Ballyowen Golf Club From 7,094 Yards .. Is It NJ’s Best Public Course?

Mike takes on all 18 holes at Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, New Jersey, playing the Black Tees at the full 7,094 yards. It turns into a rock-solid day from tee to green, but the putter keeps a lower number just out of reach as Mike works his way around one of New Jersey’s premier public golf courses. From more than 7,000 yards, Ballyowen’s length becomes a significant part of the challenge, but the bigger question remains: is this the best public golf course in New Jersey? This complete ball-in-hole round shows every shot across Roger Rulewich’s expansive design, where native fescue, rolling terrain and sweeping views help create Ballyowen’s distinctive identity. Inspired by the heathland landscapes of Ireland and Scotland, the course looks and feels unlike almost anything else in New Jersey, which becomes even more apparent over the full 18-hole experience.
