Gary Rhenn's 1964 layout has six par 3s, led by the 225-yard 4th over water and the 12th over the Bog; the greens are small, bunkered and full of movement.

About Cranbury Golf Club

Cranbury is a classic-style course that Gary Rhenn built in 1964, and its personality is in the par 3s. There are six of them, which is why the card says par 70 even though it plays well over 6,200 yards. The 4th is the big one, 225 yards over water, and the 12th is 155 yards over the Bog, which is also the name of the clubhouse restaurant.

The greens are small and undulating, and a recent redesign gave the course all-new greenside bunkers, so a missed green usually means sand or a tricky chip. It's an Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary, and there's a practice area, lessons, a golf shop and The Bog for lunch or dinner.

It's one of 75 courses Yoink watches in the Northern & Central New Jersey area, and the closest alternative is Mercer Oaks East Golf Course, about 2 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
