Calling all golfers! Grab your clubs and get ready to play!
The subscription service GolfPass has named the 20 most popular golf courses in New Jersey — and three are at the Jersey Shore.
To be considered for this year's list, according to Golfpass.com, courses had to meet requirements such as offering public access and receiving at least two reviews in 2023.
The courses were rated and evaluated by analyzing reviews against GolfPass' Ratings Index logic, weighing newer reviews with a course's average in various categories, including pace of play, staff friendliness and off-course amenities.
