 Still Good Value, Oct 31, 2009

| This course is great value for Ocean county residents, with weekday green fees below $20.
although better maintenance will hlep, the course in genral is not as bad as other critics stated. Water hazard comes into play on several holes before the green, & break up the otherwise monotonous nature of the course. You still need to bring your decent game due to the length of the course. Bugs are a problem starting summer, & play involves crossing a busy road twice. All considered, still great value ! |

| I wrote a rather less than complimentary review in 2008 and am happy to say that Ocean County has come up with a few bucks and the Atlantis course is actually improving. The rains this year have done wonders to keep the fairways and greens from frying and as a result, the course has improved considerably. It still is not on par with the Northern Jersey County courses, but it is improving and that is a good sign. My compliments to those who are involved in making the course better. Now the course is quite playable from tee to green and many of the woeful tee boxes of the past year are nicely repaired. Greens, with a few exceptions, are much better than last year. The course is challenging (slope 129 from middle tees) and not lady friendly. They could REALLY use a few tees more forward of the present red tees. Nevertheless, I am proud, as an Ocean County resident, to see efforts to improve our favorite local course. Give it a try, the sixth hole alone is worth the price of admission! |

Needs Work!, Sep 29, 2008

| I have played Atlantis a great many times over the last 10 years. It is sad to see the course going downhill year by year. I am sure that Ocean County simply does not supply the funding needed to maintain even a basic quality course. The local residents are also very hard on the course, carving up the greens with motorbikes and even spreading toxic chemicals on the greens for spite. It is sad. The course is good for practice because it causes you to hit on poor surfaces, hardpan lies, deep but spotty rough, and greens of mixed grasses. It is still a great bargain for Ocean County Taxpayers so if you just want to get out and get a practice round in, and don't care much about the condition of the course, you can have fun there. The Spring is the best time to play, because the course is not as beat up at that time. |
