Baltusrol Plans New 140 Acre Golf Course Expansion
Baltusrol Fall Club members voted to buy about 140 acres adjoining the present site to create two new 18 hole courses of equal merit. Louis Keller will finance the $140,098 purchase with a five year mortgage at five percent, with partial cash and annual payments. The east course will use nine existing lower holes and nine new greens on a 65 acre plot, while the south course will combine the hillside holes with seventy acres of rolling land. Construction is unlikely until wartime conditions improve.
