Hollywood Golf Club ☆ Follow

Hollywood Golf Club is home to a well renowned championship golf course designed by Walter J. Travis in 1917 and masterfully restored to its original intent by Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf Design in 2014. The 18-hole course spans 7032 yards from the back tees with a slope rating of 142. The club is nestled less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, in the town of Deal, located in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

The course is best known for its bunkering, which is extremely unique and contributes to the course's strong aesthetic appeal and character, and also features excellent conditioning, especially on its greens which are vexing and quite varied. The course features only three par-3s and three par-5s. Travis's bunkers at Hollywood are turned perpendicular to the line of play and are built above grade, meaning the golfer must play over and around them. The 12th hole is iconic, nicknamed the "Heinz 57 Hole" for the urban legend that says 57 bunkers pepper its fairway and green complex.

The club has hosted many notable matches and tournaments including the 1925 Met Amateur, the 1921 USGA Women's Amateur, the 1956, 1986 and 2002 NJ State Men's Amateurs, the 1906 and 1991 Met Open, the 1999 Met Ike, the 2006 NJ State Open, the 2007 NJ State Women's Amateur and the 2008 Met Men's Senior Open.
