Very demanding off the tee. I love most of everything about the course but if you miss the fairway by 5 yards you might need a new ball. Mostly unwalkable, but a great course

Over priced for what it is. Service is pretty bad. They threw a random 2 some with my group on hole 8 with a 2some who just showed up late. Rangers all over the place which you would think would make the round go faster but the front 9 was super slow.

Very overrated. Very hard. Layout is silly at times. Too much manufactured land. Rolling hills in the rough. Small boring greens. Easy to lose a ball all day. 1 or 2 fun holes. Better places to play near the shore towns.

Union League National, my first “Jersey Shore” course, is an excellent Dana Fry/Jason Straka design on grounds of the former Sand Barrens. They kept the sand theme, with huge man-made dunescapes traversing interesting land. Circus greens were right speed & a blast! Great vibes!

Fair but challenging course. Faster greens than most public courses. Grass range, nice pro shop. Multiple fun and unique holes. On the pricier side but worth it. Not walkable due to holes being spread far apart.

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 Egg Harbor Township, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
