I haven’t seen this course ever look this bad. It’s almost as if they stopped taking care of it. Course is usually beautiful. Let’s step it up cranbury !

Poor Condition

This course was a fun layout but the conditions were less than optimal. The greens were surprisingly in decent shape, not full of weeds or anything but were very slow with no true break. The fairways and tee boxes though left much to be desired. Many tee boxes were virtually barren of grass and were nothing but sand. Others were so hard I should have brought a hammer to get my tee in the ground. The fairways were hit or miss, so were nice, weed free. Others were just dead collapsed brown grass. Not a lot of weeds or anything but just bare in many places.

Poor condition

Played Cranbury for nearly 25 years and this year one of the worst conditions. Disease on fairways and greens. Little grass on tee boxes. Really hope they fix it.

Perfect weather

Had a fantastic experience at Cranbury Golf Club! The course was in great shape, but what really made the day special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to be helpful. You can tell they truly care about making guests feel comfortable and appreciated. I’ll definitely be coming back—huge thanks to the team for creating such a positive atmosphere!

Course not in great shape

The course was not in great condition. Greens were not in great shape, and the fairways were beat up. Pace of play was also fairly slow. No sign of a Ranger or anyone to speed groups up.

Cranbury golf course Review

This course is in need of a major repair. Fairways are in are all chewed up. I don’t think it’s all due to summer heat burn out.

Riding a cart in the rough is dangerously. You never know when you are going to a big bump and get thrown of your cart.

Other than that, it’s a good golf course with very friendly and helpful staff.

Mean ranger

Everything was great besides the ranger giving me a hard time for being 2 minutes late to the tee box when it was extremely slow.

Little rough around the edges

Always enjoy playing this course every couple of years because it’s close by and a fun layout, but it’s just not as in good shape as the five county courses, but it easily could be. They just need to clean up some of the traps with weeds in them, overgrown edges, or in need of more sand, plus there are lots of bare spots in fairways and even more unacceptably so, on significant sections the tee boxes.

Golf course was in terrible shape

I have played this course before and never seen it in the shape it was in the fairways were burnt out the T box's were terrible crab grass growing all around the bunkers and the greens. The front nine was worse than the back nine very disappointed. I have played this course in the past and I never saw it in the condition that it was in.

Cranbury golf course

We did a hot deal to play here. I was not disappointed. Challenging and loved it. The only thing that the bunkers were not up to snuff. Staff was awesome. We didn't get to eat at the restaurant.,next time. Greens are in pretty good shape. People do fix your pitch marks and replace divots.

We will be back again to play.

My new go to without question

I live in the ocean/monmouth county area. We have great courses, but budgets are tight and I can’t always be spending $70-125 a round. With that said, you’re not exactly thrilled with courses that are charging $25-45 a round. With the golf now app, for only a few more dollars I found Cranbury golf club, I was truly taken back at the condition of this course, not just at its price point, this course is giving these $70+ courses a run for their money. We arrived early being that it was our first time and wanted to get situated and get a few swings and putts in before we start. We left are bags by the pro shop and I had to head back to my truck to grab something, as I walk up a gentlemen is already putting our bags on a cart, over an hour before our tee time. I let him know politely that we weren’t teeing off until 9:30am and he said “no problem gentlemen, this cart is all yours.” Walked in the shop to get squared away and the gentleman behind the counter was very inviting, respectful, and polite. A rarity on alot of courses I play. I asked him for advice on how to play the course it being our first time and he gave some intelligent and comforting advice. So many courses you have to grab a few clubs and walk sometimes a decent distance to the driving range, here we were able to drive the cart directly to the range and hit a few balls. Fairways were in great shape, decently wide and forgiving, greens were honestly excellent. I’ve paid $20-30 more and the greens weren’t half as nice. Fun course, tee boxes were well taken care of and flat, I have a pet peeve about terrible boxes, kills my confidence. Couldn’t be happier with the course. For this price point this is by far the best value for money your going to find in this area and no I didn’t say best BUDGET, I said best value for money. So let’s summarize: friendly staff, excellent course conditions, forgiving and fun layout, excellent pricing, quality well taken care of golf carts, and also the added touches of the convenience of the driving range and other little luxuries such as supplying coolers on the carts with ice for any beverages. Oh and I forgot to mention, they have an app with gps for distances in case you either don’t have or forgot your range finder at home, my buddy had one on him and it was within a yard of accuracy on any given hole and easy to keep track of strokes and scores. I had a few go to courses in the area when I wanted to save a few bucks on a round and let me tell you they are now at the bottom of my list. I’ll be back very, very soon. I have a feeling I’m going to be a regular here. This is as close as your going to get being treated like your a member of a club. Oh and for the cherry on top, I had my first chip in from about 60 yards out.
