Excellent conditions, tight course.
Conditions were great. Fantastic value for the cost. Tight fairways with woods and water hazards. Tricky greens. An enjoyable golf day is to be had at Forge Pond GC.
Fun
I used to be hostile towards this course, complete 180°. It's fun and challenging, for what it is, 6 par 4', 12 par threes. No clunkers, greens in great shape, gotta be a shot maker here. Enjoy 😉
Forge never disappoints
In my opinion, you can't find a better public,executive course to play for the money. Layout is awesome! Very narrow fairways. I think whomever designed the course is a sadist, but that's just me. Greens were slow. Only downfall. What a beautiful course, well maintained, priced right. Other than the cranky ol timer that starts you, it's a real gem. Great job . Kudos to the groundcrew.
Was kicked off due to cart return time.
I was kicked off the course due to cart return time at 7:04pm. I was told prior to my round the carts needed to be returned by 7:30pm. I did not get any sort of refund or anything, except for a nasty old man that told me and my girlfriend “last hole go straight in”. I said “what?” And he then said “don’t give me (curse word rhymes with pit) bring the cart back in you’re done the carts needed to be back by 7:15” i said “i was told 7:30” and he threatened to call security so rather cause an issue, my girlfriend and I left the course. This is completely outrageous. The course was jam packed ALSO having a seminar going on with no forewarning. Do not come here.
Great course to work on the short game!
This course is very challenging. Fairways are relatively tight. Greens are small and contoured. Great course to practice your short game. Course is very well maintained. Staff members are all very friendly!
Value
Nice course beginning of the year green conditions were fair. Staff very friendly .
Decent course for avg Joe
Overall a good value for non-professionals like myself. Get to have fun and enjoy a round with my son. Very friendly staff too.
A Muni Gem
A little gem on the Jersey Shore. Do not let the par rating or distance fool you, this is not an easy course. Very tight fairways lined with trees, pine needles and water, depending on the hole. 4000y 60 rating. The crew keeps the greens green, and the teeing areas flat. Local golfers are hacks that do not know how to fill a divot or repair a ball mark. You cannot beat the resident senior rate of $13. A Hal Purdy gem.
