The golf course at Somerset Country Club first opened for play in 1920. The course was designed by Seth Raynor. The course was renovated by Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Silva in 1979.
The Somerset Country Club golf course is a very demanding course. The greens are large and difficult to read. The signature hole is #2, a 505-yard, par 5, requiring an uphill tee shot to a narrow landing area guarded by large oak trees, then two more uphill shots to the green. "GOLFWEEK" has frequently ranked this course among its picks of "America's 100 Best Classical Courses."
