Metedeconk National Golf Club Course Review

The Metedeconk National Golf Club was founded in 1987 and the golf course was designed by architects Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Roger Rulewich, featuring 7246 yards of golf from its longest tees for a 72 par, a slope index of 146 and a rating of 75.4. The golf course sits on a beautiful piece of real estate in a secluded area located in Jackson, which is basically in the heart of New Jersey. However, the Metedeconk National Golf Club is pretty close to Manhattan, 60 miles south which means one hour drive, give or take. The owners tried hard and successful to make it look as rustic as humanly possible with the end result being an off the beaten path golf resort, with great facilities, a place which feels like youve entered golf Heaven.

When it first opened to players almost thirty years ago, the Metedeconk National Golf Club gained national notoriety for both its beauty and the golf courses difficulty. The most interesting feature are the bunkers, which display an interesting melange of jagged/lacy edges and the thick underbrush lining the fairways and surrounding the greens. Trees are also present all over the course, i.e. small oaks and pines, together with red tipped/tall fescue grasses and thorns which frame the holes beautifully, but theyre almost impossible to play out. Playing the Metedeconk National Golf Club youll be playing a true classic, due to the golf courses well placed bunkers, its tree lined fairways and the subtly contoured greens, which made Trent Jones to be internationally renowned as one of the greatest golf course architects of our times.
