Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond

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!

Good value for the money.
Course in great shape.
Need to be accurate or you are in trouble. Lot's of woods.

Great golf for your money, played two times and got great rates from Golfnow The greens where in great shape but seemed slow, the rough was tough, the fairways where also in good shape, Bunkers were OK a lot of bunkers were not raked, this could have been because there's only one rake per bunker, The grass on the tee boxes was a bit high. The course is tight and you'll lose golf balls if too erratic Pace of play on my first time there was really good, second round was a little slower but still not bad at all, The only thing I did not like was the lack of yardage markers on the front of the tee boxes

I read the review on this course and decided to play a round of golf. Originally, I booked 18 holes with the golf cart, but only play 9. The price of golf and a golf cart was amazing. I basically paid for the golf cart and had a round of golf for free. The pace of play was very slow due to the poor pairing of mixed couples. The course was moderately hard due to very high rough greens. Some of the tee boxes were a little hard to distinguish because they weren't properly cut. At times while being on the tee box the grass was a little long. I use short tees so at times I was hitting it off the deck. Overall a nice course to play would play again hopefully the pace of play would be better.

Got this tee time as a "Hot Deal" on GolfNow for $20 (fees included). I have been struggling with my accuracy on my mid irons and wedges so I booked this short executive course with the hopes of working those clubs out extensively. There was very little traffic on the course the day I went and I was able to play at a very deliberate pace and play the same shot over and over if needed. The course was in good condition and I can tell that the grounds crew takes pride in their work.
