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.

Classic old school course with fabulous bunkering, very tricky greens and variety of distances. Blue tees seemed way longer than 6500ish. Standout holes included short par 4 2nd, short par 4 12th, and tunnel 18th.

One of the best driving ranges and facilities I’ve seen. It’s a super difficult course tee-green, but the greens aren’t as punishing as the rest. High grass and long holes might challenge you, but it’s a good place to play.

Ridge is a really fun and unique course in the middle of nowhere. It’s a modern layout with plenty of room in the landing areas. Some of the greens are a bit extreme, but still fair if not above the hole. Some great views on the top of the mountain on the back 9.

They removed a ton of trees which really allows for better views and firmer conditions. A solid Raynor that will keep improving with time. Drainage is a real issue here, every time it rains the course struggles mightily.

Springdale is a decent course all around. Nothing spectacular, but everything’s pretty good. A solid range and practice facility and an old school golf course. A bit short for the modern game, but still fun for all skill levels. Conditions usually are good, not great.

A Ross design that is usually kept in good shape, just not my favorite. Need to hit the ball right to left. A super long Back 9 that measures about 3,800 yards from the tips.

Great course for beginners and most golfers. For longer hitters and competitive players it is too simple. Not an inch of elevation on the course and a pretty ok layout.

Great course that makes you really play the course and not just mindlessly hit your shots. The rough and bunkers are real obstacles: if you want to score then you’ll have to keep it in the fairway.

Course was in decent shape, still played firm despite it being in the middle of a hot rainy spring/early summer. Greens were a bit slow but the layout is good enough to overcome rather uninteresting greens. Really fun risk reward shots and some cool views with the lack of trees.

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.

Facility is pretty nice but the course just does not do it for me. Has a modern feel but no real theme or soul to the layout. Conditions are average and the green complexes are uninteresting.

Jasna is cool new school golf course. A few interesting holes, good mix of Par 3’s. 2 drivable Par 4’s. Has the unnatural look a lot of the TPC’s have. Greens weren’t the quickest but they were smooth.

A good Monmouth county public gem. Best kept public course in the area. A few doglegs that don’t do to well design wise for hitters over 220, but a course that’s fun to play all the time. Not difficult, but a good round to be played and good place to be.

Old Bridge is a very fun new public course in Central NJ. The conditions are solid and the layout is fun. A good mix of some short and long holes with a few modern takes on some of the historic templates.
