Local knowledge checking golfer reports…
Shady Rest Country Club in Fanwood is notable as one of the first private golf clubs in the United States established by and for African American members, founded in 1921 during the era of racial segregation that excluded Black golfers from mainstream country clubs. The Union County location in Fanwood Borough reflects the historic presence of established African American communities in the Scotch Plains-Plainfield corridor, where Black professionals built institutions that persisted through the civil rights era and beyond. The club's historical significance extends well beyond its fairways.
