Inside Metedeconk National + NJ’s Toughest Tracks

This week’s DROP takes you inside our unforgettable day at Metedeconk National Golf Club, thanks to Director of Golf Brent Studer, who opened the gates for us to experience one of the most exclusive and demanding layouts in New Jersey. From the world-class practice facility to a full loop on the Tournament Course, we saw firsthand why this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design is considered a true Garden State test. With a slope rating of 153, water in play on seven holes, and perfectly framed tee shots, Metedeconk is as strategic as it is stunning. We break down our favorite holes, course conditions, and what makes this track one of the toughest in the state.

From there, we dive into the hardest courses in New Jersey, using GHIN ratings and slope indexes to shape the convo, with a big shout to the MGA for their featured article on us. On the pro scene, Max finishes solo 2nd at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan, going shot-for-shot with Xander down the stretch. Chris lands at T40, and on the Korn Ferry Tour, James wraps up the Finals with eyes on what’s next. Whether you're grinding local muni tracks or chasing the dream, this episode brings you stories, strategy, and that signature New Jersey golf energy.
