Eagle Ridge Golf Club - Pines Course
About
The Pines Course is one of three nine-hole courses at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Lakewood. The Links and the Ridge are the other two. The courses can be played individually or as three different 18-hole combinations. The Pines Course is named after the mature, tree-covered landscape. It and the Ridge Course make up the original layout at Eagle Ridge G.C. They were built over a sand and gravel quarry that was used to help build the Garden State Parkway in the late 40s. The unique and undulating topography is a result of this. The towering pinelands lend a sheltered feel to the course as well as a challenging element to the game. There are also strategically placed bunkers that come into play along the greensides.

slow pace
⭐☆☆☆☆
Unbelievably slow pace of play. It took us 3 hours just to finish the front nine. By the time we got to the 10th hole, there were already two foursomes waiting ahead of us. We realized it would take several more hours to finish the round, so we had no choice but to leave.
This was a very frustrating experience. The course really needs to do a better job managing tee times and keeping the pace of play moving. We paid to enjoy a round of golf, not spend the entire day waiting.
Great course
The golf was great. The course is not particularly long, but plenty of opportunity to get into trouble. Many traps and high thick rough.
The chef did not show up for lunch when we were there a noon. Only hot dogs and sandwiches at their pub.
Lack of employees so there was a delay in getting a cart and getting started. Plenty of people telling you to stay on pace once the round started.
Some confusion with finding hole to hole and my GPS was not able to be used because the hole numbers had changed.
Confusing changes to hole sequence
First time playing here since the closure of Ridge 9 holes. The reconfiguration of the two remaining nine hole courses (Pine and Links) was confusing even though signage has been added to point the way to the next hole. My Garmin Approach S20 GPS golf watch is up to date, but the changes to course configuration do not
appear to rbe reflect the new configuration. It still has all three nines showing. @
Good course but way overbooked on weekends for a rough 5 1/2 hour round.
I’ve played Eagle Ridge for many years and have enjoyed this place. Obviously, they closed 9 holes and now have 18 remaining. Couse was good and the people working there are doing their best but you can’t charge a premium price and treat your patrons with a 5 1/2 round. Tee times are bumper to bumper and our group waited at every single tee box on every hole. Unfortunately I’m forced to take this one off our weekend roster this year. Really a shame but management did absolutely nothing either on the course or after the round to attempt to fix this. Although they probably know the course is overbooked and you just have us accept it. Not good.

I just played here for two days in a row. Both days the pace was extremely slow. Four hours and 40 minutes each day. Looks like no one can do anything about it.
Good but not what it used to be
Great course, nice friendly staff, terrible pace of play, very well maintained course. It was an excellent course when it was 27 holes, now truncated to 18 holes, layout as well as cart paths etc are not so great. Still worth playing.
Total excellent experience
I’ve played the course when it was 3 nines, this was first time on new layout and y’all did a fine job on layout.
New Strange Layout
Nine holes were dropped from thie 27 hole layout that was there the last time I played.
The holes are still nice and a good challenge, but the layout is a strange routing and needs much better marking.
Ithere is much criss crossing and driving past holes that aren’t there anymore. It was definitely a negative that caused us to get lost and waste time. Even so, we got back in position and finished in 5 hours. Way too long!
Might be back if we can’t get a tee time elsewhere.
Eagle Ridge has changed
I played this course many times a few years back when they offered three 9-hole courses. The land has been purchased for alternative development and while the staff are still friendly and helpful - the course has been reduced to an 18-hole course. There are a few tough and very narrow holes which make it challenging. Unfortunately, a couple of blind tee shots on holes leave these holes rated at below average.
Course was in great shape but they recently changed from 27 holes to 18. Garmin hasn't updated the layout yet so the GPS watch doesn't work on some holes. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely play here again.
Nice course
Nice course, very good layout and condition, great value for the money. Would definitely play this on a regular basis. Course is 5700 from the whites and definitely a challenge.
Eagle Lakewood
Eagle Ridge is one of the better courses in Ocean County. However a couple improvements are necessary. Tee boxes and bunkers need some help. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Would be nice to have some water jugs on the course.
Also, pin placements are not identified.
