8 - Hominy Hill Golf Course |
Click for Hominy Hill Detailed Page Pro Shop: 732-462-9222
Built: 1964 Description: Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones as a private golf facility, Hominy Hill was acquired by Monmouth County in 1977, but hasn't changed the class level.
The course itself is fairly open, with some mid-length par-4s that make the mature rough a very undesirable place to be. The trees aren't sparse, but are far enough off the fairway that they don't always come into play (but add to the wonderful, parkland scenery). Accuracy is a must if you plan to score well. The greens are fairly large, but are alsmot all elevated, with undulating putting surfaces. More than 120 bunkers defned both errant tee shots as well as wayward approaches, making for a challenging and enjoyable round of public golf that certainly feels private. |
