Spring Meadow Golf Club

I hadn't played here in years, but it used to be my most frequent course about 15 years ago. Seeing a good price on GolfNow was the inspiration to return and I'm glad I did.

Rain for a few hours up to my tee time had made the lower parts of the course take water, and the rain continued for 2 holes into my round. There was a silver lining in those clouds, because the cancelation of carts for the day made every other reservation cancel. I had a handcart in my car, said "no problem, do you have a sturdy towel in the pro shop" the staff member returned with a beach towel I could use and return after the round. His comment was to the effect of "Here are 3 balls to use to make up for the cart being canceled, since no refund on a discounted booking that is cheaper than stated rates for walking the course. You have it to yourself, play the holes any order you like."

So I loved my golf outing for 1. Best ratings possible. I played 1-5, hit tee shot(s) to the lower lying 6th fairway, then decided to play #5 again followed by #16 to allow the water more time to drain back into the areas of #6 that were waterlogged. I returned to my 2 driest tee shots from the 6th and played the remainder of the course without encountering any water holding in the playing areas I walked into uphill to the turn, and throughout the rest of the round with the exception of sand traps which had become waterlogged. Holes 16-18 were in perfect condition by the time I finished about 20 minutes from sunset.

I played 20 holes in total in a little over 5 hours unlike any I had ever played.

Pace of play is good if you get out early. The greens were very fast today, keep the ball below the hole.

Great Layout..coursenis.in good shape..winds though the wood next to Allaire.state.park. Nice restaurent with bar for.apres golf.

Nice course at a reasonable price. Historically tee boxes have been a mess but for time of year I’d say there about average now.

Lots of regulars here. Staff very friendly.

It’s a little short but although not the stiffest challenge in Monmouth County certainly some interesting holes.
