Issue with the greens and surrounding areas

It’s great that the course is so close to LBI, but something happened to the greens and surrounding areas. They were not in good shape. Not sure if it was a fungus or something else but difficult to justify the current price in that condition.

Great course; Great welcoming committee

We vacation at the Shore and play 8 rounds in 2 weeks. LBI has certainly earned the “must play list”. 1st class accommodations as you pull up to course. Bag attendants get bags from car and get you ready for your round. Course is in pristine shape. Tees, fairways, bunkers and greens and great shape. Challenging design with 5 sets of tees. Played on a Friday afternoon in 4 hours. LBI is a 35 minute drive from Ocean City. Value is acceptable with a Hot Deal. Paid $79 for a 3:00 tee time. $179 a bit too steep for my pockets.

Rainout

We only played 5 holes due to thunderstorms. Golf Now only gave us a partial credit not a full refund which I expected.

Poor greens

I have always liked this course. The layout is great and it is a challenging but forgiving course. I was very disappointed in the conditions of the greens. Many black spots and bare spots forced them to put in unusual pin placements. Lots of bare spots in the fairways as well.

Good pace of play, 4:10 for 18 holes with a 1 pm tee time.

Friendly and helpful cart girl came around several times as well as Rangers carrying coolers of cold water on this very hot day.

Something happened to the greens and areas around the greens

I have enjoyed playing this course multiple times and like its proximity to LBI. Last year the course was in great shape. This year it’s in really rough condition. Not sure if something specific happened but the greens had areas of very large black patches and around the greens was bare and rough as well. Could be a fungus issue or something like that but at the price point it would have been good to know in advance the course was having some condition issues.

Ominous skies

This is a nice playable course, it has some character and uniqueness to it, always enjoyable to play. The skies all around the course were dark and ominous but it never rained near it.

Too expensive despite Course Rating

Only negative about the course is that about a third of the greens were burned and patched. Otherwise the Course is great. I’ve played LBI more than a dozen times but the price per round has gone up from about $85 per round to an average of $140. The reason the pace of play was so good is that many golfers are going to one of many other high quality Golf Courses in NJ. Not sure I’ll be back.

Not worth the price increase

They’ve increased the prices the past 3 years to the point where it’s absurd. The course is nice and the conditions are decent.. but $170 a round? Your course better be top tier if you’re changing those rates. The greens were slow and damaged, the sand traps were garbage. Again, I used to enjoy playing there and where the course was $90-100, the value was fine, but upping the price to $170 and basically nothing is different is absolutely wild. Just go to ocean acres down the road. Less than half the price and 80% of the upkeep. Better value
