Ballyowen Golf Club

Great pace of play. Course in good condition and greens ran true if not just a tad slower than expected. To be fair it was a little wet as we finished eighteen by 10am.

I was disappointed with the course condition. The tees were aerated, the greens aerated a month ago and still weren't cured. They were extremely bumpy. Every putt bobbled. The place was nothing like the last time I played it about 5 years ago. I had nothing but high praise for this course, today that changed. The person I played with couldn't understand how I thought this course was so good, I understand his sentiment. We played Neshanic last week and it was in far superior shape.

Other than aerating, the course is a great test. The elevation changes make you use unusual clubs for the measured yardages on approach shots.

Enjoyed playing here very much! The greens were perfect and the staff very helpful! Only bummer was cart paths only but Mother Nature made that call.

Love this part of NJ as it feels like you are in the mountains of the Carolinas! Would be happy to come back anytime!!!

Five tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels. The greens were fairly fast and in good condition. The course is expensive and the pace of play was slow on the back nine.

For April, the conditions were great, cannot complain. The staff is very friendly, even let me go back and get an additional 9 in with no charge. If you have the money, get a round here.

The course is always nice, bunkers are what they are during pandemic so no fault of the course there. Overall a round worth the money a couple times a year!

This much hearlded course has seen better days. Blame it on CIVID19 or whatever but Ballyowen is a shadow of it's former self. Course condition was as poor as I ever saw it. I look forward to fall golf since the course is usually in great shape. Greens were horrible Tees were okay and fairways decent. Pace of play was y joke. Was able to get 3/4 of a round in 4.5 hours. I drove 1.5 hours for a crummy experience. Not what I expected.

First time playing this course today. Made the 2hr trip from L.I (Bethpage greater area) Glad I was finally able to get an early enough tee time to finish all 18! Pulled up to the course and my first impression was “Wow!”while entering and driving up the hill. Pro shop, cart guy and the starter all very nice people! I was warming up at the range and lost track of time. Hurried to the starter area and apologized for the tardiness and told him it was my first time playing the course and I was a little lost. Starter assured me everything was fine and that we were up next. Starter welcomed me and thanked me for coming out and choosing to play with them today. It’s little things like that, that will resonate with customers/patrons like myself and we don’t forget them. Word of mouth travels fast especially when you live on an Island. Customer service these days gets overlooked. This place is top notch when it comes to that. Hard course if your putting isn’t on point and you’re not consistent with your approach shots. Only gave the course conditions a 4/5 bc the greens have seen better days. Way too many bumps and dead spots for my liking. But I’m sure it’s just your usual end of the season wear and tear. Greens also have different elevations depending on the pin placement. There’s no easy putts on this course(Maybe the 1st & 10th holes?lol). Played with 3 gentleman. Great guys and good golfers. Beautiful warm fall day, great service and great golf. Chris, John & Trevor. Thank you for making today’s round worth the trip! I hope to come back next year in 2021 and I’ll be bringing friends.

Got a Hot Deal and saved a lot of money on one of the best courses around. I was a single but the threesome I was supposed to play with canceled so they put me out with another group of very friendly guys. The course did not disappoint. Greens, tees, fairways and manicuring Was very nice.

This course is and absolute blast! We were worried about a first delay as temperatures at tee off at 7:10am were 34 degrees but we got off right on time.

The grounds were a little wet but other than that the conditions were absolutely amazing! This is a great course for skilled golfers. Played the round in just over 4 hours with three guys with handicaps of 20+

Can't wait to be back in 2021

By far the best course I have played this year. (I play 3 to 4 times a week and at least 1 new course per week)

Great track. Very challenging. Will definitely play again
