Ash Brook Golf Course

This is a beautiful, though challenging due to length, course..

I was really ready for a nice cold cocktail after 18 holes and to my surprise, the tavern was closed !

As someone else mentioned, this tavern seems to be used for a lot of private events.

This was the case i encountered. It was used during the day and closed afterwards.

The place was already set up for another private event that was scheduled for the next day.

Very disappointing.

You could see the beautiful clubhouse in the distance when you are on 18,,,,,and then realize it's just a mirage ! LOL

Why does a golf course tavern course the kitchen on a Friday night at 8pm in June!!!! Its a joke. Profit and revenue is not a concern as its run by the county. Such a shame..

Been playing this course for years. Ever since they took over, Kemper Sports have been making improvements every year (cutting down lots of trees, improving drainage, new clubhouse, etc). Yes, pace of play can be bad, and yes, leagues can eat up weekend AM tee times, but it’s not as bad as some reviews would make it. Greens are large and in good shape. Clubhouse is new and is well-equipped. It’s the less popular sister to Galloping Hill. Not tricked out and the layout of Ashbrook is going to favor the average golfer than Galloping Hill. Be wary it rains—the course can get swampy and it will close even with what would appear to be an average downpour.

This course is absolute dog trash the fact the owners still charge 70 bucks to play at 4pm or even 70 bucks anytime is outrageous whoever makes the prices should be arrested for robbery the layout is trash the fairways patchy and the greens are trash the owners need to wake up

+Course is in poor shape.

+Cart path is a hazard

+Staff is not friendly

+Social distancing and staff face coverings are scarce.

+The Tavern restaurant is closed for private events more than it is open for golfers looking for a 19th hole.

Very poor conditions, not in great shape , over priced, will not go back

Friendly and accomdating staff, greens in good condition, although it would be nice if golfers helped out with the green divits. Fairways nicely cut, wide fairways and challenging placements of the tee boxes. Nice course. Lots of nature allowed to grow. Though a little pricey for me, it's a nice play and I will be back.

Extremely slow - marshalls are non-existent -they're retired individuals who just don't care and will combat any criticism with "it's above my paygrade", "fill out the post-round survey", "talk to Kemper/Freeholder's"

I hate that this course doesn't want to take substantive measures to combat slow play. Yes, you'll turn off (hopefully improve) certain individuals but being known as a 4:45+ course is worse, long term.

Absolutely not worth for out-of-county players. Go to Monmouth County.

Played here a few times recently and the course is in great condition. Fairways good, greens rolling really nice and rough penalizing without being too harsh.

Reading some of the reviews I wonder do these guys have a clue what they are talking about? Probably too much time on the couch watching PGA and expecting tour conditions for there $32 green fee!

There are a couple of fairways that seem to get soft after rain, but of you hit the ball more than 150 yards you avoid the wet patches

All in all great course considering amount of foot traffic it gets. Only negative is pace of play. Again too many guys with yardage lasers.....when you have to use your laser 6 times on the same hole you may want to consider a different hobby! They should have rangers on the course pushing guys to play faster.

The starter was a little rude. Yelling at some golfers but everyone else was very nice. I would definitely play there again

The old man at the entrance who checks the reservation is very rude and talks down to people. The rough is very long and it's very easy to lose balls.

The new putting greens are great, the course was nice, they are in the process of removing trees and putting in new irrigation to help drain the fairways that had a flood issue in the past. All in all had a decent round for the second time out all year and the staff was great.
