Red/Blue at Ramblewood Country Club

About
For more than half a century, Ramblewood Country Club has been one of the top public golf courses in southern New Jersey. The club offers 27 holes of championship golf that are played as three different 18-hole combinations. The Red/Blue Course starts with one of the original nines from 1962, while the back nine was added 10 years later. The Red nine has large, subtly undulating greens bordered by strategically placed bunkers. Be prepared for a few forced carries over water. The challenges are nicely balanced with forgiving fairways that have generous landing areas. The Blue nine is an interesting contrast to the front of the golf course. It's routed through mature pine forests and it has tighter fairways though the greens are just as undulating as the Red, making course management the key to scoring well.

Really Solid Course
Ramblewood is a great course that I would always recommend to a friend. The course doesn't play overly difficult, although there are some challenging holes. The greens roll true and are in good shape. There are three nine hole courses here, so you can mix and match with plenty of variety. Carts are typical golf cart, no GPS. There is a practice putting green used for putting and chipping. The only knock I would give is there is no driving range. They do have a net to hit into, but there is one, and you have to go out of your way to use it. The atmosphere is laid back. I have never had any issues with other golfers here aside from slow play, but that happens anywhere. There is a bar on sight and they have cart girls for when you are on the course.
Ramblewood
For November, I know the weather is crazy, the course was in late spring shape. Hats off to the grounds crew and staff. Only gripe I had was playing white to red not red to blue. Everything was perfect I just like to play the Blue nine.
Brutal Pairing
We got a hot deal and booked as a twosome. We were paired with another twosome who were beginners and had no etiquette on pace of play.
Hit several balls on each hole, spent entirely too long looking for lost balls. We were hoping for a ranger to approach us to say something.
Never saw a ranger.
Also the dining room at the turn has to do much better getting golfers in and out in a timely matter. Our playing partners were held up over 15 minutes resulting in a back up on the second nine. Now players behind us were aggravated at us for conditions out of our control.
It’s a shame because the course was in nice shape but the above circumstances made for a long and challenging round.
The greens were so well kept and even the rough was a perfect length. Well kept grass for sure, beautiful course
Very fun course with welcoming staff. Will definitely look to be back soon
Favorite slippers
The course is like a pair of you favorite slippers. Comfortable, simple pleasures that never let me down. The conditions of the course continue to play - the latest that i noticed was the bunkers were in pristine condition. And the greens were in excellent shape and playing abit faster than on previous visits.
The bar/restaurant serves good food and has a nice selection of beers and has upgraded their bourbon and whiskey selections. The wait staff is friendly and attentive
Getting better all the tine
Course conditions continue to improve. Greens in good shape although they were a bit sandy..
Good, solid public golf course. Bar is excellent- wings were out!
Ramblewood Plays Long
From the white tees Ramblewood Red plays long. There’s a 465 yard par four. There’s a 411 yard uphill par four and a 526 yard par 5 with the approach all uphill.from 175 in. The only hole that would considered short in the finishing 9th at 131 yards.
Parkland course big hitters paradise.
Fairways
Fairways need work. Beat up. Cart paths need repsir.
