Ballyowen is definately my favorite in Jersey. Another good course (but private) is Fiddler's Elbow Country Club.

My brother played Fiddler's Elbow. He loved it. I thought it was semi-private?

I played Crystal Springs in a corporate outing. I guess it's no comparison to Ballyowen.

I think Fiddlers Elbow only has corporate memberships. The way I understand it companies pay membership fees for employees? I went with a member, but would love to go again with others. So I would love it if someone could post if they know that its open to guests...

I read some guy played every public course in NJ this summer. Something like 250+ courses.
He rated Ballyowen #1. Fildler's Elbow was in the top 10.

Hendricks Field was in the bottom 10. Go figure!

a good public course by me is bunker hill. regulation 18 hole and is very well maintained.

I grew up between S. Jersey and Philly, and as far as Jersey courses go, you absolutely can not beat the Sand Barrens. Amazing course....

Cape May National is up on my list of favorites as well, for sure.

Wow I definately am going to play Wild Turkey...I played Pine Barrens back in September and loved it but it was expensive and now its a fully private course..I cant belive that all 6 of those courses in Crystal Springs are public and the green fees are a great value.

Ridgewood is top notch. My favorite is the Forest Course at Fiddler's Elbow. Spectacular place to play.

Fiddler's is a corporate membership only. However, what some guys do is ban together, create company and join that way. In doing so, they get a great price per person per year and have access to the three courses and club house.
