DEER RUN GOLF & PRO SHOP

The rolling terrain through mature hardwoods delivers legitimate shot values on this well-maintained public track, where elevated tees and multi-tiered greens demand course management over pure distance. Water hazards come into play on six holes, including a memorable par-3 island green that separates pretenders from players. Northern New Jersey golfers get exceptional value here, with conditioning that rivals many private clubs at a fraction the cost.
