Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond

Tough short course..leave your driver at home.. very friendly staff

Have played this course last summer a few times as a last resort while in the area and never expect much of the course. Today was the worst time though, left after 9 due to horribly slow pace of play. 2 1/2 hours to play 9 on holes or a short executive course is wild.

Conditions are also horrible. The greens are about the only thing about this whole course that are decent in good shape and roll nice. Tee box’s are mostly dirt, the “cart paths” are actually muddy bumpy not paved dirt trails that flood somehow even if it hasn’t rained in days. Staff was pretty overly rude any time I’ve played here which doesn’t tend to bother me most places as I just breeze though and get right to the tee box or practice area.

I can’t recommend this course to anyone unfortunately. I know you get what you pay for but even for the very cheap price it’s not worth it unless you want a 5+ hour round on a 3900 yard track.

T boxes, and cart paths could’ve been better for county course

Nice value all around would like club house with food and alchol

Slow greens and tee boxes where mostly dirt cart paths rough. The good news the greens are very good shape except people should repair ball marks you can do it with a tee. The people are nice

If you think this course is gonna be an easy one, think again and you better be accurate with your irons. This is an “executive style” course of mostly par 3’s complete with narrow approaches from the tee box. There are seven par 4’s which include dog legs and one hole with only 20 yard wide gap to fit your drive in. The par 3’d range from about 100 yards to 170 yards depending on the tee box used (we used the white). If you aren’t accurate with ALL of your shots, consider your ball lost. Greens are decent size and held nicely but the pace was very slow due to fuzzy greens (perhaps to save from the high heat and low rain this area has been under for over 3 weeks now I’ll definitely be back.

Was like putting on my carpet. But aside from that great shape. Play here like 20 times a year because it's right by my house. Love it for a quick round cheap with the hot deals and golf points. Cart dropoff guy is my favorite guy here. Super nice.

It is not augusta, but for the price its hard to be beat for someone with minimal skill. Love Forge Pond!

Gorgeous day, play was slow as you really need to wait for group ahead of you to finish the hole before teeing off most holes. But what a nice track, well maintained, slow greens but very interesting green complexes. Par 3s are legit distances, some groups left after 9 and we cruised through back nine. Highly recommend this course but just be prepared to be patient as it can take some time between holes.
