The Morris County Golf Club, located at 36 Punch Bowl Road, was founded in 1894 in Morristown. On July 4, 1894, the New York Times reported on the Club's opening with much enthusiasm. The Times noted that the Club was the only one in the country organized and managed by women. The Times also reported that many of the Club's members were already familiar with the game as they had played at Newport and Shinnecock. In fact, the Times said, Morristown society was "not to be outdone by Newport and Southhampton in the pursuit of the old Scotch game."
Mr. and Mrs. George Macculloch Miller, grandchildren of George and Louisa Macculloch, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Miller (also grandchildren of the Macculloch's and owners of "The Kedge" the home next door to Macculloch Hall) were listed as members. Miss (Elizabeth) Miller and Miss Edith Miller (both daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George Macculloch Miller) are also listed as members. Mrs. George Macculloch Miller was the former Elizabeth O. Hoffman.
