First Time Playing

Nice executive style course, had fun, very chalenging!

Lots of par 3s, tight fairways, greens small and challenging. This course is not easy to score well for average golfer.Its tight small greens , shot placement and course Managment a must! Leave your driver at home. We had fun , our score cards reflected how much the course over matched our ability . A few more posted signs to where the next hole is could speed up play.

Still was a great day. Thanks!

Narrow corse, fun and challenging

For the most part this is a pretty narrow corse compared to others around the area. In good shape except for the cart paths which need help. Greens are in good conditions and can be challenging on some holes. Well maintained even with all the rain we have been having lately

A treasure in ocean county

Love this course. It's a par 3 but has some par 4 scattered through. A lot of shade, so great in the summer.

Slow greens

Over all the was great shape. They keep the greens grass a bit long so there rather slow. It took a few holes till I got speed right.

Very fun!!

This was my first time here and I must say I was impressed for a county run course. Staff was very friendly and although it's a small course I found it alot of fun. Definitely won't get much use out of your driver here with all the par 3's, with a cart I finished up just over three hours. Will be returning again!!

Very good for the price

I just began playing golf in December and this course has taught me a lot about my game. The holes are well designed however they are not as wide as traditional par 72 courses. The greens need some upkeep occasionally but most of the time they are very nice. The course is very good especially for the price.
