Bey Lea Golf Course Set To Close For Winter In Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Golfers have just another 10 days to tee it up at Bey Lea Golf Course in Toms River for 2022, the township announced.

The course will be closing for the winter as of 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 11, Toms River officials announced.

The annual closure protects the grass, which goes dormant in the cold, and it also allows for maintenance projects that cannot be completed while golfers are actively using the course, officials said. This winter, crews will be working on the sand traps, among other projects, business administrator Louis Amoruso said.

"We anticipate reopening in March, weather permitting," he said.

The golf course has brought in $1,652,054.68 in revenue through October, according to the report at the Nov. 9 Township Council meeting, and was on pace to set a record for revenue for the year, said Jared Tate, the Toms River director of recreation.

"We would like to thank all of our loyal patrons for their continued support," an announcement from Toms River officials said. "We wish everyone a healthy and happy holiday season and we look forward to seeing you in the spring!"
