As long as Mother Nature keeps cooperating with us, I\u2019m confident in saying golf season is now officially back in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
I ventured up to Hunterdon County, which, in my opinion, has some of the best public golf in New Jersey, and played Beaver Brook Country Club.<\/p>\n
Beaver Brook is a former private golf course that\u2019s now open to the public, and you can see why this course used to be private. The course showcases some of the beauty of its area, tons of elevation changes, and views of the Spruce Run Reservoir.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve probably played over 100 golf courses in my life, and I had never seen that before. It provides you with some really good scoring opportunities right away, and then gifts you two good scoring opportunities right before your round is over. None of the par 5\u2019s are particularly long either, so you can likely reach all of them in two if you hit a good drive.<\/p>\n The course is tough outside of those holes; trees line mostly every fairway, so if you\u2019re spraying it off the tee, you\u2019re going to have a tough time playing here.<\/p>\n Kyle Clark \/ Townsquare Media<\/p>\n Kyle Clark \/ Townsquare Media<\/p>\n The greens are in great shape and are pretty receptive when hitting into them. You\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find any unfixed divot marks, so your putts should roll very true.<\/p>\n All in all, Beaver Brook is absolutely a course you should try to play this summer.<\/p>\n Which states have the most expensive electric bills?<\/p>\n The average total electricity cost in the United States last year was $1,820.
