Better than expected, I'll be back 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 17, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

A full 18 holes close to wildwood.Course makes good use of land, only exception is one small pond which would be fun to throw over off of a tee box. Disc catcher baskets are in good shape. Played at 8 AM on a Sunday and had the entire course to myself. Excellent course for the winter because the standing water doesn't bring any bugs this time of year.

Cons:

Hole 1 is a long walk from the parking lot, potential opportunity to add a hole or two right at the beginning of the course. Next tee signage is a little hit or miss, I think this is compounded by lack of improved tee boxes. Hole 18 is the only hole with a finished tee box, all others are natural. Could see this being pretty bug filled in the summer with all of the sitting water.

Other Thoughts:

I don't post too many reviews, but thought this course merited another positive review. In my opinion this course is significantly better than the cape may zoo course. The designers and volunteers should be commended for all of the work put into this place. I'll be back next time I'm in wildwood!

Recommended if in the area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 30, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Tight technical holes- Couple holes to let a little loose on power- Very Quiet, sounds of nature- Pretty good signage to next hole- Great mini maps before each hole- Well maintained- Nice trash cans at most holes- Good mix of doglegs and minor turns

Cons:

- Heavy brush in some of the rough- Lots of hidden water. Blends in well.- Lots of bugs (expected)- Some teepads have roots in them

Other Thoughts:

Overall I thought the course was pretty nice. Very beautiful woods and water. Most holes are pretty low ceiling tunnel shots with a slight turn or a dogleg end. Some brush is very thick with lots or thorn bushes. Definitely will test your throwing putters and midranges. Not a birdie fest with the trees but plenty to be had. I recommend stopping in if your in the area. Also it seems to be the only one in the area.

A Real Course at the Shore! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I played this course the summer it first opened... and yes, the bugs were of the hook! There were few hole signs and no defined fairways. On 4/22/17 we played (before bug season) and thought the course was great... a real 18 hole course at the Jersey Shore! Great baskets, good tee signs that included arrows to the next tee, and a well thought out layout.

Cons:

To get to the first tee you need to be a rocket scientist. It is a very long walk, and we found the first tee cause we heard voices through the trees. Lucky for us, it was a local group that plays the course often and they gave us a quick low-down. Also, there was no sign for the 18th tee, and it was the longest walk between holes... we got there because I remembered that the tee was on top of a hill/mound.

Other Thoughts:

As far as the bugs go... I am hopeful that as the course gets broken in, the flies will stick more to the woods... as it was almost unplayable in the summer. An the pricker bushes... most all courses in PA and NJ have em. Keep it in the fairway! All in all... and great addition to the shore area... I can't wait to throw there again!
