The Old Tappan Golf Course first opened for play in 1969. The course was designed by Hal Purdy and built under the purview of the Old Tappan Recreation Commission. With over 40 years of continuous operation, the club has evolved into a beautifully conditioned course that welcomes not only resident members, but also draws golfers from many towns, both in New Jersey and New York.
Old Tappan Golf Course course has tight fairways and fast greens. There are two ponds that come into play on four holes. The signature hole is #6, a par 3, requiring a tee shot over a pond to an elevated green.
Old Tappen plays to a par 35. tees are set at Blue - 3,076 yards, White - 2,961yards, and Red - 2,547 yards.
