About: The Shady Rest Golf and Country Club in Scotch Plains has local, state, and national significance as the first African American owned and operated country club in the United States. It has added significance as the home course of the first African American golf professional to play in a U.S. Open, John Matthew Shippen (1879-1968).
In 2008, Shady Rest was listed to Preservation New Jersey’s 10 Most Endangered sites list due to the threat of demolition facing the site.
