, the course measures {{convert|5539|yd}} and is par 73.
