Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club

Rated among the most acclaimed private clubs in the country, Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club in Howell, New Jersey draws consistent praise from Hole19 golfers for its layout and facilities. The 18-hole, par-71 course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1989, stretching over 7,100 yards across a mix of links-style open meadow, deeply-forested terrain, water hazards, marsh, and bunkers. Practice options are extensive. A full-sized grass practice center, a 75-yard short game area with two bunkers, multiple putting and chipping greens positioned near the 1st tee, 10th tee, and clubhouse, and The Nest — a year-round heated facility for private instruction and club fitting — all sit on property. The clubhouse holds Distinguished Club of America ELITE status (top 2% of private clubs) and was ranked the #1 clubhouse in New Jersey by Club + Resort Business. Dining includes Prime & Vine, an award-winning steakhouse and wine bar with dry-aged beef and seafood; St. Andrew's Grille Room & Terrace, serving lunch and dinner with a brick oven pizza bar; and the 19th Hole Bar & Grille, an alfresco spot with custom cocktails and light to heavier fare.
