PINE RIDGE GOLF COURSE - LAKEHURST

The sandy soil of central New Jersey's Pine Barrens creates ideal drainage and firm conditions that reward aggressive play through towering stands of native pine and oak. Strategic bunkering forces precise iron work into elevated greens that slope dramatically toward water hazards on five holes, while the par-5 finishing stretch demands course management as much as distance. This Donald Ross-influenced layout proves that public golf in the Garden State can deliver championship conditioning without the country club pretense.
