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.

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.

      Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits.

      For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
