Built: 1999 Description: Built on the rolling hills and wooded expanses of Monmouth County, Mark Mungeum has designed a nice mix of golf holes here to create a atmosphere that feels exclusive and provides and excellent and enjoyable test of golf.
The most prominent feature throught the course would be the large, undulating, bentgrass greens. Because the course is kept in such good shape, they are normally very fast and can create havoc if you find yourself in the part of the putting surface. They are also guarded by some bunkers that, although not too deep or punishing, create a need for strategy and course management. Adding to the ambience is also the abundance of small ponds and fescue grasses. Although normally off the beaten path, the grasses frame fairways and greens to make for an aesthetically pleasing round, where the water comes into play on a couple holes yet isn't too intrustive. The front nine is definitely more open, built on the gently rolling terrain with few trees, with the back nine tightening as it is routed through the more wooded areas of the property. Overall, it's a great mix of golf holes for all levels. Reader Comments: Deceptively challenging despite its length ... Interesting par-3’s, ultra-fast greens ...
