Ocean Acres Country Club ☆ Follow

Ocean Acres Country Club is an 18-hole public course located in Manahawkin, New Jersey, featuring 6,563 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72, designed by Hal C. Purdy and opened in 1967. The course is situated in Ocean County, straddling Stafford and Barnegat Townships. The signature hole is the par 3, 10th hole, which offers scenic views overlooking Holiday Lake.

The front nine and back nine present contrasting characteristics—the front nine is open with generous landing areas and relatively easy play, while the back nine features tighter tree-lined fairways that make it more demanding. Water comes into play on two holes, with the par-3 10th hole featuring an island green. The front nine is characterized by tree-lined fairways with smaller greens that require sharp iron play. The back nine includes narrow fairways and right to left doglegs with limited room for error, making accuracy off the tee essential.
