About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7213 yards
Slope 132
Rating 74.5

The 18-hole, public The Vineyards is situated in the South Jersey Pinelands with beautiful views of orchards and vineyards. The same meticulous care that goes into Renault's award-winning restaurant and winery went into the championship golf course that spans over 7,000 yards.

The designer kept frequent golfers in mind when creating the layout for the course but it won't overwhelm golfers with higher handicaps. There are strategic elements that offer the opportunity for risk and reward. The 1st hole is the signature hole offering a beautiful view of the vineyards. The Vineyards has a yardage of 7,213 playing to a par of 72.

Sad shape of course

Sorry to say the course is in terrible shape. Fairways are a wasteland from no rain and no irrigation. Very slow pace on the back nine. Not currently worth what they are asking. I hope it is better in the spring...

Poor Conditions

We normally enjoy Vineyard National but not this time as they have lost 50% of the fairways due to the lack of watering.. When the course conditions are this poor they should offer a reasonable credit for that day or future use. Not very golfer customer friendly. Don’t waste your money.

Sub Par Course Conditions

The extreme heat and lack of rain has seriously damaged turf conditions at Vineyard National. Fairways &tee boxes are devoid of grass and greens were only acceptable. What bothers me the most is that management continues to charge players $80-$100 per round for the privilege to play here with the course in sub par shape. I guess if players are willing to pay big $ to play crabgrass & dirt I should should open my backyard up for play. Seriously, I enjoy the layout and work they have done at Renault ,I understand the golf industry but have played $35 munis in better condition comon' man.

Going downhill fast

Played here twice in the last 3 weeks. What happened!!! This course used to be so nice but not no more. The fairways on 1 thru 14 were all dirt with weeds growing everywhere. The tee boxes were half dead. Had wished I had read these reviews before we booked. Reviewers have said it was caused by the drought ??? I dont get this because there are sprinklers up and down every fairway. I would not recommend playing this course til next year.

Greens were in Bad Shape after Aeration

First let me say I I love the Vineyards golf course and I normally would recommend playing here and I would give better ratings.

But on this day, the Pace of play was so slow and The greens were so bad & bumpy that we should have played winter rules with automatic two putts.

Not to mention, two members of our foursome quit after 9 holes and got a partial refund.

I’m a scratch golfer and the group behind me gave me crap because I played the back tees and they felt the pace would pick up if I moved up.

They hit up on us twice but I refused to lower myself to their level.

The staff at the Vineyards is great. The starter, the bag guys, the inside help… all great.

We DID NOT SEE A RANGER/PLAYER ASSISTANCE person during the 5 /12 hour round.

This is an honest review of this particular day so please take that into consideration. THIS IS NORMALLY A GREAT VENUE & A FUN TRACK TO PLAY.

Golf courses need to have holes punched in them. I did not notice any top dressing on the greens and they did not seem to be rolled to make putting more consistent.

Pace of play issues can be remedied by having a competent ranger that helps find lost golf balls for players and enforces the no mulligans/practice shot rule when the course is backed up.

No Grass in Fairways for $135 Means We Won’t Be Back

I understand that the area has experienced a very hot summer, but to charge $135 for dirt fairways is ridiculous. The greens were fine, but the cost should come down significantly or the course should be closed until grass grows back. Won’t be back for $135 when courses in the area are in much better shape for less.

Fairways

Fairways 1 - 14 in rough shape. 15 - 18 in great shape. Greens were punched recently but were still fast and smooth which required your complete attention when putting. Their trueness alowed me save my round with a few one putts.

Deplorable conditions

I was so disappointed in the conditions of the course. It was completely burnt out. The fairways were terrible as well as the tee boxes except for 17 and 18. Was not worth the senior rate of $79. Should have been reduced even further. Worst conditions of any course I have played this summer. I know it has been hard because of the drought but other course have

Dealt with it better. The place is beautiful and the amenities after are great. They are pouring a ton of money into fixing up the place but please spend some

Money to n the golf course ! So disappointed!

Atrocious conditions

Cow pasture fairways ,worst course conditions i have played maybe ever. Complete waste of money. I play over 90 rounds each year at many different courses. This DUMP should be closed until someone knows how to groom it.

Nice layout

I really like course but the drought has really hurt the conditions. Hopefully rain today and tomorrow will improve it. Greens were good but fairways were mostly browned out. Last time I played it was in better shape

Drought taking its toll

I had a great time and will most certainly return. The reason for my lower score this time around was due to the overall condition. Two factors most prevalent are the burned out fairways in different areas and the presence of geese poop on some of the greens, most notably #13. Plans need to be put in place to remediate these issues to justify higher greens fees. All that being said the staff is personable, the layout is nice, pace of play is good and as a single I’ve been fortunate to be paired with some great playing partners. The course will be back to 100% once the cooler weather returns. Certainly worth the trip!!
