Twisted Dune Course
Egg Harbor Township, NJ, USA
Twisted Dune dares golfers to embrace a round where the unexpected lies around every corner. Carved from the sandy scrublands of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, this links-style course presents a stark contrast to the region's more traditional layouts. Designed by Archie Struthers, Twisted Dune fully embraces its environment. Towering mounds and undulating fairways mimic the windswept dunes of a seaside links, demanding strategic shot-making and a healthy dose of creativity. Errant drives find themselves swallowed by unforgiving fescue grasses, while well-placed shots are rewarded with ample opportunities for scoring. It doesn't punish indiscriminately, however. Struthers provides enough width to allow for some less-than-perfect shots, making it playable for all handicap levels. While Twisted Dune hasn't hosted any major professional tournaments, it remains a popular destination for golfers seeking a unique and challenging experience. Post-round, the club has a loyal following of members and public players who enjoy their famous homemade sweet potato fries.

Golfers say Twisted Dune offers a distinctive links-style experience in South Jersey with a challenging, sand-heavy layout that many find fun and memorable, though opinions on difficulty vary from playable to demanding. Most praise the interesting routing and large fairways and greens, with several noting the course is well-maintained and the staff friendly, though a few reviewers found conditions only adequate and mention issues like rocks in bunkers and subpar rental equipment. Reviewers frequently highlight the unique character compared to typical New Jersey courses, with one calling it "Tobacco Road lite," and several recommend it as among the best public options in the region. The main complaint centers on slow pace of play, which some find frustrating on an otherwise enjoyable track.

Nicely designed course but not very well maintained. Had to rent clubs and the rental set they had was pretty awful (Lynx set - dented driver)
Difficult track, tons of sand. I always refer to it as Tobacco Road lite. Great fairways and greens. Difficult course your first few times out. Good grass range and nice staff.
Twisted Dune is a very interesting public course down in South Jersey. Conditions and the facility are good and the layout is interesting. Some cool features. Not my favorite.
Fun to play a links style course in south jersey, especially when it’s dry out. Slooowwww pace
Fun place different vibe
It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint . A lot of fun to play but certainly not easy. It was a BYOB when we were there. Day 2 of our May 2025 AC golf trip. Morning round
Honestly very fun
A completely different experience compared to most golf in NJ. Massive fairways and greens make the course super playable and a blast. Only knock is the bunkers have way too many rocks and I have damaged wedges from trying to get out.
Definitely one of the best public courses in South Jersey. Extremely fun course layout and is meticulously maintained.
