Shore Gate is located near the seashore, but is sure isn't a day at the beach. We've had about 60,000 rounds here and nobody has broken par from any tee box, said head professional David Faught in late 2004. We even hosted a Player Ability Test [for PGA professional hopefuls] from the white tees and the low round was 74. What makes the course challenging is the diversity of the golf holes, continues, Faught. Everything is visually intimidating.

Welcome to McCullough's Emerald Golf Links, New Jersey Shore's most unique public championship golf course! Combining the traditions and features of both old and new, McCullough's presents players a distinctly different Irish-Scottish golfing experience - wide open fairways, tricky powerful winds, remarkable grass mounds and bunkers, vast natural waste areas, and true undulating greens - reminding players of the challenge and allure of true British Isles golf.

Twisted Dune Golf Club is like no other golf course in New Jersey. True to its name, Twisted Dune is a links style course with twisting landscapes, dramatic elevations, and contoured fairways. Ours is a challenging, yet supremely playable, eighteen-hole design. Designer Archie Struthers moved two million cubic yards of earth to bring this remarkable course to fruition; creating a true taste of the Scottish Coast, right here at the Jersey Shore.
