Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond

Forge Pond is ok, farily well maintained Par 60. Course is no pushover as some holes are tight with lots of trees. If you like hitting driver, this is not your course.

very nice new golf carts but please fix the cart path between 1 2 and 3 must hold on tight or get thrown out if your a passenger

Overall course wasn’t in too bad of shape. Tee boxes were really beat up, I understand it’s a par 3 course so it’s understandable, but no areas were seeded or had divot mix dropped in. Greens were decent, but pace of play was terrible for the first 9 holes, it did pick up on the back 9.

A par 60 with most par 3's in the 150-170 range. The 6 fours have trouble on both sides. If you are short and straight, this is the course for you. The staff was friendly but the pace was a bit slow. The course was in good shape but it is definitely a challenge for the not so straight golfer.

Course was in bad shape and the rate of play was so slow it wasn't even worth playing.

Forge Pond is a very difficult short course. Some tree removal is warranted because the course is narrow and there are many natural obstructions, especially for a long ball hitter The greens are very small and undulating to the point of being annoying, to me. They are rarely rolled and it seems no two are alike. Stint meter would help. The first nine are down in the swampy low land. The back nine, on higher ground, play more pleasantly. If you fade or slice,, kiss your ball goodbye. The shrubs are thick and loaded with ticks and chiggers.. There are many amateurs (hackers) whom do not seem to know the rules of the game nor the rules of etiquette. However, overwhelming majority of golfers are friendly. All and all, it is worth the time, cost and effort. I recommend you take the FP challenges.

Short holes, but challenging enough for most players. Scenic, quiet, well maintained, we were not rushed but there is ongoing staff presence throughout the course. A nice outing.

Good course to correct weaknesses that you might have. Not crowded, good pace per each nine.

I enjoyed this course immensely. Not too difficult, lovely greens. Maintained well.
