Old Orchard Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1929, Old Orchard Country Club has a classic design with challenges that stand up to modern golf courses. Throughout the course, you'll see traces of the site's former use as a farm. Ancient apple trees from the original orchard frame many of the holes. The diverse layout will test you with a variety of different shots but the gently rolling terrain makes for an easy walk. Skill and strategy will be generously rewarded but it's not an overly punishing layout for the high handicapper. Old Orchard's greens play true and fast and they are often flanked with strategically positioned bunkers. A stream wanders through the golf course, coming into play on several holes. Golfers will face a tricky island green on the par-5 seventh hole as well as an almost-island green on the par-4 13th.

Old Orchard
Course is a shell of its former self. Needs a rescue by a new owner with the wherewithal to spend the necessary money to provide the TLC that is so desperately missing .
Save your money!
This is a sad example of a corporation that just doesn’t care about the customer. They have a lot of guts charging $70 to play this course and when management was asked all they could say is well Suneagles charges 100+. There is no difference between the tee box, fairway, or rough. All crab grass! The greens are long and look like they havent been rolled all season. The sand traps look like they haven’t been groomed since covid started. Beer bottles left on the course from the previous day. This place is a nightmare. If your desperate for a place to play, the driving range is more enjoyable!

Terrible
Flags weren’t even in the hole and the tee boxes were horrible. Couldn’t tell where the rough was versus the fairway. Horrible experience. Greens not cut either.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Worst Course Ever Played
Stopped playing here years ago because of the deteriorating course conditions. We decided to try it again, and it was worse. Pulled into the parking lot at 10:15 and there were seven cars in it. That was a clue. Burned out weed-infested fairways, green mowed too high to prevent them from burning out, crab grass part of the landscaping plan, ground so hard that it was a struggle to insert a tee (and clubs would just bounce off the fairways). Gave it a five star rating for pace of play because there was no one else on the course.
Just do the golfing world a favor and sell the course to developers for housing.

Used to be great
Every fairway was basically the rough. 3/4 of the greens burnt to a crisp. Putting over burnt to not to burnt. Tee boxes are 1-2 high in weeds.

Shame what was once a decent track
Just horrendous condition. There was literally nothing but weeds on the tee box. Fairway had more weeds. Green were slowest that ever experienced. Just horrendous.

Horrid
This was easily the worst golf course I have ever played. The greens were all burnt out. The tee boxes were overgrown and unkempt.
Hello, u314159957557. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for your recent experience.
We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain and hope to fix these problems soon!
Needs new ownership
The course has the potential to be amazing, but it seems they have a lack of funds to upkeep the property. The course layout is similar to Sun Eagle, and the staff are extremely friendly.
Hopefully a new owner or investor will come in to help rebuild the course because it does have the potential to be amazing. Unfortunately for now, good luck finding your hall even on the fairway because this place looks to be mowed once a week.

Not worth the money
My cart died on the second hole - they came to change the cart saying, they can‘t say whether a cart is charged or dying soon.
There were kids playing in front of me having no idea about golf or etiquette. No starter or anybody else who controls what is going on.
The course is in a very bad condition. Not worth to spend any money there if you want to play golf. If you just want to have fun in a group, may be it’s the right place to go but not for a serious round of golf. It’s definitely the last time I was there also I‘ve tried it again and again over the last years.

Rough shape
This course is not maintained at all. Has crab grass on the greens and they haven’t been cut in forever. Fairway is basically just grass as are the tee boxes. Play elsewhere.

Hi, markm95. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Old Orchard Country Club!
Terrible maintenance and overpriced
I’m sorry but they have no right charging what they charge for this course, the fairways were badly kept, overgrown rough everywhere and some of the worst green maintenance I’ve ever seen in ocean county…. Not to mention the carts are in crap condition and are never charged… had to swap at the turn the last 2 times I played here…Stay away from this dump if you can it’s not worth the price tag….

DON’T DO IT!!!!!
Hands down, the worst course I’ve ever played!! No tee boxes, no fairways, and greens are trash!! Didn’t see one maintenance person, and it showed!! I feel like I just got taken advantage and of!!. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging people any amount of money to play there, especially $65!!!
