About this course

Eagle Ridge Golf Club's Ridge course sits in the Pine Barrens region of central New Jersey, where sandy soils and native vegetation create a distinctive setting for golf. Designed by Brian Ault, the course takes advantage of the area's natural topography, incorporating elevation changes and wooded corridors that are characteristic of inland New Jersey layouts. The sandy base provides good drainage and firm playing conditions throughout much of the season. The routing moves through stands of pine and oak, with fairways that often require strategic positioning off the tee to set up approach shots to elevated or contoured greens. The natural terrain offers more movement than the typically flat coastal courses found elsewhere in the state, and Ault's design works with these features rather than imposing dramatic artificial shaping. Water comes into play on several holes, adding variety to the strategic demands. Eagle Ridge serves a regional membership and hosts local competitive events. The facility operates as part of the broader golf community in Ocean County, an area with numerous courses that benefit from the well-draining soils and relatively mild climate of the Jersey Shore region. The club provides a traditional member experience with practice facilities and dining amenities typical of established private clubs in the area.

Getting there

Eagle Ridge Golf Club sits within easy reach of the New York metropolitan region's three major hubs - Newark Liberty International (EWR), roughly 30 minutes to the southwest, or LaGuardia (LGA) and JFK, each within an hour's drive - making it one of the most accessible private clubs on the East Coast. The drive from Newark traces through the industrial and suburban landscape of northern New Jersey, transitioning from the Turnpike's steady hum into the quieter, tree-lined roads that define Lakewood's residential character. For those arriving by private aviation, Teterboro Airport (TEB) in nearby Englewood offers a swift alternative, positioning you at the club's gates in under 20 minutes. The final miles unfold through the pine-studded neighborhoods of Ocean County, where the club's manicured grounds emerge as a serene counterpoint to the density left behind - a verdant sanctuary that belies its proximity to one of America's most congested corridors.
