Sand Barrens Golf Club

They don't sell beer to non members. Not even after your round. Greens and fairways were in good condition but too much sand. And they're not fairway bunkers they're waste bunkers. I would consider playing down the road at Avalon for half the price.

Played Monday with a group they are still aerating and top sanding most of the courses down here where done six weeks ago. Not a great layout and not in good shape. Beside stat the starter and staff acted like you where bothering them, never again!

We have eaten here many times, the food is always delicious for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is open to the public but a lot of people don't know about it, a hidden gem in Swainton.

All 3 sets of 9 holes are very similar which isn't a bad thing. $115 fee for weekend is a bit steep. I think putting out range balls would be appreciated. Nice staff. My biggest suggestion would be to correct the yardage. So many sprinkler heads, but so few are marked. One hole has a double green, there is a sprinkler head around 135, but no idea if that is to right or left green.

Public Golf Course with 27 Holes Pro Shop Practice Facility just off Exit 13 of the GSP.. Down the Jersey shore and meeting some friends for 18 holes we meet here for a quick round yesterday. Basic amenities $69.00 on a Tuesday Afternoon which was a fair price based on competition in the area. Clubs loaded greens fees paid off to the driving range $6.00 for 40 balls.. range is grass and in OK shape. Quick warm up over to practice green which is rolling very fast and hope course greens are similar. Play the West North 9 holes both very similar decent tee boxes wide open well manicured if not wet fairways as they keep watering during play. Greens are absolutely HUGE and undulating very true, fast and firm. If you don't know where to hit it then you are in big trouble. Pace of Play is excellent with movement on Front and nobody in front of us on the back. Just under 4 hours for us today. Downfalls, Course has huge waste bunkers running both sides of all fairways that are life clean and place due to rocks, pebbles etc in all bunkers. Green side bunkers are not well manicured and uneven sand and rocks. In Short I didn't like the bunkers at all. Second big problem are the Bugs. Green Sand Flies biting and nipping the entire time. Told in Pro Shop that NO bugs were not an issue and they haven't sold Bug Spray in Days.. WTH.. I was eaten alive made it very uncomfortable. Last issue was some pine straw or needles on greens far to much to have been random and it did have to be cleaned before putting. Last but no least yardages were in short all messed up. Even our GPS could not accurately place yardages and yardages on Sprinkler heads were to who knows where we kept hitting everything long. All and all a nice golf course nothing special that certainly would have been much better to play if We knew the greens and where to position your shots. With all the others in the area I'd probably pass in the future but certainly not bad.

Went there for the Friday night prime rib special. Once we were seated our waitress was very attentive and friendly and the hostess kept an eye on empty dishes on the table and asked a few times if we needed anything. Could not get an alcoholic drink unless you are a member of the restaurant. You can become a member that night for one dollar and you receive a free glass of wine or draft if you choose to do so. The prime rib was a good size portion and you got a choice of one of 3 salads, and with your meal a large baked potato and a veggie. The prime rib could have been little juicer, I didn't ask for more gravy. One of our party got the stuff flounder and it was a very good size portion and full of crab meat stuffing. Very good and the rice was very tasty.

Had a wonderful prime rib dinner, we ate outside on the deck with a phenomenal view and sunset! The special includes a delicious salad choice on Friday night and it costs $19.99. It is oneon the best kept secrets at the jersey shore!
