Looking to do a southern Jersey late September to early October golf trip, any suggestions?
Every spring we go down to Ocean City Md from the Lehigh Valley, PA. We figured on trying southern New Jersey in the fall. We have a foursome and will most-likely find an airbnb nearby. Any information on booking agents to make the golf tee times in advance, best location to…

Going down this weekend for a work event, I can get a tee time at either Twisted Dune, Ballamor or Seaview (the pines course). I haven’t played any of those 3 recently and they always come up, just wondering if I could get any outside opinions. I’ve already played the Bay course…

Golfing all 50 states, any advice as I prepare to embark in September to the Northeast?
I’ve recently become a Digital Nomad. Since golf has become my passion, I now hate winter. Back in July I decided to pack my apartment into a storage unit, and load the essentials in my car and visit family/friends in FL, IN, OH. As I was driving I thought I might as well play…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Twisted Dune Golf Club is lauded for its beautiful, challenging links-style layout and excellent course conditions. Golfers appreciate the unique design and the demanding test it presents, though some find the greens exceptionally fast and the course length intimidating. Despite the difficulty, many consider it a great value and a must-play in the region.
"Twisted Dune was tougher than I expected, but once I found my rhythm, it turned into a really fun round. The course is beautiful, with a true links-style layout and great conditions. We had a minor issue early on with a ranger concerned about pace of play, though we were actually being held up by a slower group ahead—no big deal. The rest of the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I’d heard the greens were lightning fast, but they rolled reasonably—definitely slower than most private tracks I’ve played. For the price and location, it’s a great value. I’d definitely play here again."

"Twisted Dunes is hard! Excellent and extremely challenging design. This may be one of the most difficult golf courses I ever played. Tricks of the eye make approaches and tee shots intimidating. Sometimes expansive tiered greens and narrow to wide angle plays made every shot a true challenge. Also, it’s a little long: some par 4’s from the whites even with a great drive result in a long iron onto the green and some par 3’s may be out of reach for some who play from the whites. The facilities were much better than other reviews reported. I brought my own drinks but I didn’t have to. Cart girl. Dirt paths on both sides of each hole makes the wide fairways easier to deal with and play goes faster, but still allow 5 hours to play. Long fescue areas, plenty of water to hit over, and waste areas. Great mix. Most traps look like the bottom of your aquarium, but a few have real sand. Very high on my list of golf courses to play if you are in the area. Love the challenge! Makes me want to come back."
