The Short Take

Colonial Terrace At A Glance

Colonial Terrace sits on Deal Lake in the southeast part of Ocean Township. It was sold in the 1920s as a Deal Lake neighborhood with lake lots, and newspaper ads in 1924 and 1926 advertised new lots.

Its center is the William F. Larkin Golf Course at Colonial Terrace, 1003 Wickapecko Drive, a course its operator says first opened in 1920 and that the township opened to the public in May 2008.
