The Course You Have to Play When You
Visit The Shore!
From the very first tee at Sand Barrens Golf Club in Swainton,
NJ., youâll understand what all the accolades showered on
this extraordinary course really represent to you as a golfer.
As you travel our lush green fairways, you know this will be an
incredible round of 18 holes. Youâre embarking on one of the
greatest golfing adventures on the Jersey Shore at Sand
Barrens Golf Club, one that will
stun you with its natural beauty of stretches of sand flashing
against a backdrop of emerald green. Youâre going to find
unusual fairways, bunkers and sandy areas that will test your
irons, your woods and your strategies on hole after wonderful
hole. For year after year in its short lifespan, our three
nines, created by the team of Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry,
have won honors and high rankings from such publications as Golf
Digest, GolfWeek, Golf Magazine and the Zagat Golf Guide. The
reason is simple: This is a first-class resort-style layout that
will be almost impossible for you to find anywhere else for many
miles around. Our courses were designed with five sets of tees
to accommodate every level of player. Everyone from novice to
seasoned veteran can experience the excitement of Sand Barrens.
Sand Barrens is a must-play, 27 holes of pure bliss, that you
need to experience for yourself. After you play one 18-hole
combination, youâll want to come back to play another. Our
semi-private club is conveniently located between Avalon and
Cape May, and weâre easily accessible off the Garden State
Parkway. And if you plan to stay in the area for a while, think
about becoming a member with us as well.

Where should I begin? From the awe
inspiring clubhouse to 3 incredible nine hole layouts, Sand
Barrens Golf Club truly is a gem at the Jersey Shore. As
referenced by it’s name, there are plenty of sand traps and
waste bunkers, you may want to work on your bunker play before
you arrive. I love the oversized greens, they’re always
soft, receptive & fast. Just a short drive down the Garden
State Parkway from Atlantic City and all other South Jersey
shore points. Check out the Awards & Recognitions below. |

resort layout thatâs the closest thing youâll find to a desert
course in this part of the country and Dana Fry managed to pull
it off without creating a course that feels too gimmicky.”

Sand barrens Golf Club has three nine
hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole
combinations. The courses are situated in the Pine Barrens,
which is a sandy-based soil area. The layouts include
twenty-five acres of sand surrounding the fairways, tee boxes
and greens. The courses are visually intimidating with wide,
flat fairways and several trees lining the course. The greens
are large and undulating, making precise putting important to a
good score. Alcohol is available for members only. The
6,260-yard men’s tee for the South & West Course also has
a ladies’ course rating of 75.3 and slope of 138. The 6,462-yard
men’s tee for the West & North Course also has a ladies’ course
rating of 76.6 and slope of 135. The 6,304-yard men’s tee for
the North & South Course also has a ladies’ course rating of
75.7 and slope of 137. "GOLFWEEK" selected the South/West Course
95th among "America’s 100 Best Modern Courses". |
