The New Jersey roots of Adam Sandler's new movie "Happy Gilmore 2" gives a sense of how productions at Netflix Fort Monmouth will boost the Shore.

One of the oldest American golf courses, the Montclair Golf Club in Verona, New Jersey, plays a pivotal role in Happy Gilmore 2’s championship sequences. Going back all the way to 1893, the private club stretches across a 36-hole course and adds some serious professionalism to the film despite its goofy subversion of the game’s rules.

Fans have been elated since the release of Happy Gilmore 2, which dropped Friday on Netflix. Much has been made of the film’s cameos and its numerous New Jersey filming locations, not to mention the divided critical response.
