About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6624 yards
Slope 116
Rating 71.1

Former president of the PGA of America, Leo Fraser, designed the 18-hole public course at the Mays Landing Golf Club with both advanced and beginning golfers in mind. Touted as the "best birdie for the buck," the Mays Landing golf course provides a great value for all golfers. The course was meticulously designed over 175 acres of beautiful pineland with scenic tree-lined fairways.

Mays Landing Golf Club provides an experience similar to one at a private country club with its excellent service and amenities including a pro shop, restaurant, and PGA instructors on site. On hot days they even have cool towels for you and they always have roaming beverage carts. The course is 6,633 yards at the longest tees, playing to a par of 72.

Unfortunate

The most important things to me about a golf course/conditions in order are Greens, Fairways, traps, tees, rough, staff, overall appearance and food. I’m very understanding of how difficult it must be to operate a golf course and get all these things right year after year; and as a mid/high handicap golfer on a budget, I don’t need perfection. However this course misses on all these items except for staff friendliness. Hoping that for the residents at least, this course can recover. Needs a lot of work starting with course conditions. Probably needs a lot of trees removed to restore lots of bare patches and greens.

What happened to this course?

For the past few years the Mays Landing golf course has been getting worse, but this was the worst I have ever seen it. The practice putting green should have been our first clue to turn and leave, and we almost quit after the second hole and asked for our money back. The pro shop is empty if inventory, the greens, tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers are all in horrible shape. The course looks like it’s been abandoned by the grounds keeping staff and is in no way worth the price they charge for a round of golf and they should be ashamed of themselves for how expensive it is. I’ve played at courses for half the price that were in much better condition. I will not be going back any time soon and actually wouldn’t be shocked if I heard that it closed next season. Spend your money somewhere else, this course isn’t worth it.

Good for price

People give this course a hard time, the course needs some work but for the price it's fine, front nine needs alot of work back nine is decent its obviously not a professional course but its good if you have golf habits and aren't trying to pay 150 for the day

Layout is very nice! Greens and Tee Boxes had a couple that needed work but rest in good shape. Fairways are in tough shape due to drought. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I play course regularly due to price and pace of play. Find playing early can play round in 3 hours.

This course has potential

If this course would take advantage of the creeks and rivers that runs through the course; it would help solve a need for rain. This course was so dry. It has a average to good layout. It just had no beauty. Coming in town to enjoy the ocean and board walk. Golf is my number one for relaxation. Hope Mays Landing receive a good down pour of rain so it can green up. Not worth the monies paid to play here.

They could do better…but they could do worse…

I paid about $60 to play…Tee’d off at 11:45 and wrapped up under 4 hours which was nice…but the bunkers aren’t maintained, lots of dead grass and patchy areas…the greens were good though…tee boxes were good. If you’re looking for a cheaper price compared to other courses in the areas, you should go here. Lower your expectations and enjoy the fact you’re golfing and you’re gonna be pleased…expect Harbor Pines or Twisted Dunes and you’ll be disappointed.

Wow

Wow. This course was bad last year but manageable. This year they didn’t even mow the lawn. I played here on Memorial Day weekend. You’d think they would run a lawn mower over the fairways. Disgusting playing conditions. And at 45 per round per person it’s honestly like stealing. I can play our municipal course for the same amount and the course layout and conditions are 10 times better

A little good, a whole lot of bad.

The good:
Friendly staff, carts in good condition with auto parking brake, good practice green and short game area. Greens in decent shape.

The bad:
Everything else. “Fairways” and tee boxes in abysmal condition. Weeds and dirt, that’s pretty much all you get. Rough is just overgrown weeds, leaves and sticks. Difficult to play well here.

Found a “deal” for $24 and even that was a little overpriced for the conditions. The layout is decent albeit a little uninteresting. Place as a lot of potential but is in bad shape. Good news is that we had the course to ourselves on a beautiful spring day but that’s bad for business and I can see how they may not have the funds to get this course up to snuff.

Mays Landing needs help

Love this course but, not being taken care of now. Greens are okay But. Everything else is not. Grill is closed and even the bathrooms on and off the course. Need to be repaired and maintained.
Hopefully, next season will be better. No returning any time soo

Course not in great condition

I heard the course was searching for new ownership. Course was in pretty bad shape. Not worth what we paid for. Has potential but needs a lot of work.

Ok, but better courses in area

Greens were slow, looks like they were aerated less then 2 weeks ago, fairways could use more grass. Clubhouse person very nice, No ranger, pace of play was slower then usual.
