Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond

The major challenge in this course is the narrowness of the fairways which were bordered on both sides by trees and heavy vegetation. Get too far into the rough and give up on finding your ball. Course was in very good condition but greens were sa little slow.

I was looking for a faster than usual round on Mother's Day so I tried Forge Pond. After a week of rain the course was very green but also very wet in spots. For an executive course I found it to be a challenge. Very tight and some par threes are 200+ yards and treelined. The greens were smallish and undulating so it was a challenge on every shot. Enjoyable.

The starter was a jerk. After we paid I went outside with my receipt. He told us to get in line behind people that hadn't paid yet, with no one on the first tee. The group was nice and let us go.

Saw him again at the turn as we walked by the clubhouse and I said hello and waved as we passed him. He starred at is blankly without saying anything.

I really don't know why he was so unhappy. Perhaps he forgot to we are customers and he takes his job with a clipboard a little to serious.

The course is in great shape. It is a very challenging executive course where you have to be accurate with your shots. The greens rolled true with most greens having undulations. I arrived about an hour before my tee time and they allowed me to go right out. This is a great course to work on your short game and mental game for where to place your shots and what type of shot to hit. I will definitely play it again. The only negative was twigs on the greens from the strong winds the night before, but not a major concern, easy to remove. The staff was very friendly, the starter explained where the first tee was and the tenth tee along with other features of the course.

I don't normally write reviews but I stayed away from this course because the last review was particularly negative and I was pleasantly surprised. Short but challenging, greens and fairways were in pretty good condition. Absolutely worth the value.

Not quite a golf course because the grounds are not well maintained. Tee boxes uneven unlevel. Fairways obscured by too many tree branches. Fairway grass too deep, difficult to find balls. Greens are really bad in many ways. Rough with dings and divots. Holes not set at proper depth causes pop outs and 370 degree rim rides. Holes are crowned. Debris all over. Not rolled. No two alike so can't use experience from one to another. No stimp meter readings. Grass type not bent. Overall too little area so hitting greens from 150 yards out results in roll off into 6" grass. Needs sand box at every one for leveling and filling divots. Also water spickets black from bacteria. Can only imagine what inside of water containers look like. Can't get a hot dog there. Coffee stale. Ball washers broken and water is muddy. No soap either. Putts almost go into cup, going errant inches before. *I'm not kidding! ****One good feature is a walk in the park and seeing animals.

Some holes were narrow but overall great for short game

This Par 60 Course is well maintained, with narrow fairways, and generally difficult to hit greens. Great course to improve your short game.

Overall the course is in good condition. Most of the holes are a little tight and as if that wasn't tough enough it is quite easy to lose balls in the rough or just off the rough...hitting fairways is essential, The greens are deceptively slow and the ball often doesn't break at all even when logic says it should.

This is a great county course for a reasonable price. The GolfNow app worked perfect to my groups advantage. We were at a BBQ the day before on Labor Day weekend and in minutes we were able to book a tee time for this course. This course is an iron course and the fairways are very narrow. This course is a great practice course to improve your iron game!

Greens and Fairways were in Good Condition as was the Bunkers.

Played this course for the first time today with a couple buddies. Great price for a neat course composed of mostly par 3s and a couple par 4s. However, on the fourth hole the course ranger came up to our group in the middle of our round without saying word. He walked onto the green as we were putting and then on his way off got in MY golf cart and drove away. After chasing him down past the next tee box he told me he was senile and had no clue where his cart was.

first time out on this course, has lots of shorter holes but for the $$ you cant beat this deal. I will play again

Course is challenging due to narrow fairways and small greens. Took almost 4 hours to play a short course several slow groups. Course wasn't crowded just wasn't being managed. T

I really enjoyed playing this course. It struck me as having more Par 3 holes than most places I've played. But they were all great fun. I was a little nervous showing up solo, but the starter did a great job of pairing me up with a nice guy and a couple of young players. It was a great afternoon of golf, and you cannot beat the price! It was quite affordable!

Good value for the $$. Refine iron play and fairway club selection

Tight fairways. Short holes. Fun little course I'd gladly play again

Staff was great. Course was in great shape. Great for Iron Work. Will definitely play again soon.

Have played this course several times. I believe the fairways are forgiving although putting is definitely challenging. Will definitely return in the near future.

Great course to play at all 18 holes were tough but fun! Slow rate of play due to being busy and a par 3 course so there are a lot of walkers but still well worth the price on golf now!
