The Norwood Country Club was one of the most exclusive clubs at the Jersey Shore. It boasted an 18 hole golf course, two polo fields, tennis house and courts, golf shop and club house, which were all in the English Tudor style. Polo matches were arranged with other clubs in the area such as Suneagles.
The golf course was designed by the famous architect, A.W. Tillinghast, better known as “Tillie”. He designed hundreds of courses in his career including Winged Foot and Bethpage. George L. Fotheringham was the head golf pro and John W. Showler was the assistant golf pro. In those days, the head pro was older and ran the golf shop. The assistant gave lessons, repaired golf clubs and played in all the pro golf tournaments with funding from the club. In 1922, Norwood was awarded the N.J. amateur beating out several well known clubs that were competing for the honor. |
