Fun day

Started as a single and zoomed though the first 8 holes. When I caught up with everyone it slowed down as expected. Still played in 3:45 minutes.

Fairways are generous and greens out true.

Hoping to go back and play again soon

5 greens

Course was challenging making you use all clubs.

But was disappointed with greens 5 out of 18 greens almost unplayable they should give you a cut rate. That's almost 1/3 of the holes .

Therefore I can't recommend this course.

Very Bad Green Conditions on 5 or 6 holes!

5-6 greens were HORRIBLE and we should have been warned! Sand + tall grass on greens under repair are unacceptable - especially for those rates!

5 greens were a mess as they have lost them. Great layout, challenging with lots of water.Fast pace as no one in front of us because everyone was playing Palmer course as the greens there were in top shape..8$ for a draft beer?Got a hot deal so it was worth the price.

Thanks Arnie

Great day of golf only made better by the helpful and friendly staff.

From arrival at valet parking to our return every staff member was upbeat and cordial helping us first timers navigate, from parking to pro shop, to practice range, to the first tee.

Then came a great course that has a picturesque layout while being both challenging and fair. Would love to come back in the spring when the fauna is In full bloom

Great

Very nice course, very friendly staffs! Good path! We asked to play Palmer course Instead since we know the saddle brook resort course is under repair of the greens. Only thing I was not happy is the parking which charges $5 for valet parking. We gave tip for valet! What’s the $ 5 For? We pay green fee already, should have free parking! Is it right?

Greens in horrible conditions

I would not recommend playing this course at this time. 6 of 9 greens on the front 9 were unplayable. The staff or starter didn’t mention anything about the greens either. Very dissatisfied with the course.

Resort golf

This us a wonderful resort with great service from a friendly staff. The golf course had excellent fairways and the layout was challenging yet playable. Unfortunately there were 4 very bad greens with somewhat diminished our experience.
