This week on The DROP Podcast, we dive into one of our most anticipated conversations of the year: our Top 10 Public Courses Played in New Jersey for 2025. Ryan brings his personal rankings, Mike brings his own, and together we break down the Garden State’s best public tracks based on layout, conditioning, value, and overall “must-play” energy. From hidden gems to established favorites, we reveal what surprised us, what lived up to the hype, and which courses absolutely belong on your 2025 tee sheet. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a public-track loyalist, or a golfer searching for your next challenge, this episode maps out the definitive New Jersey golf lineup heading into the new year.
To close the show, we roll through a fresh batch of quick hitters, including a recap of The Skins Game and a new round of Fast Facts, featuring our Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shop the DROP deals and a big thank-you to everyone supporting the podcast this season. We also check in on PGA Tour Q-School as the Second Stage begins December 2nd with Ryan McCormick, David Pastore, Jack Simon, Ethan Ng, and Melan Dhaubhadel all competing to advance toward the Final Stage. Tune in for rankings, reactions, and the ultimate guide to Golfing in the Garden State.
