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.

Been here quite a bit. It’s a great club and can be a fun play-not the hardest test of golf for good players. Some holes make you question the design, I’d call it outdated with modern distance.

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.

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.

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.

Played many times as another solid local private club-it’s kept well and looks nice, but the layout makes you want more. It seems a bit squished into less space and would be great if they had more land.

Another county course I’ve played a bunch. The more “linksy” of the 2 at Charleston. I find the north to be a bit frustrating with a few more odd par 4 designs.

Beacon Hill has a well below average layout and iffy conditions. The land they have is very small, so the course is pretty crammed. No real practice facility. Greens are decent all things considered.

Conditions are solid but the course layout just does not do it for me. A few interesting holes, but feels very repeatable without any monster long holes. A decent course, but nothing more.

Lots of quirky dog legs. Some people get frustrated, some people can enjoy hitting less off the tee or taking tiger lines to cut corners. Plenty of shade and decent greens, I always enjoy my time here but keep in mind it’s no country club

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.

Competed here and played with friends for years. If you can get an early time it’ll be lots of fun. Firm public course conditions are about what you’d expect, but it’s a solid little layout and there’s a good amount of punishment.

Shark River. Known as the best public greens in Monmouth county. You could say that, but you could also say it’s the most frustrating design in the county.

For a school course it is not bad. Not much thought went into the layout, but it’s semi-interesting and usually in fine shape. 5 Par 5’s and 5 Par 3’s also throws a twist into things.
