Cruz Farm Golf Club


About this course
Cruz Farm Golf Club sits in Farmingdale, New Jersey, a course designed and built by Evaristo Cruz. The facility represents a family operation where Cruz, drawing on his background in landscape construction and golf course maintenance, created a layout on former agricultural land in Monmouth County. The course reflects the practical, accessible approach common to many family-owned New Jersey golf properties that emerged in the late twentieth century. The routing works across gently rolling terrain characteristic of central New Jersey's coastal plain, with elevation changes modest enough to support walkability while providing natural contours for hole variety. The design incorporates elements of the property's farming heritage, with open playing corridors and straightforward strategic choices that accommodate a range of skill levels. Water features and bunker placements create definition without excessive penal design. Cruz Farm serves the local golfing community in an area of New Jersey dense with both public and private facilities, competing in a market that includes numerous daily-fee options within a short drive. The club operates as a public-access course, offering tee times to outside play while maintaining a membership base. The setting provides a suburban golf experience removed from the more heavily trafficked Shore region to the east, with the course positioned as a neighborhood amenity rather than a destination layout.

Getting there
Most visitors to Cruz Farm Golf Club arrive through Newark Liberty International (EWR), roughly an hour's drive northwest into the rolling farmland of central New Jersey. Teterboro Airport serves as the preferred private aviation gateway for those seeking discretion, shaving minutes off the journey while offering white-glove handling. The route from either point traces a gentle arc away from the coastal sprawl, trading turnpike for quieter county roads that wind through horse country and preserved agricultural tracts, until the entrance to Cruz Farm emerges - a hushed, gated threshold where working farmland and world-class golf converge in rare harmony.
