It’s might be January but the first few days of the year felt like a fall (or early spring) day.

I live down the street from a big golf course and seeing the parking lot as packed as it was around the New Year was like seeing it in prime golf time.

It must be difficult to be a golfer in New Jersey and not have the opportunity to participate in the sport you love all year round so I totally get people taking advantage of this weird winter weather.

Now I’m not a golfer. I used to be a “pro” mini-golfer when I was a kid and I have friends that live and breathe golf and have tried to get me out there with them. I’ve never taken the bait but now I might be changing my mind.

To try to convince me, a friend of mine sent me to golf.com to read up on what I needed to know about golf. That’s when I came across a list of the best golf courses across the country and that’s what convinced me to possibly try this sport out.

First of all, I had no idea how many golf courses there were in New Jersey. Have you seen what some of these courses look like? You’ll feel like you’re on vacation!

Whether golfing is a hobby or you’re a newbie like I might be, check out the top golf courses in the Garden State according to golf.com. This is a pretty cool bucket list to get going.

Now keep in mind, these country clubs are “members only” so unless you’re a member or you’re a guest of a member, you might have a hard time getting onto those specific courses, but give them a call!

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
