Thinking of joining a yacht club? Here are some great options nearby to consider:
Bay Head Yacht Club
The Bay Head Yacht Club, founded in 1888, has been perhaps Bay Head’s finest establishment for quite some time now. From morning bridge groups to regattas, the club offers its members memorable experiences every week. The dining facilities and the food itself are certainly something special...for example, the once-a-week buffet-style lobster night will leave you dying to come back the next night. Other than boating and phenomenal food, the club offers its members tennis, bocce, and countless activity groups to join. The waiting list for membership at the Bay Head Yacht Club is usually a couple of years, but it is surely worth the wait.
Location: 111 Metcalfe Street, Bay Head, NJ 08742
Manasquan River Yacht Club
Manasquan River Yacht Club, much like the golf club, is a very beautiful, elegant place. The club offers plenty of social opportunities, elite sailing and yachting instruction, tennis, a pool, and most importantly great food. There is a waiting list for the club, but not to worry, it’s not as long as the golf club.
Location: 405 Riverview Lane, Brielle, NJ 08730
Mantoloking Yacht Club
The Mantoloking Yacht Club, established in 1907, is a family-oriented club that is known for its competitive sailboat racing. The club operates from May to October every year and is a great place to build new friendships. The club offers sailing, tennis, and countless social opportunities for both adults and children.
Location: 1228 Bay Avenue, Mantoloking, NJ 08738
Metedeconk River Yacht Club
The Metedeconk River Yacht Club, similar to many yacht clubs, is known for its sailing first and foremost. The club also offers plenty of social events and inter-club leagues, like the year-round darts league. Metedeconk River has all the facets that a great yacht club has to offer, and it’s more affordable than the Mantoloking, Manasquan River, and Bay Head yacht clubs.
Location: 42 Tilton Road, Brick Township, NJ 08723
Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club
The Spring Lake Bath & Tennis club is a special place. With a pool, saltwater pool, private beach, tennis courts, and great food, there’s essentially no way not to love it...the waiting list for this club is known to be upwards of five years, so if you plan to purchase a home on the jersey shore in the coming years, apply today!
Location: 1 Jersey Avenue, Spring Lake, NJ 07762
Atlantic Club
The Atlantic Club, unlike most of the others on this list, is not an exclusive private club...instead, view it as a YMCA but with a whole lot more to offer. The Atlantic Club has just about everything you could be looking for in an athletic facility. The club offers tennis, all types of sports fields, a spa, physical therapy, basketball courts, a state-of-the-art gym and pool, and even a prep school. The Atlantic Club is a great place for you and your family to get exercise and burn off those Mueller’s Bakery donuts.
Location: 1904 Atlantic Avenue, Manasquan, NJ 08736
Manasquan River Golf Club
Manasquan River Golf Club is the true gem golf club of the Jersey Shore. The club boasts a gorgeously maintained eighteen-hole partial waterfront layout, a stellar short-game practice facility, and great food. The only downside of the club is the waiting list, as it could take up to nine years to become a member.
Location: 843 Riverview Drive, Brielle, NJ 08730
Spring Lake Golf Club
Spring Lake Golf Club is another local golf gem, and likely the most historic golf club on the Jersey Shore. Spring Lake Golf Club is approaching it’s 125th anniversary, and golf legends like Sam Snead, Walter Hagan, and Gene Sarazen have faced the course’s difficult layout. Private like Manasquan River, the club offers phenomenal social events and opportunities, and most importantly a beautiful, extremely well-maintained course. There is a waiting list for Spring Lake Golf Club, but unlike Manasquan River, you could be initiated in under three years.
Location: 901 Warren Avenue, Spring Lake, NJ 07762
Metedeconk National Golf Club
Metedeconk National consistently ranks as one of the best courses in New Jersey. The club offers championship-level golf, great food, and beautiful cottages for traveling members and guests. Unlike Manasquan River and Spring Lake Golf Club, Medeconk National is an invitation-only club, which means essentially that you must know a member who will advocate for you.
Location: 50 Hannah Hill Road, Jackson Township, NJ 08527
