Eagle Ridge Golf Club
Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Lakewood, NJ, offers a unique 27-hole layout with three distinct nine-hole courses blending pine-lined precision, links-style expanses, and water-rich ridge terrain. This challenging yet approachable venue balances variety and strategy, appealing to diverse playing styles in a well-maintained setting.
Course Overview
Eagle Ridge Golf Club offers a compelling 27-hole experience that challenges and rewards golfers of varying skill levels in Lakewood, New Jersey. Composed of three distinct nine-hole courses—Pines, Links, and Ridge—the layout presents a diverse blend of styles that keeps each round fresh and engaging. The Pines course impresses with its narrow fairways bordered by towering pines and waste areas, demanding precision off the tee and thoughtful shot-making. In contrast, the Links side opens up with longer distances and a more expansive feel, while the Ridge brings water hazards and undulating terrain into play, requiring strategic navigation.
Well-maintained year-round, Eagle Ridge showcases a challenging slope rating of 138 on some segments, hinting at the test awaiting players. Golfers will find the course’s design encourages creativity and adaptability, making it well suited to those looking to sharpen their competitive edge without limiting casual players who appreciate a scenic, well-conditioned layout. The natural features—mature trees, rolling fairways, and water elements—add both beauty and strategic substance to the golfing experience.
The club’s facilities support a comfortable day on the links with a pro shop that stocks quality gear and a casual food hut that caters to mid-round needs. Hospitality is noted for its warmth and attentiveness, elevating each visit beyond the game itself. While the property strictly enforces cart path rules to preserve turf quality, walking is possible with well-maintained pathways; sturdy walking shoes are recommended due to varied elevation and occasional uneven terrain.
Reservations are popular, reflecting the course’s reputation and demand, so early booking is wise. While caddies are not mandatory, players seeking local course insight may find this an appealing option. A welcoming atmosphere, combined with the challenge of three diverse courses in one location, makes Eagle Ridge a destination worthy of exploration for golf enthusiasts visiting Central New Jersey.
Course Highlights
Eagle Ridge is distinguished by its three contrasting nine-hole courses that offer a range of challenges—from narrow pine-framed fairways on Pines to open, windswept stretches on Links and water-guarded greens on Ridge. This variety fosters dynamic play and strategic diversity. The course’s reputation for strong conditioning and thoughtful design has earned it a respected place in Central New Jersey golf. Modern amenities include updated carts equipped with GPS and food service options supporting an enjoyable golf day.

Played this weekend and was kind of stunned with how awesome it was. Honestly surprised to see any bad reviews at all. Perhaps it is because it was so hard? Slope is 138, which is 2 points higher than Pinehurst #2 so it's good to set your expectations prior to the round. Played all 27 and each 9 gives you a much different look. Pines is super narrow and reminded me of North Carolina with the waste areas and pine trees everywhere. Links was definitely a little more open but long and tough. Ridge reminded me a bit of twisted dunes with lots of cool water features. It is a shot makers course and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Really nice 27 hole course in Lakewood. Beautifully maintained. For the beginning of April couldnt believe how nice ERGC really is. Always want to play but it was always booked and you can see why. Plus the course cost half the money it normally does. Plays long. Has everything, cart girl, food hut, nice pro shop. If you have a chance to play here, definitely book it, you wont be disappointed.

Had an amazing round here last Monday. Course is in amazing shape. Was visiting from Florida and the hospitality was top notch. You felt like you were a member! Definitely will come back to play again next time I'm in the area next year! Thanks for the great time. There's 27 holes at this course, only had the pleasure of playing Ridge/Pines

Played here with a bunch of friends and we were disappointed for a few reasons . Nice course in decent shape with some challenging holes . However , our group had repeated problems with our golf carts stopping, on the cart path , with the notice Restricted Area . Evidently , this is a recurring problem that management has yet to address . Additionally , The ball washers at all tee boxes were removed during COVID and 5 years later have yet to be replaced . Finally , The cart path only rule has led to large fairway divots not being replaced or the ground being re-seeded !
