Bey Lea Golf Course — Local services in Toms River

I would love to give an accurate review of this course, but I can’t. The reason I can’t is because I’m convinced it’s harder to get an early morning tee time on the weekend here than to play Augusta. So I’ve never been able to actually play here. They make the system to get a tee time super confusing and difficult. This includes a lottery that is performed in march of every year to hold slots for tee times that costs $1300 per year. So if you want an 8am tee time on a Saturday, forget it. People have already won a lottery for that slot and will be able to hog that tee time for the whole year. The people who work there are slow and they will never explain this to you. So you buy a membership and waste time trying to get tee times of which you will never get. All because no one explained these over complicated rules that make a municipal course feel like an ultra exclusive country club. But what can you expect from the...

Course is in great shape and very beginner/intermediate friendly. Big fairways and consistent greens I find myself wanting to come back. My reason for giving this 4 stars is the pace of play. Two times in a row I've gone for a quick 9 after work (5pm twilight) and it's taken me well over two and a half hours to finish 9 holes. I am an amateur golfer at the best of times and both times we were playing with 4 people (two walking) and we still had to wait 5+ minutes at each hole for slower groups (all using carts) in front of us. This kills any momentum and really ruins the flow of an otherwise great course. Both times no ranger in sight to speed things up. Hoping they fix this quickly as the days get shorter, I'd rather go somewhere else so I can get 9 holes in before...

management is the opposite of accommodating and arrogant. Whoever was there Saturday morning should be ashamed of himself. You lost a member and a very very frequent player(played twice week prior, and at least once a week the past 2 months) I will make sure neither me or any of my other local friends play here again.

As for the course it’s well kept but way outside of its price range. For almost half the price you can play at plenty of other courses within a half hour radius. Way too many walkers and no rangers setting the pace it’s a free for all once you’re on the 2nd hole. Was a solid home course for me as a member good discount but a bummer that the moron behind the desk had to blow that.

Lady in the concession...
