I've lived in Jersey City/Hoboken for about 6 years and I can honestly say that without a car, you're going to struggle. In my two summers without a car I played the least golf of my life. There are very few decent courses within an hour, although once you get an hour away, the golf is abundant and the options are quite good.

After struggling the past two years to find a regular place to play, I've recently joined Glenwood CC in Old Bridge. It's a 40 minute drive from JC, I can always get on the course, and it's a really friendly place (no pretentious as many CCs are). It's quite possible that you could store your clubs there and take the bus, which is what several members do. Pretty sure there's a bus that runs straight from Exchange Place down the Parkway to Route 9 and the stop is right on the corner of the club entrance. If you want me details send me a PM, cause they've even got a great deal going right now for guys under 35 (not sure how old you are).

If you're looking for some more casual golf where you can play a couple times a year, I can give a few of the better options I've found. Give me an idea for what you're looking for in terms of difficulty, price, distance, etc.

Driver: Nike Covert Tour | 3W: Callaway X Hot Pro | Irons: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro X100 SS | Wedges: Vokey SM 54-08, Vokey Raw 60-12 | Putter (of the week): Arnold Palmer "The Original" 33"

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.   
    • Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.

    • Day 22: played 18. Shot okay - 80 - but long game was bad. Saved by some good putting and short game. 
    • Well that's about the dumbest thing I've read today.
