Ocean County is home to many challenging golf courses. Among these are two public courses maintained by the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. In fact, Atlantis has been named one of the top 50 golf courses in New Jersey under $50 to play. While Forge Pond has been named by the APP readers, "Best golf course in Monmouth/Ocean County" for several years running.

Rates are extremely reasonable for residents of Ocean County with current Resident Golf ID Cards. Tee times are taken up to eight days in advance. Tee Time privileges are available only to those who have valid Resident ID Cards or those who have purchased Non-Resident Tee Time Cards.
