Beginners golf course

Town course for beginner golfers and a hackers delight! Kids playing on the course in sandles half in the bag and driving carts in wrong fairways. If you want to teach your 8 year old how to play golf, this is the course. The people were friendly, but the course conditions were very poor. The greens were small, but reasonably maintained. For 10 bucks to play 9, who can complain, right??

Good course for those new to the game

The course has been much improved over the last few years since the township has taken ownership. I know its early in the season but the fairways and tees need help. The fourth hole was redone and is a bit of a mess. Hopefully they get it in shape before to long. The course is very short withe water on only one hole and plays fairly easily. So if you want a quick round and a place to practice your short irons at the start of the season Colonial is the course for you. The price is right with Golf Now.

Colonial terrace golf

This golf course it's really in bad shape and not only that the people don't respect the rules at all especially when they play to slow hitting the golf ball every where. I asked to move forward and they said no. Not only that but not ranger at all. For me I never return to play this course even for free.

Value, Comfort, Forgiveness

This course is an unmatched value in Monmouth County, $19 for residents, $23 for non's. The course itself is extremely forgiving, with many long straight-away fairways. This course gives you a great opportunity to work on your off-the-tee game. Whether it be driving or with an iron. The hazards are not difficult to work around. In fact, I believe there are only two water hazards, so there is little opportunity to loose your ball. I've played this course 6 times now and I've been able to narrow it down to a 4iron, 7iron, PW, and Putter. Lastly, the staff gives very much a "ma-n-pa" small business type feel. They are very friendly and not pushy at all when it comes to equipment for sale or taking lessons etc. They allow you to just do you, relax, and go at your own pace. This is the ideal spot for beginners, a true hidden gem. Also, they already aerated their greens the first week of April, so their already green fair ways, and well trimmed rough, will be joined by smooth, fast greens.

Great for a quick 9 or 18

The course is not terribly tough but it has its challenges. Hole #4 is under repair. its the only Par 5. But when its finished it should be better than before. I like it when I play with semi-beginners. But for the hard core golfer, you may like a more challenging course. Its great for me.

Very fun 9 hole course

This is a great beginner course, it was fun and most of the holes are fairly easy. Staff was cordial and as amateurs we never felt rushed by anyone else playing or the rangers. Not a lot of trees and brush in between holes so it's a lot harder to lose balls than most courses.

Better than years ago but still .....

Yes, you can find a great rate here and it is good value for the money based on that. However, you can add like $15 to a round a play a much better level of a course. This course is short although at times has woody areas to avoid. You play 9 holes twice which some enjoy - not me. Again, I got a morning walking $13 round so can't complain too much.

Nice Ocean find

Colonial Terrace is a nice little course, with friendly people. Pace is very good. greens in good condition, as are the fairways. Surrounding grassy areas pretty burned out, but rarely affect play. A few narrow fairways, but most are wide open. A great deal from Golfnow will bring an enjoyable round to you

Nice Course

This is a nice little course that doesnt get crowded at all. Its quick, a little short, but makes up for it with small fast greens. Great value for the money and a very friendly staff.
