Reviews
If in the LBI area and looking for a decent course and don’t want to spend LBI national money this is your place. Short drive from the island. The Gem of this course is hole 10 island par 3. Fantastic hole, the course is usually in decent shape. Rounds on the weekends can take awhile but on a week day it’s fine.
