metedeconk -what is the tournament course

Metedeconk National G.C

Initially, Dick Sambol wanted to build a trailer park. That was this plan for the 1,200 acres he and his son Herb had acquired in and around Jackson Township, New Jersey in the 1970's around the same time I-195 was being built there. They began thinking of other uses for that land. Residential, commercial, maybe a combination of both.

How many holes are there in Metedeconk?

Metedeconk was built through dense woodlands and originally opened as an 18-hole layout -- later named the 1st nine and 2nd nine. A few years later a 3rd nine was added and named accordingly. Rulewich played a major role in completing that side. When the course first opened - the difficulty was clearly present.

What side of the golf course is the bunker on?

This bunker is about five feet deep.

Is the green flat at Metedeconk?

The green has a lot of internal movement although the back right corner is fairly flat. It is a nice finishing hole, albeit one of the more difficult holes on the course. One has to have a good chipping/pitching game, a good putting stroke, as well as hit the ball long and straight at Metedeconk National.

Is Metedeconk groomed?

Metedeconk is impeccably groomed and when the putting surfaces are at a swift pace -- a daily occurrence -- it's critical for players to keep approaches below the hole.
