There were some open tee times so we were allowed to go off early, ensuring we got our round in before sunset. As usual the course was in excellent shape. The starter was friendly and helpful; it's always a pleasure playing Eagle Ridge!

Over the last few years, NJ has given up management of this course and it has greatly improved. They started with some infrastructure (drainage) projects, improved the greens and now are getting to the tee boxes. The greens were a bit long and slow, but in nice shape. The rest of the course was in very good shape, too. Kudos to the superintendent and the maintainers!

The Atlantic Golf Management Company has managed the course for New Jersey now for a few years and have brought it back. The greens are in great condition, albeit a bit slow for my taste. I think they keep them a bit long for durability and resistance to heat. The fairways are equally nice and eventually the teeing grounds and some esthetic improvements will finish the rehab. It's evident they are rolling a lot of money back into the course!
