Didn't meet expectations
After Playing at Atlantis, the other Ocean County Course, my expectations were marked high. After traveling to the course I was immediately disappointed, to the point where the nicest part of the course was their sign. The staff was very rude and unpleasant. I will definitely never play at this course, nor would I recommend this course to anyone.
Good for the money
Everyone was nice except the starter.....Didnt like the fact i was booked through GOLFNOW.com
Not An Easy 18
Thought the course is short, it is tight and the sand traps seem to find your ball. Third time I played there this year and as a beginner it was the toughest round.
Nice Place at the Right Price
Very tight executive course. Greens are very small. No yardage makers (that can be trusted) on the par 3s. Par 4s are very weird holes, basically have to lay up off the tee on all of them because fairways end at about 170-180 yards out. grass in fairways is very good, tee boxes are OK. grass on greens is nice but greens are extremely SLOW, they need to be cut. all in all, for the right price it is a decent place to hang out for 3 hours and practice your approach shots, the small greens are really a nice challenge.
Forged Pond
I found that the course was too easy with mostly par 3's. I have a golf gps (golfbuddy) and found that the yardage by the course was way off from my gps. Even to the naked eye, you can see that it was further than stated. Otherwise, it had very narrow fairways with a lot of trees and deep bunkers. Greens were the most fun, full of undulations.
Narrow fairways
The fairways are narrow which help to improve your short game. We moved along without any delays or hold ups and completed 18 hole in 3 hrs.
narrow fairways
Alot of challenging par 3's. Good short game practice course. Wish it was closer.
Forge Pond
It is a nice 3 par course with a couple of 4 pars thrown in. Nice quality the greens do not break at all but it is excellent for what it is.
forge pond
though its a short course with many par 3s, it was in excellent shape. much better than years past. little slow with two groups of women who appeared to be beginners in front of us but enjoyable anyway
Great shot course
For a $20/ea deal on GolfNow, this course was excellent. Had a group of walkers ahead of us that spent 5-10 minutes on each shot/looking for their ball, but once we passed them it was a quick pace.
Condition of the course was great, and although it's a par 60 course and all par 3's and 4's, it's well worth the deal to work on a short game in narrow fairways and leave the driver at home.
County Course afternoon
Have played here before and would say it is a good short game walking course. all par 3 and par 4. Some well placed bunkers and narrow fairways make it interesting. The staff in the shop failed to mention that the greens and fairways had recently been aerated, which would have been nice to know. Good value for the money either way though.
nice course
They are getting the course in good shape. They were aerating the tee boxes when we played.Its. a nice executive course.
Short, but sweet!
I had read good reviews of Forge Pond in the past and always wanted to play a round there. Got a great deal through Golfnow, so it was a good value. I was a bit unhappy with all the short holes, but it gave me a chance to use my irons more for practice. Narrow fairways made it a bit challenging. Course was in good shape and the staff was very cordial. Overall, a good experience and I will play Forge Pond again.
Par 60
Great place to work on your short game or play best ball with a foursome . Would go back again to practice on short game . There was maybe 2 other holders on course the day we were there . Staff was great
Narrow & Difficult
This is a fun short course that makes you hit straight. Great Irons practice and challenging green surface. Will Make you better with irons if played a few times. Great staff and friendly people around to help !!!
I love Forge Pond. Period
This course is well groomed, tons of trees, cool hazards, fun to play with lots of shade
Above average excutive course
It's a nice place to get some irons practice and will definitely test your accuracy with narrow fairways and greens surrounded by trees and bushes. Its a good value as long as you don't pay more than $25 so take advantage of the deals. Keep the driver in the bag, the most you'll need is a 3 wood.
Great corse. Lots of iron shots.
This is a corse that requires all iron shots and almost no drivers.
Course in great condition
This course always humbles me. Although I am not a great golfer it always makes me shoot higher then you would think you should shoot on this course. I don't use a driver only 3 wood through my irons. Short par 4's but challenging. If you want to improve on your iron game this is the place.
