ROCK RIDGE GOLF COURSE

The rolling hills of northwest New Jersey provide a canvas that demands every club in your bag, with elevation changes that can fool even seasoned distance players on approach shots. This public track rewards aggressive lines off the tee with scoring opportunities, while punishing wayward drives into the dense hardwoods that frame most fairways. The closing stretch features a particularly memorable downhill par-3 that plays two clubs shorter than the yardage suggests, followed by a risk-reward par-5 that tempts you to go for the green in two across a menacing creek.
