Private New Jersey

History

Opened in 2002, The Ridge at Back Brook is one of New Jersey’s premier private golf clubs. Located in Ringoes, New Jersey, the club sits on more than 300 scenic acres of rolling hills, forests, and natural rock formations. Owner Joel Moore envisioned a golf-only club that would deliver an exceptional member experience without residential development or unnecessary distractions. Today, this private golf club is known for its championship course, outstanding conditions, and personalized service.

A Championship Vision

Joel Moore dreamed of creating an exclusive golf club after imagining the idea one morning. He partnered with renowned architect Tom Fazio to bring that vision to life. Together, they transformed the property’s natural landscape into one of the Northeast’s premier golf destinations.

Construction began in 1999. Fazio explored numerous routing options before selecting the design that best showcased the land’s dramatic elevation changes, streams, mature trees, and striking red rock formations. The club welcomed its first members when it officially opened in 2002.

The championship layout rewards thoughtful course management instead of raw distance. Multiple tee boxes allow golfers of every skill level to enjoy the course. The club also offers a 20-acre practice facility, exceptional practice greens, and professional instruction.

A Legacy of Championship Golf

Today, The Ridge at Back Brook ranks among New Jersey’s top private golf clubs. The club has hosted major competitions, including the New Jersey State Open. Members also enjoy outstanding practice facilities, first-class service, and immaculate course conditions throughout the season.

Whether members compete in tournaments, practice their short game, or enjoy a relaxing round with friends, they experience the vision that inspired the club more than two decades ago. Above all, The Ridge at Back Brook remains one of the Northeast’s premier private golf clubs, offering championship golf, breathtaking scenery, and an unforgettable member experience.

As a proud Golf Association of Philadelphia (GAP) Member Club, The Ridge at Back Brook continues to play an important role in championship golf throughout the region.
