It’s time to recognize the staff at LBI National for being the best I’ve ever seen

It is clear that management makes a significant effort to hire and train their staff. The courtesy, friendliness and effort to serve their clientele is evident across the board. As an example, I remember when Eric who works the bag drop was first hired many months ago and you could see right from the beginning that was the right kind of person. Now, after becoming one of the regular cart guys when I play there he has grown to do all of the little things that make my golf experience more enjoyable. The cart bag loop is always through the slot and not covering one of my zippered pockets. There is always ice in the cart cooler. I mentioned one time that my grips needed to be cleaned and when I came back he had taken care of that too. Of course the clubs are always cleaned properly and he uses the brush his partner Kyle lobbied for to even be sure the iron grooves are clean. You don’t get that kind of service at most courses. There is no quick wipe of the irons without the head covers coming off the woods at LBI National with these guys.

Long Round

The coarse has been in mediocre shape since mid July. I have played here regularly this year and probably have 20+ rounds. Yesterday was the last round I will play here for the foreseeable future.

Greens are in fair to poor condition and the tees boxes are chewed up. THE BIGGEST DOWNFALL that could be managed has been the pace of play. I had to leave the coarse after 15 holes due to the backup of players… and the coarse personnel did nothing about keeping pace of play moving.

If you pay $130-190 per round, you should get a higher end semi private club experience.

Not worth the price any longer.

Disappointed but hopeful

Great Facility, strong course layout, excellent staff but course is ROUGH

Tons of potential but it looks like they had some sort of fungus and areas are dead, many greens have dead areas and are very slow.

Course conditions need to improve to get me back, but if they can improve I would be back fast. I'm hoping for continued improvement. On this nice layout

Of course it doesn't help that many guests are clueless about how to treat a nice course. Giant unfixed divots, ball marks on greens and nobody appears to know how to take a bunker. A real shame.

Fun day

The course is pretty, personally, the price to play is not justified.

The greens definitely need work. The tees for the ladies also need improvement.

The greens are stressed. Much worse than when I played there 4 weeks ago.

The fairways and rough are in good shape, except for some of the around the green areas.

I played the front 9 only.

do not play!

I agree completely with this review from 8/11/25: "Lots of bare spots on greens and around greens! Sand on the greens as well. Worst conditions I’ve ever seen at LBI." It was so bad vs. the price that I likely won't ever play this course again. It's bordering on fraud for them to charge what they're charging (over $100 in the AM) without a posting about the conditions of the greens. To take this kind of money from people with a smile and then turn them out to a course that a $30 municipal would be ashamed of made me feel like I was robbed. Do not play.

Long day

Played late afternoon and it was the least enjoyable round of the year. Course was beat up late in the day but that didn’t bother us. Slow play and waiting on every shot is torture. We saw a ranger on 3 and that was it. Inexcusable not to have rangers making sure people are keeping up with the group in front.

Plays Great

If you can look past imperfections and your a true golfer it's agreat track. Was given a 15% discount by the counter guy because he said it wasn't up to their standards because of some summer stress issues.. I don't' see that often..

Nice layout. Greens in bad shape

Took 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish. 1 hole had 3 groups on the tee box. Not a good time!
