Designed by Scottish golf pro Joseph "Scotty" I'Anson in the early 1900s, Shark River Golf Course features tight, narrow fairways; deep-faced bunkers; and the challenge of small, well-protected greens. The holes vary from a short, drivable par 4 to a long, risky par 5, with some strong par 3 holes mixed in. Even at its modest length of 6457 yards, this course offers a stern but fair test to all golfers.
Shark River is a par 71 that has a USGA course rating of 70.3 and USGA slope rating of 130 from the blue tees. The course is open through the winter, weather permitting, with temporary tees and greens. Mobile concession cart for snacks & refreshments provided from March until December and at other times are available through vending machines.
