Both of Canoe Brook's courses have been extensively renovated by Rees Jones, whom the club credits as its designer.
In 1916, Canoe Brook hired Walter Travis to overhaul and extend the original course under the supervision of Isaac Mackie, whom the club had the previous January appointed Head Professional to replace former French champion Louis Tellier.
In 1920, Harry Colt, Charles Hugh Alison, and Alister MacKenzie were hired to design an additional 18-hole course south of Morris Turnpike.
In the early 1950s, the North Course was extensively redesigned by Robert Trent Jones after the club accepted an offer by Prudential Insurance to "swap" land to make room for a shopping center that is now known as The Mall at Short Hills.
It has been a U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying site on several occasions, including in 2016 to 2018, and hosted the 2013 New Jersey State Amateur in June.
