The Eagle Ridge Golf Club is situated among the lush natural pines of Northern Ocean County, and the 27-holes of championship golf course holds up pretty well in comparison to its southern brethren. Not such an uneven number either, the divvy up amounts to three nine hole courses, and you easily can shorten or lengthen around the standard 18 hole outing.
No judgment from the gallery, the open to the public spread rises to the top and inherently triangulates for your convenience. Eagle Ridge has been voted Best in Ocean County, is minutes from the Jersey shore, and centers an hour from NYC and Philadelphia. The easy access has an interesting tie to the topography too. The layout unfolded from an abandoned sand quarry that was used to build the Garden State Parkway
A grit that New Jerseyans could appreciate. So it’s only fitting that the landscape doubles in kind. Natural and rugged, the terrain features dramatic elevation shifts and grading on a curve, the slope rolls in the formation of a scorecard full of challenging fairways. But wide open, a nice margin of error reigns throughout, while the beautiful bent grass greens are easy on the eyes and silk-like smooth to the touch. Contact counts on a large scale too and has Eagle Ridge putting a premium on community and camaraderie. Partnering with numerous corporations, civic groups, and A organizations, fundraising and corporate retreats get the full treatment.
The same goes for upping your game and getting scores on the decline. The Eagle Ridge Golf Academy has programs for beginners ready to learn and veterans hoping to improve. Still, golf isn’t everything, and the club exudes extravaganza for weddings and other important life events. Thus, the rolling green landscape plays long in the backdrop and the elegant cocktail lounge, spacious ballroom and devoted wait and culinary staff take care of the short game. You just have to put aside all the chatter and be assured that the Eagle Ridge experience will speak for itself.
