Stretched over 245 acres of completely
secluded pristine woodlands of Jersey pines, oaks, maple
and laurel, Shore Gate will test golfers of all ability
levels with its sensational, challenging and stunningly
beautiful layout. With five sets of tee markers ranging
from 5200 to 7200 yards, Shore Gate is a dramatic design
by Ron Fream featuring elevation changes not usually found
on New Jersey's shores.
Fream, a veteran California-based architect
whose courses are located in some 60 countries, let out
all the stops in designing this, his first East Coast
course and great care was taken to preserve the wetlands
and other natural endowments of the untouched parcel which
once sat adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean.
Fream artfully incorporated the dunes
into his design plan, exposing the natural sand and the
contours of the dunes to frame many of the holes and provide
an additional visual and strategic element to a course
that puts a premium on accuracy. The course’s seven
ponds and lakes add to the overall beauty and physical
texture of Shore Gate, which was created to provide a
challenging but enjoyable round for the recreational golfer.
