| Abstract/Contents: | "The story of Shady Rest begins at the Westfield Country Club, which was established in 1900. The course featured a nine-hole layout north of the Westfield train line in Scotch Plains, N. J. On either side of the club was an African-American community of small homes. The residents cut across the course to get to the train line or to socialize....Shady Rest became an important social and economic institution in the New York metropolitan area." Shady Rest was known to be the first African-American golf club in the United States. |
