A meeting was held in Manhattan on October 25, 1895, at which the Baltusrol Golf Club was organized. In 1897, Baltusrol be - came one of the charter members of the MGA. Baltusrol takes its name from the 200-foot mountain that forms the club’s north - west boundary. The moun - tain is named after a wealthy farmer called Baltus Roll, who once lived near where the clubhouse is now lo - cated. The original Baltusrol clubhouse was a converted The original clubhouse farmhouse, and on the night of March 27, 1909, it burned to the ground. Baltusrol’s majestic new English Manor-style clubhouse, built at a cost of $100,000, was ready the next spring, and continues to provide a comfortable second home for the club’s 850 members.
