Montclair in West Orange NJ. has recently been restored. I have read the work is excellent. What are some of the most interesting restored holes on Course 2 and 3?


Thanks

Outstanding effort by designer Brian Schneider and superintendent Michael Campbell.  Fairway mowing lines extended, greens expanded substantially, bunkers repositioned and now more interesting and dramatic.  Everything well done, with particularly dramatic changes to par 3s 2 of 2 and 3 of 3 and major improvements to all the green complexes on both nines - 2 of 3 is a particular standout but rebuilds of 5, 6 and 9 of 3 are very well done.  Tree removal started gradually a decade ago but now 1000s have been removed - I believe there are only 8 (!) trees remaining on the interior of the 2nd nine.  I can't wait for work on the 1st and 4th nines to be completed.
