Shore Gate Golf Club

The course has a great layout but the conditions are atrocious. It rained heavy 4 days prior to our round and the fairways were still mostly mud with divots all over. The rough is filled with mostly crab grass and there is only sand in 20% of the bunkers with tarp showing in a few of the bunkers. Save your money and play a local muni.

Let me start off telling you this course is very nice, good layout & conditions. Staff act like this is a exclusive private club. You can’t expect people to have a 4 hour round when you have cartpath only on several holes & rope off The entire holes on the ones you can drive on. The ranger was extremely annoying. I like this course, but will never play it again.

Idk if they had a bad day but every employee I encountered at this place was very unfriendly! This might not be important to some people but I golf a lot and enjoy talking to the staff. Not this place! We’ve played here every year on a guys trip for many years and it’s always been the least friendly of all the courses we play but this time...well, I’m taking time to write this review so enough said.

If you are looking for a place to play when in South Jersey put Shore Gate on your list. This is a quality golf course that will challenge from every set of tees. If the ninth hole doesn't get your attention then surely the 15th will. It is in excellent shape and the big undulating greens can run fast.

Been playing this course for years and it’s simply the best track at the shore. Tough, so bring your “A” game (137 slope from whites) but great layout, excellent variety of par 3s and overall great experience.

The course is staffed well, very friendly and service oriented staff for a public facility. With five sets of tees this cource can offer you all the challenge you're up for. Green comexes were in excellent shape, many, but not all of the bunkers were in good condition and the fairways and tee boxes were in good shape considering the number of rou d played. Will be back.

I have been playing Shoregate regularly every summer since it opened in 2002. The course was reasonably priced until about 4 years ago. I think that when Sand Barrens went private, they jacked up their green fees to $125-..thinking they are now the only game in town. The twilight fee is $75-

It almost seems that management does not care if people play their coarse or not. Sure they get a few regular golfers but the place is always empty. That means “ crickets in the pro shop and restaurant” - The pro shop and restaurant is a trailer?

I really do not know what the deal is but this course is way over priced and not worth it. You can play Avalon or AC courses for half of that.

I've played Shore Gate numerous times and have loved the challenge of the layout, pristine conditions, friendliness of the staff and the total golf experience. The course presents numerous challenges from numerous bunkers (some "faux"), ponds, undulating greens and so forth. But is also a fair course.

It's all golf, with practice range, and while food options are limited that's actually good. Course must be played from the proper set of tees - generally one closer than you think

Challenges are numerous, and it's a great place to play in all seasons. Love the Shore Gate experience.

...many years ago when it was ranked very high in the state. Not anymore. Conditions where lacking, especially the bunkers, which there are quite a few.

The course was wet so it was cart path only, which I understand, but is was still very difficult because of the moguls and and bunkers lining most fairways. And there are some long walks from green to next tee.

Architecturally, it is visually exciting.

First time back in a few years and this course was in fantastic shape. Tee boxes and fairways were pristine and the greens were firing! Firm and fast conditions made for a challenging and enjoyable day. Highly recommend playing this course if you're in the area or looking to make a day trip with friends.

If you can hit the ball stright you"ll be fine on this course. Very fun beach course with ling grass and crazy sand traps like a us open. Definitely will play again.

Really love this course. Does not get the publicity or business it is capable of. They do not advertise on golfnow.com or teeoff.com which would get new people to try it and then keep them. I would really avoid playing this course on a rainy day. Do not forget your ball retriever. Make sure you hit some bunker shots before you arrive because they will haunt you. Great conditions and layout.

I've played a lot of courses in the last 50+ years. Shore Gate is in my top 5 - ever! The layout is magnificent. Almost every hole is spectacular and unique. From the tee box, holes just fit my eyes. Though off-season now, there was a good amount of routine maintenance happening. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in excellent shape which is a rarity for many area courses in March. The course is even walkable which is also a rarity for courses designed and built the last 30 years. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed playing here even if one's game is a bit ragged that day. The beauty of the course will be a positive remembrance.

My buddies and I took the trip down to shore gate in ocean view. I have really been craving to play here and for January you couldn't ask for much more. The main reason I wanted to play here is the layout, it didn't disappoint. Found myself enjoying every shot. I would play here every day of the week but thats just me.

This is an open to the public course that is a must play for the avid golfer when down the South Jersey shore area. It is always in top condition and the variation and challenge of the design is best in the area. This day in early November the temperatures were high 50's but the wind was pretty severe. As we were playing a casual round and in this area handicaps aren't recorded at this time of year, we varied tee depending on wind direction to make the day enjoyable and not beat ourselves up.

The rates changed depending on the time of day but felt I got my money's worth every time on this course . It is beautiful & challenging. If you have trouble navigating mounds & moderately steep sand this course is not for you.
