1 August 1 st, 2018 PGA Career Services is pleased to notify you about the following employment opportunity Gladstone, New Jersey About the Club: The vision for Hamilton Farm began in 1911, when James Cox Brady decided to create an English country estate in the green fields and woodlands of the Somerset Hills. At its zenith, Brady s estate, bearing his wife s family name, spread across five thousand acres, encompassing pastures, woods, horse trails and formal gardens. A magnificent fifty-stall equestrian stable was the largest and most lavish of its kind at the time of its construction in During World War II, Brady s widow directed the conversion of the stables and carriage house into an emergency hospital and rest center for Merchant Marine seamen, the first such facility constructed in the United States during wartime. The stables were eventually returned to their original purpose and now serve as headquarters for the United States Equestrian Team, which uses Hamilton Farm as its training ground for the Olympic Games. In 1998, Lucent Technologies purchased the property with the concept of developing an ultra-exclusive golf club with eighteen corporate members. Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, nationally known golf course architects, were hired to construct the finest golf facility in the country.

In June of that year, Dennis Townsend, took over and promptly converted the club into a private, invitation only club. The vision of the club remained the same, however.
