Golf Courses in New Jersey
New Jersey's golf landscape encompasses 160 named courses and country clubs distributed across 139 cities and 20 counties, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of official place names. These entries represent formally named facilities documented in the GNIS database, organized by their geographic location within the state.
As a federal database of named geographic features rather than a registry of active commercial operations, the GNIS listing provides a comprehensive but incomplete and potentially dated snapshot of the state's golf infrastructure. Newly established courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the directory, as the federal record undergoes periodic updates. Additionally, the GNIS database does not catalog operational information such as public or private designation, current fee structures, course layout, or accessibility details.
The directory serves as a locating tool, enabling golfers and visitors to identify courses within specific cities and counties. Those seeking to play at any particular course should consult the facility's official website for current information regarding hours of operation, green fees, membership requirements, and tee time availability.
How to use the New Jersey directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.
