Eric,


Mommouth County's municipal golf program is exemplary.  Some fine courses as well.  Was the par 61 Pine Brook?


Yes. My dad had no complaints playing there for an entire season while I was learning the game.


Monmouth county is great but NJ overall is quite good for municipal golf; 36 holes at Mercer Oaks, 27 holes at Neshanic Valley, Quail Brook, Rutgers golf course, Galloping Hill, Heron Glen, Pinch Brook, Sunset Valley, 36 holes at Flanders Valley, Berksire Valley, Francis Byrne, Rockleigh, etc.

I have probably played more munis than anyone, maybe ever.


For many through US golf history, nae munis, nae golf.


Mike, have you played Belmont GC in Richmond, VA?


Cool story here.
