LBI National Golf & Resort

I was very disappointed. Apparently the new owners have not been able nurture the course after the long closure.. The local county course is even in bettert condition. Additioinally, I saw no ranger to keep pace of play going and not work activity on the course in spite of it's condition. The price is much to high. Perhaps I will try again

Course was in rough shape. Bare lies, slow greens due to aeration.foursome in front had at least 2 holes open in front of them. Thank goodness they only played 9. The fees are exorbitant for a course in this shape. Needs a lot of work to get back to what it was.

Most interesting layout I have played in LBI area. Tree lined, not narrow, but traps and uneven lies everywhere. Some water and elevation changes.

Glad course has reopened… conditions not perfect, and had recently aerated greens… but I think it will become a gem and highly recommend it.

The golf course was acquired by the owners of the Renault Winery, long time golf course operators. They have plans to get the course in top notch condition (which will take a couple of seasons) and renovate the clubhouse/restaurant, among other things. I look forward to seeing how LBI National progresses over the coming years and will support the venue during their journey. My only fear is the course will become so popular that the rates will increase and play will take longer. In the meantime, they're the best course in the area and I plan to make it my "home course."

So much potential. Course needs tending. I bet next year it will be grand. Lots if work to do

I paid $125 for two people teeing off at 4 with a cart. It was empty and the starter was nice about letting us play without the other two people who they originally tried to pair with us. Greens were very fast and there is a lot of geese crap and bunkers. A ton of hills and weird drop offs but relatively open for the most part. I’d come back but only during hours I know it’ll be quiet.

After 2 years of closure and only being open for 5 months, this course is extremely playable.

Give it a chance. LBI National will be a top course in the area.

Cool logo too!

Trying to restore a very good challenging layout but a lot of work left to be done

Played the course with my wife and had a very enjoyable round

I would recommend this course to people staying on LBI

PRO’s flat tees, fast undulating greens, challenging track

For $59 decent value

CON’s needs tender loving care , needs better signage

Plenty of bunkers with

UNUSED rakes

Course needs alot of work, not worth 100 bucks a round.

LBI National aka Sea Oaks is one of South Jersey's best tracks. The challenge and the layout never disappoint. That being said, after 2+ years of being closed and financial limbo new owners reopened around June 1st and the course is coming back to life. The bad- the new owners finalized their purchase in May 2022 and were not able to make course condition improvements after the spring growing season and the summer heat has effected conditions. The course is playable but needs tlc. Greens are good but not healthy and they are losing the fairways. The clubhouse has not reopened and they do not have any food or drink for sale yet. They do however charge NJ summer shore rates, $75 to $100 a crime for the condition of the course and amenities. Hopefully, they will repair the course conditions and reopen a great clubhouse bar then this fine layout will earn the premium price.

Decent course though the need to fix the very 1st hole. Opens with a par 5 with unclear landing areas and random bunkering - fix it!!!! Got nice after that…… needs grooming more but greens in good shape….. no food or drinks yet so bring a cooler….

They could fix this nice if they do it right!!!!

I realize the course has been closed for a number of years, and the staff is diligently working to get conditions to excellent conditions. As of now, the course is in good condition and will need more time. The $90.00 rate is a bit excessive. I will return next year when the grass has been given more time to grow.
