Gambler Ridge Golf Course

With beautiful scenery, a friendly staff and a fun golf layout, Gambler Ridge Golf Club remains a favorite venue in the central New Jersey area. The golf course, which opened in 1985, is a par-71 that plays 6,347 yards from the back tees. There are three other sets, starting at around 5,000 yards, though, which makes it a good time for all levels of players. This thoughtful design incorporates rolling fairways, manicured greens and strategically-placed sand bunkers, and water features. Rated four stars on GolfPass, the course is also a good value. The layout exhibits a great variety of holes. The 321-yard par 4 13th, for example, is a great risk-reward holes. This dogleg left wraps around a lake, so big hitters can try to get it near the green, while the more conservative play is an iron down the middle of the fairway. A strong finishing stretch includes the 402-yard, par-4 17th. The course's no. 1 handicap hole, no. 17 is long and straight. In addition to the golf course, Gambler Ridge also has a driving range and putting green. Lessons are available from the golf professionals at the club. The clubhouse includes a well-stocked golf shop with the latest in apparel and accessories. And the clubhouse restaurant, which is open daily, has a full-service bar and grill with a wide variety of items on the menu. Guests can enjoy cornhole games outside, or throw darts, shoot pool or watch sports inside. There are also banquet rooms. And while the club welcomes public play, memberships are also available.
