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!

Greens, while large, feel impossible at times and require strategic approach shots. Course was in immaculate shape otherwise. Would definitely want to play Meade over Sherman if I return.

My home course. Very fun with great conditions and course always moves quickly. It’s very tight and doesn’t play long so you won’t need to hit driver on most holes so it can get repetitive

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.
