Eagle Oaks at Eagle Oaks Golf Club

Eagle Oaks Golf Club opened in 1998 on a former sand and gravel quarry site in Farmingdale, New Jersey. The course was designed through an unusual collaboration involving Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, and Gus Grantham, with each contributing to the routing and hole designs. The property's mining history left dramatic elevation changes and sandy soil that provides excellent drainage and firm playing conditions uncommon in the region.

The layout plays across varied terrain that includes significant elevation shifts, natural sand areas, and water features created during the quarry operations. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography to create a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. Several holes play along or across former excavation areas, giving the course a distinctive character compared to typical New Jersey parkland designs. The sandy subsoil allows the course to remain playable in wet conditions and supports firm, fast conditions during dry periods.

Eagle Oaks operates as a daily-fee facility and has served as a venue for regional amateur competitions and qualifying events. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees and presents a test for accomplished players while offering multiple tee options for different skill levels. The clubhouse provides standard amenities including dining and event space. The course's location in central New Jersey places it within reach of golfers from both the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.
