Golf at One of New Jersey’s Best Private Golf Courses

Inspired by the varied topography of the preserve, Robert Trent Jones and his chief designer and top aide, Roger Rulewich, created a 27-hole masterpiece of tree-lined fairways, well-placed bunkers to maximize accuracy and the subtly contoured greens for which Jones is internationally known. And, typical of all Jones' creations, the development of water as a playing hazard is a strategic consideration on seven holes at Metedeconk National. Extensive and multiple tee boxes - another Jones trademark - allow for unlimited flexibility and permit the course to be played at yardages ranging from approximately 5,200 to 7,200. From the championship tees, the course has a rating of 75.4 and a slope index of 146 with a par of 72.

 

Robert Trent Jones’ Designed Layout

Masterfully routed, the three nines of our private course embrace this region of New Jersey’s natural wilderness. Almost every hole is an entity unto itself. The proximity of marsh and lowland pine forest throughout provides a delightful dividend to golfers who may be fortunate enough to be joined on their round by the occasional deer, fox, muskrat or circling hawk who continue to make Metedeconk their home.

Excellence From the Course to the Practice Area.

Accompanying the championship layout is a Practice Area unrivaled in the northeast. The Practice Area boasts both a Main Practice tee and a Member-Only Practice Tee to accommodate both warm-ups and practice sessions. This area boasts multiple target greens along with several fairway routings to give even more definition to this 50 acre "game-improvement" area. Also found within the confines of the Practice Area is a Short-Game area, which allows golfers to re-create all shots that could be found on the golf course. Three target greens serve well for shots up to 150 yards. A secluded putting green can also be found adjacent to our Teaching Facility, a state-of-the-art sanctuary for Members and their guests to fine-tune their swing under the watchful eye of the Club's teaching staff.
