Venue

Shark River Golf Course

Neptune, NJ, United States

Designed by Scottish golf pro Joseph "Scotty" I'Anson in the early 1900s, Shark River Golf Course is a par 71 layout measuring 6,457 yards with a USGA course rating of 70.3 and slope rating of 130 from the blue tees. Located in Neptune, New Jersey, the course features tight, narrow fairways, deep-faced bunkers, and small, well-protected greens that provide a challenging test. The hole variety ranges from a short, drivable par 4 to a long, risky par 5, with several strong par 3 holes interspersed throughout. Despite its modest length, Shark River offers a stern but fair challenge to golfers of all skill levels. The course's traditional design emphasizes precision and accuracy over distance, making it a classic example of early 20th-century American golf course architecture.
