The Architects Golf Club
About
The Architects Golf Club is a unique layout that honors legendary course designers including Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast, and Alistair Mackenzie. Each hole is named after a famous designer, beginning with Old Tom Morris. The opening par 5 pays homage to St. Andrews' designer through the use of the existing features as hazards such as the rock wall and the sloping hillside that the green is deftly carved into. One of the most memorable holes is the 13th, another par 5 that will give you a taste of what it's like to play Augusta. This Alistair Mackenzie-inspired hole offers many risks and rewards. Golfers will face fairways bunkers and a pond on the left and then a creek that runs diagonally in front of the triple-tiered green. Position is the key to maneuvering this tough hole.

1st hole Photo submitted by kobeguy2 on 11/17/2012
Nice course
Nice course, but played w a member that was very rude. He left the group and skipped to the 5th hole. Messed up the rest of the round. Greeting staff not friendly at all.
Sweet
Outstanding compliment of many different course designs. To play the world on a day is a lot of fun 5 stars!!!!
great course
Great course and pace of play. Early morning round in 3.75 hours. Course was mostly in great shape, bunkers weren't groomed and very hard (probably from the recent rain). Had refrained from playing here because a round is usually outside of my $ range for my ability. But golf now offered a great early morning rate. Definitely going to be playing again soon
Solid Track For The $$
Played as a 3some at 6:54am booked through golfnow for $40. This price is only offered through golf now as an early bird special before 7am. The normal weekday rate is $69 which is a fair price. But at $40 you can't get a better bargain for a nice course like this! Layout is nice and conditioning of the boxes, fairway, & rough were all superb. I played here a few years back and the golden fescue really adds to the look but it was cut down this time. Unfortunately, the greens were really banged up from golfers cleats and unrepaired ball marks. You can see the course takes care of the greens well as they would have run fast and true if it weren't for golfers not taking care of their own marks. Also three greens had to be aerated due to stress as a grounds keeper told us when we were out there. Overall, a nice course that can challenge you if you play the correct tees.
Fun and Interesting Course
This course was a lot of fun to play and the conditions were great except for the greens. I'm not sure if it were just from that day but they were pretty torn up from unrepaired ball marks and people dragging their feet. It's really a shame, the rest of the course was a pleasure to play but putting on the greens extremely difficult due to the inability to hold a line. I would go back if I could play for less money.
Early bird - Great deal!
Played before 7 am for $49 and course conditions and pace of play were excellent!
Over price links
Well kept course. But not worth the price. Holes have no visual appeal and no resemblance of the holes they decribe on the tee markers.
Plays well
Course plays well every time we play it. Would be nice if people playing the course would repair ball marks on the greens.
a MUST play
Fantastic course. Grounds are in near perfect conditions. Tee boxes, fairways, greens....even the rough was perfect! I skipped the purchase of the course layout as I had seen it online. Still, watch the water on the left side of #9 as you get near the green. As for the greens, they look fast but played moderate. Rolling hills and beautiful landscaping both on the course and the surrounding hills. After our round we hit the Thyme restaurant. We had truffle fries and full entres. Food was very good and the chef knows how to cook a steak medium rare. If it wasn't nearly two hours to get there from where I live ( Colts Neck), I would play there quite often. More than worth the trip. I look forward to playing there again.
Nice course
Course is very playable , I played gold tees next time I will play the back tees looks a lot harder. nice course for all handicaps
Good day overall
The course is the star. Well-maintained, open and very playable.
Nice ???
Sloooow play due to cart paths only status . This was due to 2 nights of heavy rain so it was understandable . The staff seemed a little "Snooty".... Perhaps because it was the end of the day .... Or perhaps because we were not members ... The shop staff needs a class in being " Nice"
Beautiful course but poor maintenance.
lt is a beautiful course. However there are many dead spots on the fairways and green were slow & bumpy.
It was 4hr playing in weekday.
Beverage cart service was very good.
Nice challenging course
Had a great time. Good course. Fun Course design and layout. Green a little beat up. Lots of ball marks. Fairways in great shape.
First time at Architects
The course design is great, it's not really long, but it helps to know the course to be in scoring position.
It is a little expensive, but it's worth the trip for a gorgeous piece of property
I will definitely be going back
Good course
The staff was very nasty use all the mowers went we are putting heating driver of the tee no respect at all
Beautiful course to match the beautiful day!
This is the 4th time playing this course. The more I play it, the more I love it. It has a country club look, feel, condition without the pricey greens fees. The onlinc booking app was AWESOME and they don't charge any fees. Would highly recommend it!!!
Great Sunday afternoon!
Great afternoon of golf, the kinda of day that you look forward to all week hoping the next time can be as enjoyable.
The starter was friendly and informative , gave us some heads up on a few holes and tips for having more success on those holes.
Conditions were perfect and the course was well manicured !
We played at a comfortable pace and the refreshment cart came around for perfect timing.
Fairways were cut perfect and the rough presented a challenge, greens were large and very good shape !
We could only hope our next experience was as perfect as this round was. Thanks Again for great time!
GREAT BIRTHDAY
i enjoyed my birthday playing two rounds at this beautiful scenic golf course. The course was in excellent condition,with helpful staff to assist me at every turn. From the staff at the pro shop ,to the starter. The friendliest cart girl north of the Mason Dixon. Conditions at Architects was awesome ! . We finished the early bird special in just over 3 hours. We decided to go back out for a replay for a very reasonable price. Second round was still under 4 1/2
Great place
Great layout and holes have you thinking where to hit every shot. Back 9 length is the challenge versus anything else natural in play.
