High Point Golf Club
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.

excellent coarse
this place if a hidden jem very challenging nice water holes long par 3's greens are very nice great views staff was super friendly andf the price to play $45 was great highly recommend playing this place def going back
Great Greens
First round at this course was a good one. Generally wide open with a few exceptions, water in play on most holes. Enjoyed the layout. Loved the greens. Not in the best shape I've ever seen, but rolled fast and true. Definitely will be back another day.
Decent. Potential.
Took a trip to the border from NY. Thought it was an interesting layout and it was super cheap so i thought why not.
This course has an interesting setting. Felt like I was playing in people's back yards. Lost a lot of balls unfortunately.
Its not a particularly difficult course. Not too many shots where the water poses a big threat, but when it does-- man are those some difficult shots.
Greens were fine, fairways and rough OK. Lots of construction being done on the course and in the neighborhood so that was a little distracting.
I won't give the course an unfair rating just because I had a bad round, but I do think it needs some work. However, if I lived closer I'm sure I would be playing there all the time. It's just so cheap and relatively empty. Cant beat that.
I recommend studying up on this course beforehand if it's your first time out, or else you'll end up having a frustrating day like mine
inaccurate yardages from tees; lots of distractions around the 1st and 10th holes
Very challenging for the skilled golfer, too challenging for the average golfer. This is the cause of extremely slow play . This is a very demanding coarse for accuracy off the tee in which most of the coarse is set up with heavily tree lined and narrow fairways.Could have still enjoyed it if the group behind us didn't hit into our group and the scuffle that ensued on the 16th over a
minor incident and almost ended up in a physical encounter with a hot headed drill instructor with no knowledge or etiquette
of the game. It was truely an undesireable experience that will ensure that I will not be going back there ever again!
Making a Come Back
20 years ago when I played this course last, the place was a mess. Took a chance with a good deal from Golf Now. Under new management the course has made good strides. The first few holes are still a bit odd in that they are along a local road but once you get past them it becomes a very good interesting course. Greens are on the quick side. You will have to disregard some of the poor housing on some of the holes but overall worth the ride up to High Point.
fun
course reopened 2012 they have done a great job getting it back in playing condition. Greens are perfect fairways well cut Tee boxes could use some TLC. Course is fun with some interesting layouts . Fantastic bar very friendly staff. Reasonable green fees. Thank you High Point had wonderful day ill spread the word.
This course has great potential.
This course has water hazards on most holes The problem is that I would describe the water as "marshes" rather than lakes, ponds or streams. However it appeared that there was some type of water cleaning project being attempted.
The tee boxes could be better maintained, such as having ball washers with towels
Fairways, greens, sand traps all well maintained. Fast play and great value.
Not worth the drive
No starter the day I played so it was like a free for all on the 1st tee. Greens were filled with divots which only means that the people playing could care less about taking care of the course. Decent layout but a crazy first hole to start your round. No interest in playing it again.
User freindly fun course
This is a nice little course hidden in the northwest corner of NJ. Fun and fair with various types of challenges along the way. There is water on many of the holes but can be avoided relatively easilly. Not usually very crowded , so worth the hour plus drive for me.
Nice bang for your buck
High Point is a really great value for the $30 it cost to play here. Although the course is not in pristine shape, it is certainly good enough to play a normal round of golf. I really like the track here and there is a nice mix of challenging holes and ones that aren't too bad.
The one negative was the pace of play. When we arrived, we were delayed about an hour and then had to wait on most holes when teeing off. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, but it needs to be fixed. Perhaps it's too cheap and they overbooked the course?
Quirky with a lot of blind shots
This course has a lot of water and tight fairways, so you may lose some balls. Greens were fast and for the most part rolled true, but the tee boxes were a bit hard and in need of some water and seeding. Fairways seemed fine. Lot's of blind shots, but what was on the other side of them wasn't as ominous as one would think.
Opening hole is great. Unless you can carry the water on your second shot, you may have to lay up closer to the bridge.
Staff was friendly. Ride back on Sunday afternoon down 206 and 15 was slow due to a lot of traffic from people leaving from the lakes.
This course takes some familiarity before being able to put together a good score but I would definitely play it again.
Slow round
Decent course decent layout pace of play was too slow and course was to far to get to, overall condition was fair.
LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG SLOW round
Got to the course with 10 minutes before my tee time, went into the small rinky dink clubhouse (which smelled terribly) to find a teenage girl who checked me in real quick and didn't really give me any direction on what to do, finally I found a guy walking around with jeans and a t shirt who was the starter I guess. Had to wait for a cart to come in from 18 to load up.
The course is...okay. Not even close to Crystal Spring courses or even Morris County courses. Tee boxes are a mess and the greens were a little roughed up, fairways were kinda burnt. The course had some seriously odd doglegs to make them seem longer than they were.
The pace of play was god awful, even though I was playing well we turned around 3 hours and I just called it quits and walked off the course. I probably wouldn't be back.
well cond. course and freindly staff
played in the afternoon so greens were a little bumpy but good shape for all the rain we have had.
NICE LITTLE CHALLENGE OF GOLF
THE COURSE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, AND THE LAY OUT WAS GREAT. A MUST PLAY FOR THE MONEY.
Good course!
Played here long time ago! Now that they are open again, played it twice in one week! From the tips it is challenging! There are a lots of water, so bring a lots of balls! Tee boxes are in need of work, and I can see that they are working on it! Greens are in great conditions! Wish ppl would fix their ball marks! Price you can't beat! $30 weekday, $45 weekends, and through golf now, u can find great deals! I would come back again to this course!
Possibilities do exist.
First time I played here. Greens are in great shape but the rest of the course needs work. Pace of play needs to improve as ther was a foursome and two twosomes in front of us. Starter should have paired the twosomes. Not sure if I'll be back unless there are no other options but course does offer good value.
Very happy with the overall experience
Booked the tee time on-line without any prior personal knowledge of the course. Wanted to play somewhere new and different. The price looked right. Posted reviews were positive. The course is in good shape. Tee boxes were average. Fairways were well groomed. Greens are fast and uniform. Play was slow, but the weather was great so I cannot complain. Club choice is important because of the many dog legs. Overall a very good experience. Will play here again.
Excellent value and good layout
Played this course for the first time and was pleasantly surprised.
Greens were in excellent condition and the rest of the course is in very good condition. The layout is somewhat challenging but fair with enough water and doglegs to keep it interesting. Some minor elevation changes, but mostly on the flat side so relatively few downhill/side-hill lies. Definitely not target golf as you can pull your driver out on most holes and don't have to worry about blind shots. A bit out of the way, but definitely worth the drive as the rates are very reasonable for the golf experience received.
A real surprise
The first hole is kind of weird and the course is out of the way, but the course has some extremely pretty and tough holes.
