Hendricks Field, originally Branch Brook, is a municipal golf course located in Belleville off the Garden State Expressway at Belleville Avenue to the east. It’s located 18 miles west of Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel and onto Route 3.

The layout is a classic from the early 1900s featuring some unique Scottish design elements including the Principal’s Nose bunkers, a Biarritz green, a reverse Redan, and a par 3 almost completely surrounded by bunkers. There’s a stream impacting play on several holes, a host of sand bunkers both defending the landing zones as well as the green complexes, and narrow tree lined fairway corridors.There’s five sets of tees from 4,549 yards to 6,150 yards off the tips, 69.2/123, course/slope ratings, originally designed by Charles “Steam Shovel” Banks with a redesign by Stephen Kay. Banks was a protege of Seth Raynor, who was originally designated to build this course He was given the steam shovel moniker for the prodigious amount of soils he moved using steam shovels to build golf courses.
