Metedeconk National Golf Club occupies a forested property in Jackson, New Jersey, roughly equidistant between the Atlantic coast and the Pine Barrens. The course was designed by Rick Jacobson and opened in 2000 as a private facility. Jacobson, who worked extensively with Tom Fazio before establishing his own practice, routed the layout through dense stands of pine and oak, creating a secluded playing experience with minimal interaction between holes. The sandy soil and natural elevation changes—modest by New Jersey standards but notable for the coastal plain—allowed for firm conditions and strategic ground game options uncommon in the region. The routing makes use of the property's wooded corridors and natural contours, with holes playing through tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy from the tee. Several holes incorporate water features, and the bunkering style reflects the naturalistic, sculpted aesthetic associated with Jacobson's design philosophy. The greens are contoured with subtle internal movement, rewarding precise approach play. The course stretches to over 7,000 yards from the championship tees, though multiple tee boxes accommodate varying skill levels. Metedeconk National operates as a member-owned club with a focus on golf and a relatively low-key atmosphere compared to some of the state's more established private clubs. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse, though the golf course remains the primary amenity. The club has hosted regional amateur events, taking advantage of the course's length and the challenge presented by its tree-lined character.
