So i am getting tired of the public options in around North Jersey and was looking for suggestions for a club to join and was wondering if anyone knew any in the area that are offering deals to juniors. I have been to montclair and essex and was looking for some more suggestions. Thanks!

I have been using it for public courses but getting tired of driving all over the place and the long rounds this entailed. Was looking for some private options if there were any good deals going.

Memberships have a large range of cost.  Look at Echo Lake in Westfield, NJ.  It is $40k initiation and then $10k a year.  Then you look at a place like Knob Hill in Manalapan, and things get much cheaper since it is private/public.  Decide your budget and area, and just look up the private ones around.

It's new and with the economy the way it is, they are dying for members.

Thanks for the info. Black Oak looks interesting for a buddy of mine that lives out there. I am in Hoboken so it might be a little far but really appreciate the suggestions!

Give Crystal Springs Resorts a look.  They have 7 courses that are pretty nice.  The course named Crystal Spings is very nice, and pretty tough (for me).

In that case, how about semi-prvate Emerson: http://www.emersongolfcourse.com/Emerson-golf-membership.php

I know a ton of real country clubs by you, but I'm picking course that would be easyand relatively inexpensive for you to join.

I actually played at Emerson in the beginning of the year with a couple of buddies and it was in terrible shape. The aeration stuff was dumped on the sides of the green, fairways tore up etc. Not sure if it is usually in that kind of shape but we were all put off.

Well then, all that's left are the real country clubs and you have to know someone to sponsor you and they can get pretty costly. Arcola, Ridgewood and White Beaches are a few close to you.

I'm not sure how old you are but Country Clubs where I live a Junior membership is for people 18 to 30 and they still pay the initiation fee. Not many offer memberships to juniors but rather if you have a membership your kids are included. I think where I play up to 18 is free and 18 to 22 is another $150 a month after 22 no more discount. Public courses on the other hand usually offer great junior deals sometimes as low as $200 for the year for kids under 18.

Driver: i15, 3 wood: G10, Hybrid: Nickent 4dx, Irons: Ping s57, Wedges: Mizuno MPT 52, 56, 60, Putter: XG #9

I figured there wasn't a lot left but figured itwouldnt hurt to ask. I have looked at Montclair golf club and Essex county alreadY and have a buddy who is a member at white beeches, he got a pretty good deal a year or two ago. Really appreciate the feedback from everyone being new to the forum. Thanks!

I have played both Montclair GC and Essex County CC many times, both are fine venues. Natalie gulbis plays Montclair whenever she is in NJ visiting makeup artist Bobbi Brown who's husband is a member. And famous course architect Rees Jones is a member. And Essex County is one of my favorite layouts.

I thought of one other semi-private course you could look into: Knoll West in Parsippany. The only drawback is they have outings pretty much every afternoon during the week, but if you can play in the mornings, it empty.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
