About

10-14 handicap I really enjoy myself a good parkland style course with some mounded greens, but you'll never have to twist my arm to play some links golf either. I just fell in love with this game and I can't stop playing.

Really fun track

Played here the Friday prior, and decided to go back a week later. Good conditions all around, greens very receptive rolled well, and the bunkers were in prime condition which I feel is rare for any pubbies I play. Pace of play stunk a bit but that was just due to a group or two in front slacking. I'm just a fan of a course that's in good shape and tests your game, and fox fits the bill. All in all no complaints I'd play here any day.

4 hours to play 12 holes?!

4 hours to play 12 holes then we left, no ranger, no attempt to keep pace they just jammed a bunch of scrubs out in the course and let everyone wait at every tee box. 30 minutes a hole it was the worst golf experience Iv ever had and I play a ton of golf. Absolute disgrace, that being said I enjoyed the course itself greens were in decent shape, it's a fun shorter layout, but I'll more then likely never be back.

Fun golf cheap

I'm from New Jersey working out here and needed to play a few times this week. I went to cooks Tuesday, then returned Wednesday and Thursday. Can't beat it for 20 dollars playing the course by yourself. Course is in pretty darn good shape, greens were rolling very well no complaints. To finish my review, being from New Jersey it's hard to fathom only having to pay 20 dollars to play here. This quality at home is $80, it's hard to handle. But I will most certainly be back to cooks fun place!

The Gate

My buddies and I took the trip down to shore gate in ocean view. I have really been craving to play here and for January you couldn't ask for much more. The main reason I wanted to play here is the layout, it didn't disappoint. Found myself enjoying every shot. I would play here every day of the week but thats just me.

Neshanic

First time playing Neshanic on my tour around the state and it was long overdue. Staff were great hooked us on a cart, gave us waters, etc. real nice cart guy. Course conditions were prime, and greens were in great shape.If you have a choice i reccomend the lake 9. It offers great looks and tough holes I am a big fan. It was cold so we were some of the only crazies out there and we got to rip through the round which is always a plus for me. I will definitely be back.

Another morning at the Cape

Great morning AM at the Cape. I don't mind driving the full hour and a half to play this beauty. For me personally I love the layout hole after hole. More then a few holes here I can actually say would be up there on my favorite holes list I'v played in our state.

Fun course

This is a fun links layout up around freehold nj. Really fun course, well maintained, and interesting layout. In my multiple experiences it isn't exactly easy to get a tee time there, and it's a little pricey on out of county players.

Great course

Played a 648 am time with some older locals, they were a big help with some of the blind shots and hills you don't know about. Course was great, they aerated a week and a half prior and the greens were in great shape, I was very impressed. Fun links course in great shape I'll be back more then once.

Another fun south jersey course

Got out at 624 played in 3 hours 15 minutes great early am round. The course was in great shape except the bunkers to be picky. Depending on which tees you play the course plays relatively long but the fairways are wide enough to let it rip. And then the greens I was quite impressed with the quality of the greens but they gave me fits all day large undulations and some serious speed on down hillers make for a bunch of tough two putts.

Great track

Extremely fun, tough layout. Greens were prime, pretty quick, the entire course was in great shape. I was very impressed, taking the trek from Ocean county it was a total different layout and scenery then I'm used to and I loved it. I'll definitely be back more then a few times.

Fun woodland course with prime greens

Fun woodland style course, with some interesting holes and great greens. First time playing here and I have nothing but praise for how well kept the greens were. I believe it takes all aspects of your game to shoot low here, totally worth the hour ride.

Classic old style

Howell parks a nice Classic golf course tree line fair ways, quick mounded greens, and thick heavy rough. It's a great test for an avid golfer but it can be brutal when you get off the fairway. I always feel like it plays well for me but there are no gimmes here. Great course to get out there and walk, only complaints no beverage or amenities, and the staff isn't the friendliest.

Ball marks

Good food good range fun layout on the ridge/pines. It has ups and downs good bunkers and some bad ones. Some well thought out holes, some not well thought out at all, for example, hole 12 straight away par four one or two fairway bunkers on the left side of the fairway. When in said fairway bunker which is a penalty to a golfer as it is, the green is blocked by trees, fully blocked. Makes zero sense. Conditions are usually prime but the greens almost always have 100's of ball marks, so find your line and start fixing. It's most certainly worth playing here for an interesting round as Iong as the price isn't out of control.

Good old atlantis

Fun interesting layout with thick rough and some penalizing shots. The price is always right but sometimes the pace of play is not. Can't go wrong if you are looking to save money and play a challenging fun layout.

Fun golf slow play

i'v played mercer east or west a good amount of times now and the courses are great. No complaints on that front, but every time I'v played there pace of play is an issue. I play ready golf and there is just too much waiting around the oaks. With that being said if you don't mind a potentially slow round the courses are well worth your time and money.

Interesting golf check it out

I wasnt very impressed by sand barrens to say the least. Loved the greens they're huge with major undulations, the staff was very nice but I was a little deterred by the bunkers which this course is known for and they are all over the place had puddles and looked like they havent been touched since summer ended. With that being said id play again if i lived closer but its not in my top 10. Don't believe the hype though if you live closer check it out.

Fun course true to its name

This was my fourth time at twisted dune and I haven't had a complaint yet. The high points, pace of play has been great each time we had the chance to play up or slow down if we liked and the staff has been good to us. To nitpick at something they dot sell alcohol so it might not be your choice for you and your buddies to spend a day at but the golf is well worth the price. All in all twisted plays true to its name its fair to your average golfer and is always an interesting round of golf, but watch out for those bunkers!!

Hidden gem for any type of golfer

I would consider this my local course I am not a member but I have played a ton of rounds here the greens are the best part about the classic tree lined course its very playable for your low handicapper and can be pretty brutal on your beginners because its seems like the rough eats golf balls here in the open area of the tree lines but still with that being said it shouldn't play as a very difficult course. I know some of the staff personally and they're good people good food at the tartan grille, good place to play an outing. Its great for the money and usually has great pace of play.

A great experience

We were the 2nd tee time out sunday AM as a two some behind a threesome whom were locals. We didnt have to wait a shot all day long and I personally love that since I like to play faster then most. Ballamor itself is a beauty no one I know had previously played here and I think its time they do. The course its self i would use the word exceptional it has some fantastic holes and i had no complaints with the course. They have some pretty demanding prevailing winds that seemed to be into our face for nine holes which made it a little more interesting. Ballamor is a must see for your avid golfer.
