nice course
Good value for the money.
Course in great shape.
Need to be accurate or you are in trouble. Lot's of woods.
Short but challenging
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
Nice day for a round of golf
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.
Great bang for the buck!
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.
great course
Great course for its value. Always in excellent conditions. Very narrow fairways which help if you're trying to straighten your swings out. Only downside is that there are no par 5s. Other than that its a gem.
Beautiful Course!
Well maintained course that might as well be a romp through the woods. Although heavily wooded I didn't lose as many balls as I thought I would. shorter than most but hole placement makes challenging
Pond has grown up
Haven't played here in over20 years still in great shape I need to start playing it again was a very right layout in great shape good place to work on your iron play
Perfect for combination of skill levels
Played with my girlfriend and a golf buddy and the course was challenging for all of us. Truly enjoyed the day of golf at old Forge golf course.
Nice bang for the buck
Course was in good shape. The greens were a little bouncy, they were just aerated, no spotting. Tight, tough course. Don't take out the driver. Will not be needed. I would recommend
I wait 10 plus minutes for each hole
It's not a bad course to practice your short game. But it's such a small course that in the weekends you have to wait so long per hole. The reason in my opinion they let walking foursomes out on the weekends and they hold everyone up. The course is small enough and to packed. If you play I suggest playing the week days. Other then that the course is usually in great shape and the staff areally great.
Course was in excellent shape great job to the staff.
Wow is all I can say the course was perfect and pace of play was super fast. It was a great day out.
Hometown Green
Forge Pond is one of the first places I have ever played and is located a few minutes away from my house. I will start off by saying that it is not at all my first choice, nor is it somewhere I would recommend an experienced golfer to play. The Fairways are SO narrow and the woods are thick so if you don't hit it straight...drop another ball. However, the course is ALWAYS in great condition and well maintained for a par 60 county course. I will always go back and play because it is the perfect place to sharpen up your irons/short game, literally forcing you to hit the ball straight and avoid trouble up by the greens. There are a couple par 4's that are definitely fun and challenging. Great rates and pace is good depending on when you start.
Nice short course, great play
The course is short, mostly par 3s and a couple short par 4s. Didn't read the length of the course before booking, but I did not regret it because this is a very well-kept course by friendly staff. Would recommend and play again. Only thing that wasn't great was VERY slow play by four guys walking ahead of us. Didn't seem like any of them ever played before, and no one was out there speeding them up so we had an exchange of words while passing them. Otherwise, very good round for me and a friend.
Great little course for iron play
At first look forge pond can look a little dwarfed being a par 60 it doesn't appeal to the masses. But it's actually a very challenging course that will certainly test your iron play. With small greens and tree lined fairways forge pond is challenging to all handicaps. The course is well taking care off for a county course. It's easy to walk and the pace of play is always pretty good. Also a great place to golf with your kid or wife .. Make sure your bring plenty of balls it's easy to slap two or three into the woods .
terrible service
I went to the course with my golf now reservation in hand for 18holes with a cart. This is due to the fact that my buddy has a bad leg, when we arrived at the course, we were told there are no more carts available, as I looked around I noticed about 50 carts behind the gate. I was still charged to play 18 holes and for 9 holes with a cart which we never recieved, the conditions were bad, and the staff was unwilling to help with anything. As a local who has played her many times, I expect to be treated with a hint of respect, which I was not. I will not be playing this course any more and I will advise others to do the same. Horrible experience!
Well designed executive course
The fairways are very narrow,so hit the ball straight. Pack extra balls because if you miss the fairway on the par fours you probably will not find your ball.Unusally long par threes for a par 60 course. Much more difficult than the average short course. Greens were a little slow the day I played.
Monday in December
Small sized Executive Course. Course looked good for Mid December. Facilities could stand to be upgraded, but for a County Course, about what should be expected.
good course
Good personals , good play, we like whis course, but no have bar in lobby
Great value
I enjoy playing this short course. It's short but fairly challenging. They keep if well maintained but the greens were quite slow. Other than that, you really can't beat the price.
A great place to improve your short game!
This is a great little course that is an essential play to improve your short game. Primarily par 3's and a few challenging, mostly dog leg par 4's. The fairways are narrow, and the greens are some of the most undulating that I've seen. The course provides a great challenge to your irons, and provides great pitching and chipping opportunities. The greens will give your putter a work out, as well. The staff here is friendly enough, and the starter keeps things well paced. We have never experienced a backup here. If you get a parks department membership as a resident of Ocean County, the prices can't be beat. A good walking course, as well.
