Lakewood Country Club

The windswept fairways dance across classic New Jersey parkland terrain, where towering oaks frame thoughtful doglegs that reward course management over brute force. Strategic bunkering protects well-contoured greens that demand precision approach shots, particularly on the demanding par-4 finishing stretch that separates pretenders from players. This public gem delivers authentic shot values without the pretense, making it a favorite among tri-state area locals who appreciate honest golf architecture.
