Echo Lake Country Club is a private, member-owned country club located in Westfield, New Jersey. The club was founded in 1899 and the golf course was designed by Donald Ross in 1913.
History
The club was originally founded as the Cranford Golf Club in 1899 and a 9-hole golf course was designed by Willie Dunn in Cranford, NJ. In 1912, the club purchased the Harper Farm in Westfield, NJ and engaged Donald Ross to design the current course which was completed in 1913. The clubhouse was built on a high bluff overlooking Echo Lake. [1]
In 1921, The Cranford Golf Club and the Westfield Golf Club merged, choosing the name Echo Lake Country Club to reflect both the site and the broad country club activities offered.
