About
High Point Golf Club is a public course in Montague that has been around since 1966. The course has since undergone major renovations but it still retains the original character of the design. The layout is routed between two massive, sparkling lakes. You won't find any parallel holes on this golf course, it provides plenty of space so you don't have to worry about errant drives. High Point is seemingly mild, but don't be fooled by the traditional 6,783-yard layout. There is a surprising amount of bite to this golf course. Each hole presents a unique challenge but what they have in common are the rolling fairways that are subtly contoured. They leave for some difficult and creative approaches. In addition to the golf course, High Point also has a driving range available as well as putting and chipping greens.

unique routing , very entertaining
love the dog legs could play without becoming bored
Course in great condition.
Have played this course a few times over the years. Course maintenance is the best it's been in some time. All the greens and fairways were in great shape.
High point
Everything was great, a golf rep came to car with my cart, pencil and card in cart.my reservation was checked and off I went
Hidden gem
I've been playing this course on and off for years now . Greens are always in great shape . It's a point and shoot course with plenty of doglegs and water .
Very challenging, especially from the tips . Lots of houses on the course ... but you still feel somewhat secluded. FYI, you will not see a ranger to enforce pace of play and you may run into some slow play from time to time , but that's to be expected with any muni . Give it a try !!! The price is always right !
One of the best in Northern NJ.
I was a beginner the last time I played High Point so I couldn't fully appreciate it. Now that I'm a more experienced golfer and I've played it I can really say it's one of the best in Northern NJ. The course layout is the best part. Every hole has a lot of character. Just be prepared to lose a lot of balls if you aren't very good like myself because there is a lot of water! The course conditions are great and so is the staff. Also first place I've played in 2017 where there hasn't been a wait! I highly recommend this course.
Lacked the basics
I understand it's April, but the lack of basics is hard to believe. I don't really think it matters what month the calendar says, when it's forecast to be 85 degrees , a course should have water in the water coolers . I played early enough, about 11, to see it wasn't so busy that they had all been finished by the golfers. When I inquired about this in the Pro Shop at the turn, I was told if I wanted water I could buy it in there, or get it out of the sink in the men's room !! Wow, that really helped, especially on the front nine! Would a cup of ice water from the bar kill you?
Being damp on the course, as all courses in the area are this Spring, every swing creates a large divot. All the divot mix containers on the carts or empty, as were all 15 or 20 stationed at the 10th tee box, where you would normally trade yours in for a fresh one. This practice is obviously going to leave the fairways in poor condition in the weeks to come.
How much time and effort would it really take to address these 2 golf course basics? It's too bad, this layout could be nice.
Enjoyable Course
This course has had its ups and downs but I always enjoy playing here. The holes are long enough to be challenging but not outrageous. Grass needs to come in a bit and the greens need some attention but overall it was good.

Challenging course that would benefit from some investment, but I suppose most munis are that way.
Will require nearly every club in your bag and force you to hit creative shots.
The 9s could probably be reversed - first hole is a par 5 with a 200 yard forced carry over water on the second shot and ends with a 100-ish yard par 3. Kind of an odd setup.
The bunkers are almost never raked and the ball washers often have no water, or dirty water, in them.
Otherwise it's a nice layout and a challenging test. Price tag isnt bad either but they couldnt charge more than they do given the condition and amenities.
what used to be...
You can tell when you arrive, this "was" a course with greater things in mind. It was once a gated type community with a nice golf course.
The golf course is still nice, but the surroundings... not so much.
Many of the holes require shot placement, not just grip and rip. There are water hazards and obstacles, but nothing crazy. The fairways and greens were in good shape. The pace of play was average, but no waiting.
The staff was friendly and helpful, Unfortunately ,they didn't have any sandwiches or food available at the turn premade. But to their credit, they took our order and had the cart person deliver the food right to us on the course.
I think compared the surrounding courses, this gets little attention. To me, this is a place that should be visited. Keep your visual surroundings expectations low and you won't be disappointed. On the other hand, you'll enjoy a great round of golf.
