LBI National Golf & Resort

Great layout and design.
Overall, one of the better courses in south Jersey.
Although you cannot quite blame them for worse than average conditions due to lack of business, just feels bad to encounter bare patches of dirt everywhere.
Would return time and again.

Played this course after booking a hot deal. Par 5's were shorter than I was expecting but no complaints, decent shape for the end of the season. Greens played tricky because of the aeration done the previous week which caused a few putts to bounce rather than roll. Would recommend to a friend or colleague to play in the future.

The couse was disappointing the conditions were very poor plus the fairways and greens were aerated which added to the poor conditions. The course is not player friendly for someone who doesn't play there often the carts don't have GPS and there isn't much help in determining if the traps or hazards are reachable or carryable so it makes for unsure shots and poor scoring. In addition the starter advised it was cart path only , however while playng and walking everywhere it didn't seem wet enough to warrant path only golf. When we were playng the 18 hole we noticed that the players on the first and second holes were driving on the fairways , so apparrently the restriction was lifted however no one including the rangers we saw advised of the change so four 70 year old guys are tired.

A little out of the way, but worth the trip. Course was in very good condition and staff very friendly.

Everything about this course could be great. It has a beautiful, albeit simple layout. Staff was friendly, food and drinks were cheap and readily available and the surrounding environment is very pretty.

However, the conditions of the fairways were deplorable and combined with the aeration of the greens on the day I played, made for a frustrating day. Also, being the first time playing the course, it was very difficult to know which way the next hole is, with no map and few signs. I also love to walk, and this course was designed specifically for carts...way too much distance between holes.

Heavy rain the day before, but still allowed carts on fairways... bad idea! Very wet in many fairways. Course had front nine closed for aeration, requiring you to play the back twice. They were still charging $77 on a weekday morning! No rangers anywhere and saw the cart girl only once in 4 hours and 20 minutes. I thought the course was much better when I played there 5 years ago.

Played it twice last week while vacationing in NJ. Course was in great shape with generous fairways and putting greens had good speed to them.

Definitely good value in afternoon.

Highly recommend !!

Challenging course especially when the wind kicked up. Greens are true and in great shape. A lot of challenging hills on greens where pins were placed. Fairways were pretty beat up and could use some attention. Nice course to play if your staying in lbi

Very nice facility, extra challenging to play the first time, shot location would be a huge help the second time around.

It's a nice layout, fairways are cut tight and greens are fast but fair. But for a course that has many bunkers you would think they could maintain them. I don't mind spending close to a hundred bucks for a round of golf especially on a Sunday in the summer, and I have reasonable expectations. But for that kind of money I expect all elements of the course to be paid attention too. I had a good round going and will blame a bunker with a trench running through it from rain that was not raked and left my ball up against the sod in an unplayable position that lead to a double, I expect that for 50 bucks, not a hundred. I'd say 3.5 stars if it was an option.

Normally, this is an excellent course, depending on what rate you get. However, is was in terrible condition this day. The cups were not changed, water in bunkers and not raked, parts of fairways air rated and in bad condition. Some of the greens had disease too. No excuse for a Saturday to not do any maintenance prior to a busy weekend of play for these prices.

We're both mid-20 handicappers and found the course enjoyable and competitive. Mostly generous fairways. #16 is the killer. Greens, in particular, are like carpet. Lovely surroundings.

Course was not in good shape. Took some rain in the morning. For the money I would play elsewhere. Does have some pretty cool holes.

First one out in the morning super fast greens beautiful layout

Fairways are really chewed up and burned out, but the greens are still OK. Pretty good layout, a little tricky in some spots your first time around. Fairways should be better in the fall.

Challenging long par threes on back nine. Decent pace of play.

Note, the playing time was greatly influenced by the need to keep carts on the cart paths only due to very heavy rains within the previous 48 hours. The crew did a very good job to get the course playable.

The tee boxes and greens are in great condition. Some of the fairways were/are damaged on a few holes. Limited damage, not enough to discourage play. Overall- the course has some challenging holes. It played fairly short from the white tees 6300 ish yards. The fairways tighten and sand traps are strategically placed to catch wayward shots. Would give 5 stars if fairways were plush and rocks removed from the sand traps. I would value round worth $60-$65.00 at this time.

I had trouble booking the tee time on line and had to call. May have been a server problem at the time. The web site showed tee time availabilty but some were not available on the phone.

Sea Oaks has a great layout and the hot deal I got from golfnow made it well worth the 35 minute drive to get there. It was a little more busy than I would have expected for a Tuesday mid afternoon round but the pace was still reasonable. The only reason I chose not to award a prisiine condition rating is through no oversight on the part of the grounds crew but rather on the golfers who choose not to fix their ball marks on the greens. All in all I enjoyed the round and would recommend Sea Oaks as a course to visit.
