Thinking About Living in Suneagles Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Suneagles Golf Club and the surrounding Jersey Shore / Monmouth County golf market.
Suneagles Golf Club opened in 1926, designed by A.W. Tillinghast, on land the U.S. Army purchased in 1942 and folded into Fort Monmouth. After the base's closure and reuse process, Martelli Development LLC of Colts Neck purchased the 171-acre former Suneagles property for $5 million and committed to a roughly $29 million redevelopment: the golf course itself is deed-restricted to remain a golf course for 40 years, while the surrounding acreage is being redeveloped to include 60 new townhomes (The Ridge at Suneagles) plus a 15-unit affordable-housing building, a banquet facility, and a restaurant.
Alongside this redevelopment, the club converted from its historic semi-private, publicly bookable status to a fully private, members-only model around 2024. This combination -- a historic Tillinghast design, a deed-restricted golf-preservation commitment, and a genuinely new, developer-built residential component on the same site -- gives Suneagles a real, current residential-integration story distinct from a simple 'houses near a course' proximity case, though this research session could not confirm whether Ridge at Suneagles homeowners receive any golf-membership connection.
Golf & Course
The course was designed by A.W. Tillinghast and opened in 1926, later becoming part of the U.S. Army's Fort Monmouth installation (purchased 1942) before returning to private hands after the base's closure.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The club converted to fully private, members-only status around 2024 under new ownership; this session could not confirm the current initiation fee, dues, or specific admission process.
