[Mea92]

Well, here is a pretty comprehensive list of them, broken down by county -- http://www.new-jersey.com/col/golf/

I have only golfed in state at the Cranbury Golf Course and the one off 130 north of burlington whose name I forget right now - Sharon Road.

Ooh lala, you live in new jersey? Finally, a fellow jersey native.

 

[sang337]

i've played at cranbury as well

if you live in northern jersey, you should try ballyowen, wild turkey, crystal springs, great gorge or black bear.

if you live near atlantic city.. i've played at blue heron pines and going to the seaview marriot in a couple weeks.

 

[Vision.Pro]

well i'm in South Jersey, around philly, so i play at Pennsauken, Pitman, Westwood, Wedgewood, and Riverwinds for the most part

 

[Rameek]

Crystal Springs and Black Bear I really wanted to play they are suppose to be challenging but since I am leaving the country soon dont think I will ever get that chance... I like wild turkey
There is one that we played a few times the name escapes me but its nice...

Does anyone know of a place in central jersey for a first timer??? Maybe an easy pitch and putt course, or a driving range that has a green or two for practicing putting????

Yeah I played Seaview Marriot last year (Bay course). Those black flies bit me to pieces. Ever wonder what those large netted black boxes are for? They are fly traps.

I didn't play the woods course.

I really enjoyed the Morris County courses. Flanders is nice but Fiddler's Elbow took the cake.

I played at Ridgewood CC in Paramus area... also a beautiful old style course.

The most fun is the Arizona courses.

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

 

[blue3715]

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.

 

[duffer79]

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...

 

[blue3715]

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!

 

[CoreyNJ827]

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

 

[ghost]

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.

 

[jho786]

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.

 

[Hogan]

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

 

[Hogan]

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.
