Forsgate Country Club is a country club located in Monroe Township, New Jersey. The club has two distinctively different eighteen hole golf courses, an historic clubhouse with two dining facilities, tennis court, a pool and fitness center. The club is private for golf and dining, but is available to non-members for meetings, catering, and golf outings.

Banks Course

The Banks Course was created by Charles “Steamshovel” Banks in 1931.[1]

This Horseshoe completely surrounded by bunkers, this par three is a copy of many elevated short holes in Scotland. "Buried elephants" is one way to describe the horseshoe-shaped undulation.

Palmer Course

Originally created by Hal Purdy in 1961, but redesigned in 1995 by the Arnold Palmer Group and again in 2007 by Steven Kay.
