Office of Leases

CREAM RIDGE GOLF COURSE

The State Park Service recently issued a Request for Proposal for the operation of Cream Ridge Golf Course.  Due to an unexpected delay in the public bidding process, we have had to temporarily close the golf course. 

We hope to be open with a new operator in the winter 2012.  Please check back for more updates.  We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you soon!

Spring Meadow Golf Course, also located in Monmouth County is open for play through out the year. For rates and additional information call 732-449-0806.

(Please note that Greens Café is not closed, but may be operating at restricted hours during the winter months.  If you need to contact Greens Café, you may call (609) 259-5700 or visit http://www.greensrandb.com/cafe/index.html.)

The Department of Environmental Protection’s Natural and Historic Resources Group’s Office of Leases administers approximately 280 lease and operating agreements for the Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Division of Parks and Forestry. Leases and operating agreements help the Divisions manage cultural and natural resources, provide visitors with increased amenities, enhance revenue to sustain operational costs, and provide new business opportunities for the private and nonprofit sectors.

Leases and operating agreements have been developed with nonprofit organizations, local governments, private corporations and citizens, and utility companies. The agreements cover a wide variety of subjects and properties, including historic sites, farmland, residences, utilities and golf courses. 

In addition to identifying new leasing opportunities, the Office of Leases continues to diligently improve leasing practices and policies, including updating and renewing leases and pricing, publicly bidding new leases, improving oversight of rent collection, and ensuring the use of the public assets is consistent with the Department of Environmental Protection’s mission.

Stay tuned. More information on leases is coming soon!
