The property originated as the Lambert Farm, which featured meadows, woods, and a serene lake. Founder Robert W. Nelson discovered the site in 1908 when he stepped off a train at Westfield Station seeking a home with a lake. He purchased the former flour and cider mill property and renovated the old farmhouse, building a new concrete dam to expand the lake. A friend, Wadsworth A. Parker, suggested the land was ideal for a golf course. Nelson named the club Shackamaxon, meaning "a place where chiefs meet," to honor the Native Americans who once inhabited the region.

The club features a challenging golf course designed by Albert W. Tillinghast, which includes Tillinghast's first ever island green. The venue has hosted major tournaments including two NJ Opens, the NJ Amateur, and the Met Open within a seven-year period. It also celebrated its centennial with the Centennial Invitational and the NJ State Senior Amateur Championship. The facility includes a resort-style pool complex with an adult pool featuring waterfalls, in-pool loungers, a swim-up bar, and a pod spa. The club is part of the Heritage Golf Group portfolio.
