I’m looking to plan a golf trip to South Jersey and I’m on the hunt for the best golf courses in the area. I’ve heard a lot of great things about some of the courses, but I want to get the scoop straight from fellow golf enthusiasts.

Recommendations Wanted

Can anyone recommend public golf courses that offer a fantastic experience? I’m particularly interested in:

  • Course conditions
  • Availability of amenities (food, practice areas)
  • Overall vibe (friendly staff, pace of play)

Notable Courses to Consider

I’ve done a bit of research and come across a few names that keep popping up:

  1. Pine Valley Golf Club - While it’s mainly known as a private club, any insight about it is appreciated.
  2. Atlantic City Country Club - I’ve heard this one has a stunning views.
  3. The Links at Brigantine Beach - I’ve seen good things about its coastal layout.
  4. Expectation Valley Golf Course - How does this one compare with the others?

Why South Jersey?

I’ve always been intrigued by the golfing scene in South Jersey due to its variety of courses and beautiful landscapes. I’d love to hear any personal experiences, especially if you’ve played at multiple places. Also, if there are hidden gems or affordable options that come highly recommended, please share!

Thanks in advance for your help in narrowing down my list. Looking forward to hitting the fairways soon!

You both mentioned great ones! Don’t forget about the Woodcrest Country Club. It’s known for its great greens and friendly atmosphere.

Pine Valley is iconic! I’d recommend checking out Laurel Creek too. The layout is fantastic, and it’s quite peaceful.

I’ve heard good things about Woodcrest! How are the prices there compared to Pine Valley?

Prices at Woodcrest are reasonable; usually under $100 for a round. Definitely a great value compared to Pine Valley, which is very exclusive and pricey.

That sounds promising! How about the condition of the course? I prefer courses that are well-maintained.

Booking at Woodcrest is straightforward! They have an easy online system. I’ve never had issues getting a tee time.

That’s a huge plus! How does Woodcrest compare with courses like Eagle Ridge or Atlantic City Country Club?

Eagle Ridge is a solid option, but I find it slightly less challenging than Woodcrest. Atlantic City Country Club has a historic charm but isn’t always in the best shape.

13

Agreed! I’ve played AC Country Club, and while it’s charming, there are better-maintained courses out there.

What about some hidden gems? I love discovering lesser-known courses that surprise me!
