LBI National Golf & Resort occupies a coastal setting in Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, positioned along the mainland edge of the Barnegat Bay region near Long Beach Island. The course was designed by Rees Jones and opened in 2005, representing one of the architect's efforts to create a links-style experience in the Mid-Atlantic. The property sits on relatively flat terrain typical of the New Jersey coastal plain, with the routing incorporating natural wetlands, native grasses, and open vistas that evoke seaside golf despite being slightly inland from the barrier island beaches. Jones's design emphasizes wide fairways bordered by sandy waste areas and fescue grasses, with strategic bunkering and water hazards coming into play on several holes. The layout takes advantage of prevailing winds off the bay, making club selection and shot shaping important considerations throughout the round. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee options accommodate different skill levels. Several holes feature elevated greens and mounding that create visual interest across the otherwise level landscape. LBI National operates as a public-access facility, serving both resort guests and daily-fee players. The property includes lodging and dining amenities typical of a destination golf resort, catering to visitors drawn to the Jersey Shore region. The course provides a contrast to the area's older, tree-lined parkland layouts, offering a more open, wind-exposed style of play that references traditional seaside golf architecture.
