Cedar Hill Country Club

What Cedar Hill Country Club does

Cedar Hill Country Club is a private, member-owned country club operating since 1921 (originally as Cedar Ridge, renamed in 1945 after World War II) at 100 Walnut Street, Livingston, New Jersey, in affluent Essex County. The club operates an 18-hole golf course measuring 6,310 yards from the back tees with a slope rating of 133, a three-court Har-Tru tennis facility, a multi-depth swimming pool, card rooms, multiple dining venues, and a pro shop. Membership is structured across three tiers — Full Golf, Associate (for members aged 39 and under, with Junior and Golf sub-tiers), and House Social — each requiring sponsorship by an existing member.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership dues, supplemented by a private events business that hosts weddings, Mitzvahs, corporate events, and public golf outings for both members and non-members. The go-to-market is referral-driven, relying on member sponsorship and word-of-mouth within the regional Essex County catchment. The club does not publicly disclose pricing.

Operationally, the club is led by General Manager/COO Weisser Millien, who joined in 2016 and is credited with membership growth of over 50% and significant expansion of event revenue, alongside facility enhancements across golf, tennis, pool, and clubhouse. The management team includes a Director of Membership & Marketing, Clubhouse Manager, Executive Chef (CEC-certified), Head Golf Professional (PGA, with multiple NJPGA awards, in role since 1991), and Golf Course Superintendent (Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School). Cedar Hill is not publicly traded, has no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, and operates as a single-location club with no disclosed subsidiaries, patents, partnerships, or technology platform beyond a MembersFirst-powered website and standard social media presence.
