Belmar Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Belmar Golf Club for ideal conditions?

You'll find Belmar truly shines in the spring and fall. The summer can get quite hot, making the back nine a real slog, but the course truly shines when the temperatures are mild and the fairways are lush. We recommend aiming for April-May or September-October for the most enjoyable round.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Belmar, especially for a first-timer?

You'll quickly discover that Belmar's greens are its true defense. They are notoriously undulating and fast, often breaking more than you'd expect, so bring your A-game with the putter. Don't be surprised if you leave a few putts short or blow them past the hole on your first go-round.

Are there any must-play holes or unique features at Belmar Golf Club that we should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th-it's a stunner with a challenging carry over water to a well-guarded green. The finishing stretch, holes 16-18, also offers a fantastic risk-reward experience that can make or break your scorecard.

How does Belmar Golf Club compare in terms of value for the green fee?

Belmar offers a solid golf experience for its price point, especially considering the course conditioning you usually find. While it's not a budget track, you're getting a well-maintained layout with some genuinely memorable holes, making it a worthwhile splurge for a quality round.

What practical advice do you have for someone playing Belmar for the first time?

Beyond mastering those greens, we strongly recommend taking a cart-it's a walkable course, but the elevation changes on the back nine can be taxing, especially on a warm day. Also, grab a hot dog at the turn; it's a local legend and the perfect fuel for the back nine.
