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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
