Best Golf Courses Near Colts Neck, NJ

Colts Neck, NJ may be most famous for its horse farms and Bruce Springsteen, but it deserves to be known for its golf courses as well. Private courses, including Trump National Golf Club, may be more in step with Colts Neck’s profile as an affluent and exclusive place to live and play, but if you are looking to make a tee time, the town is home to three attractive public-access golf courses. Hominy Hill Golf Course, which has a rich tournament history that includes two U.S. Amateur Public Links Championships, started as a private club but now is the jewel of the Monmouth County Park System. Routed over old farmland, this tough, wind-exposed Robert Trent Jones, Sr. layout features a whopping 138 bunkers. Pebble Creek Golf Club presents a more user-friendly game on its varied, tree-lined layout. Colts Neck Golf Club is the town’s most popular facility. It’s a links-style course with tall fescue grasses, Scottish bunkers, and large, undulating greens. Keep an eye out for a tee time discount when making your tee time. In nearby Eatontown, you may score a discount at Suneagles Golf Course, a 1926-vintage A.W. Tillinghast layout with wide fairways, small greens, and devilish bunkers. After golf, while you won’t have access to The Boss’s horse farm, you can partake in thoroughbred racing at Monmouth Racetrack. The Jersey Shore is just a 25-minute drive. If your taste swings more toward tastings, you can also toast your round in style at 4JG Vineyards or the Colts Neck Stillhouse.
