Major improvement
Wow, I can’t believe this is the old Minebrook golf course. Lots of improvements made definitely will be back.
Most improved award
I had written this course off as a forgotten dirt track where 5 hour rounds are the norm and course condition did not matter to the management. The greens are now great and the rest of the course is being well cared for. Glad to see a really fun loop getting some love, will definitely go back.
SO back
Rock Ridge aka “Minebrook” has risen. Growing up this course was a “beginner” course to be polite. I was very pleasantly surprised with the overall course conditions. Greens were rolling really well, tee boxes were great, and the rough and fairways were healthy. This has to be the best deal and value in Morris County. $60ish for 18 with a cart and lunch!?! I’ll be back for sure.
Good Bang For Your Buck
Course was in very nice shape. The greens rolled fast and true.
Biggest problem is that it took us 5 hours and 15 minutes to play the course. Brutal. Rangers were riding around the course, but did nothing to speed up the pace of play. The group in front of us had an entire hole open ahead of them, yet nothing was done to speed things up!! That is my biggest gripe, other than that, it's a nice course.
Getting better all the time!
Beatles song!! Great improvement. They are doing a great job with the course! Will play again!
Overbooked doesn’t begin to describe it
Showed up for a 330 tee time on a saturday. When we got there the starter told us we couldn’t tee off on 1 because it was too backed up so the ranger would take us to the back 9. Well, he drove right past 10 and told us to start on 16 where he had us wait for 4 groups to tee off ahead of us first. We ended up not hitting our first shot until 3:45, which at that point we should’ve just been able to start on 1, but whatever.
We played 16-18 and started back on 1 where we had to wait again for a two new groups to tee off, which defeated the purpose of starting on the back. The course was so backed up It took us 3 hours to get to the 9th hole from the first hole, at which point we decided enough was enough and got a rain check.
Course was in good shape so shoutout to the grounds crew, but no driving range or warm up area makes it so that your first shot comes on the first tee. Course was brutally slow despite all the signs around the course regarding pace of play. In reality, it’s not like they even could have enforced pace of play if they wanted to with the course scheduling tee times 6 minutes apart.
3.5/5 for the course conditions
0/5 for the experience
Longest Round of my Life
I had a midday tee time but didn’t get to start until about 45 minutes after our scheduled time. The pace of play was extremely poorly managed from the start. There was already a six-person group ahead of us, followed by a threesome behind us. To make matters worse, as the group in front was teeing off, the starter added another player, who had a 2:00 PM tee time, into their group.
Throughout the round, we constantly had players hitting into us while we were still waiting for the group ahead to clear the green. Tee times were spaced far too closely together, around three minutes apart, which made it nearly impossible to maintain any reasonable pace without near-perfect shots on every hole.
Course conditions didn’t help either. There was barely any distinction between the fairway and rough, which made the experience even more frustrating.
Despite being under new ownership, the overall experience hasn’t improved. I paid $78 for this round, and it certainly didn’t feel worth it; I wouldn’t pay even $40 to play here again. Unless you’re a highly skilled player going out solo, it’s unrealistic to expect to keep up with the pace they’re trying to enforce.
Overall, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
Pace of Play
Awful pace of play. Tee’d off a full 38 minutes after scheduled tee time. Not normally picky but the piece of play was completely unacceptable. Waited at least 5 mins before almost every shot
I would the say course itself is ok; the first handful of holes are very close together which isn’t great as you really do have to be on alert. Good conditions and a variety of different holes/challenges.
Very friendly staff, they have a big open bar.
Improvement
I have been playing this course for years, the new management has done an incredible job at improving course conditions. Very impressed.
