Cooler NJ weather means it’s the perfect time for golfing

Last Thursday's wicked storm seems to have taken away the heat and humidity, at least for a little while.

Temperatures have been in the mid 80s recently which is a reprieve from the brutal 100 degree weather we were living through just a few weeks ago.

This cool weather gives you the perfect excuse to get out and golf. We're lucky in New Jersey that we have some gorgeous public courses. For a state that's as densely populated as we are we do still have the land for some beautiful courses.

In Burlington County where I live, the pickings are slim. I call it golf purgatory. There are so many well kept, beautiful public courses but somehow none of them are in the Burlington County area.

But if you venture to Hunterdon County you'll find Neshanic Valley, Heron Glen, and High Bridge Hills, which are some of my favorite courses that I've ever played. And they're public too!

In Monmouth County you'll find Charleston Springs (both the north and south course are terrific), Hominy Hill, Shark River and a bunch more that are all in perfect condition and inspiring layouts.

Warren County has The Architects Golf Club. Sussex County has Ballyowen.

Ocean County has plenty of good ones like Eagle Ridge. We have so many other great ones in the state that I haven't gotten around to playing yet, but plan to.

Whether you're just starting up golf for the first time this summer or it's a long-lost passion that you haven't had time to play, make sure you get out and play soon while the weather stays nice!
