RAMBLEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling terrain of South Jersey's Pine Barrens creates natural elevation changes that architect Edmund Ault exploited brilliantly, particularly on the par-4 14th where your approach plays dramatically downhill to a green guarded by mature oaks. Water comes into play on seven holes, but it's strategic rather than penal—the par-5 18th demands a brave carry over the pond if you're hunting birdie to close your round. This public gem offers conditioning that rivals many private clubs in the Philadelphia metro, with bentgrass greens that hold approach shots and reward aggressive pin-hunting.
