Been here a bunch. Wish it was more walkable. The greens are super simple and semi-flat, so I seem to putt great here. Otherwise it’s nothing special, some good holes and well kept course conditions. Plenty of birdies to be had on easy par 5s and short 4s.

From tee to green, one cannot help being captured by the traditional and yet interesting design and routing, as well as the varied topography. The course is difficult and challenging, especially the greens, but not unfair.

Man is this a frustrating golf course. It’s short and quirky as can be, which gives you plenty of chances to score, but even more chances to ask what was going on in the architecture of the property.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Colts Neck, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
