Montammy Golf Club occupies one of the most coveted addresses in American golf — Alpine, a small, extraordinarily affluent borough perched on the Palisades in Bergen County, New Jersey. The club has long been regarded as one of the most exclusive private clubs in the greater New York metropolitan area, drawing a membership that reflects the rarefied character of the surrounding community. It is not a place that courts attention, which is part of what defines it.
The course sits within the rugged, wooded terrain of the Palisades ridge, where elevation changes and mature hardwood forests create a setting that feels removed from the density of the region — even though Manhattan is visible on a clear day and sits just across the Hudson. That geographic tension, between urban proximity and genuine seclusion, gives Montammy a quality that few courses near a major city can claim.
For a certain kind of golfer, simply securing access to play here is the story. The course itself, a full par-72 layout, is maintained to the exacting standards its membership expects and the setting demands.
