Suneagles Golf Club

Suneagles Golf Club in Eatontown, New Jersey, is an A.W. Tillinghast design situated in Monmouth County, part of the state's central coastal region. Tillinghast, one of American golf architecture's most prolific figures during the Golden Age, designed numerous courses throughout the Northeast in the 1920s and 1930s. The course occupies relatively level terrain characteristic of the New Jersey coastal plain, with the routing likely incorporating the gentle contours and natural drainage patterns typical of Tillinghast's work in this geography. Tillinghast's design philosophy emphasized strategic variety and playability across different skill levels, with bunkering that rewards thoughtful course management and greens that present subtle reading challenges. His courses in New Jersey often feature tree-lined fairways and a parkland character that has matured over the decades. The layout at Suneagles reflects the architect's attention to creating distinct hole corridors and green complexes that require accurate approach play. The club operates as a private facility serving the Monmouth County golf community. Eatontown's location provides access to golfers from both the immediate Shore area and those commuting from northern New Jersey. Like many Tillinghast courses, Suneagles represents a period design that has evolved through the years while maintaining the fundamental strategic elements of its original architecture.
