Great Experience Fun Course

First time playing here. Really enjoyed the course

Somewhat challenging for my skill level. I was ompressed with the care and condition of the course. Very well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful on the front end. Some of the staff in back seemed a little bothered by their job. Loved the scenery, the wildlife, great pace of play. Was a little on the expensive side for an out of towner. Overall, enjoyed the experience, highly recommend! Suggest better signage at the club house for dropping off bags and carts. Also, getting assistant staff to see the big picture in helping golfers have a good experience. I don't mind tipping for good assistance.

Teed off 7:45 on a Thursday. No one on front of us. Let us go as a twosome. There was a foursome

I’m back of us but we only saw them two or three times. It was relaxing not having to wait or be pushed. The cart paths could be repaved for sure. Greens

And fairways were good. Nice staff.

One of my all-time favorite golf days

From the pro shop attendant, to the starter, to the cart attendant, to the bartender, to the cart girl...the staff here made the difference from a nice golf course to a memorable experience. A special call out for Sid, one of the rangers who found my cell phone and got it back to me. Thank you again.

The course had a great layout and was in good shape. Challenging for higher handicap golfer like myself, but also forgiving enough to score well. Different tee boxes for every skill set. We had such a great time, we went out for a replay during the twilight...

Spent ten hours here, great drinks, great food, great golf on a sunny 85 degree day. It doesn't get any better than that, especially when escaping a snowstorm that dumped 2' of snow on northern NJ. I'll definitely be back.

Could be a great course again

Tee boxes all in terrible condition. Greens okay but some dead spots and rolled fairly slow. Love the layout and length of the course but charging $100 plus for basically $40 course conditions is wild.
