Buck a Hole

I paid $18 for 18 holes with a cart. The course was in great shape, pace was on point and staff is top notch. Can’t find anything bad to say about the course as a whole, 100% going back.

Beautiful Course, a day of irons!

This course is simply beautiful, and beautifully kept. We attended on a Saturday and ended up being one person short of our reservations due to a fever and in the interest in keeping everyone safe. The staff was excellent. They were gracious and knowledgeable of the course during the flow of the day. The morning was backed up, but everyone at the course that day was pleasant and tolerable. This being a very tough year for all with very limited recreational activities there was no complaining.

Being a new golfer of just over one year, I found the course exceptionally challenging. It forced me to go into my bag and use my irons and know my game well. I look forward to returning. This day was a great course, great staff, great value but a little slow. Considering it was a Saturday and the entire debacle of 2020 I had expected it to be packed on such a beautiful day.

The pace of play was bad, it took 4 hours to play, for such a short course that's unexceptionable. The greens were also aerated without informing or posting about it.

Nice, Convenient and a Fair Price

First time playing this Ocean County (NJ) course. If you "spray the ball" all over the place you had better bring some extra balls. Our foursome had a good time, lost two balls (to the woods) and moved on. I am not one to invite poison ivy and deer ticks to retrieve a ball! You had to concentrate to make sure you kept the ball in play. It was an nice place to practice the skills you need on more difficult courses. W had a relaxing and enjoyable round and all vowed we "will return"!
