Overview
Any fan of the Mac/Raynor/Banks style of architecture must go see Forsgate Country Club’s Banks course, which features an outstanding quartet of par 3s, including the bold and dramatic Biarritz 17th. Though Forsgate often struggles in our conditioning category, its landforms and deep bunkering are worth studying and experiencing—and make it deserving of its place among New Jersey’s best courses.

Review
“Forsgate is tucked off a highway in Central New Jersey and features 36 holes of private golf. The Banks Course is considered the better of the two with a classic Charles Banks design, featuring template holes and many deep greenside bunkers. The set of par threes here is spectacular culminating in the prodigious Biarritz 17th. The par fives and fours are not quite as good, but the conditions are strong and the course is one of the better privates in New Jersey."

“Forsgate Banks is special because of the bunkering and the greens. The land has just enough features to be interesting and Banks' bold design provides the rest. Private club, worth the visit!"
