Summit, New Jersey Hotels

Summit, New Jersey Hotels
Summit, N.J., is on the doorstep of one of golf's grandest stages: Baltusrol Golf Course in Springfield. Golf enthusiasts who are traveling to the area to see a tournament at Baltusrol will be able to find a couple hotels in Summit, about a 10- minute drive to Springfield. The course, which has hosted seven U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship as of 2009, is private so golfers will have to go elsewhere to get their golf fix.
