Top 2 worst course in NJ and it isn’t 2

No starter, first cart I got in didn’t start, second one I had to step on the gas for 3 seconds before it started moving, 9/18 greens had two holes because they can’t fill an old hole, greens were basically conditioned as fairways and full of old divot holes, some tee boxes look like they haven’t been cut since last season. Spend the couple extra bucks on a nicer course.

Don’t waste your money

Horrible course, greens are in terrible condition along with the fairways if you even want to call them that. Only positive is the pace of play because no one plays here so you can play as fast or as slow as you want. That doesn’t matter though because this course is worth about $5 to play and the carts barely even start up. The best part is more than half the greens have a second hole that they just haven’t bothered to fill in.

First round back after 12 years

Last time i played here was in 2012, used to play here regularly from 2008 to 2012 when i was living in Howell. rates are good. i caught a Hot Deal, 2 for $60 with cart. came out here with my son, and turns out it was car path only due to the torrential rains leading up to the day we played. The white tees were moved up to the forward Teebox. we had an enjoyable round, tee boxes and greens were in very good condition considering it was early March. fairways were very good too, but considering the amount of rain there were some holes that were very soggy.

Good conditions for this early

Decent conditions for it being early march, had a good pace going until the last 4 holes when we caught a group of seniors playing at their own leisurely pace and yucking it up with the group in front of them instead of keeping it moving. Would’ve been nice if there was a ranger to move them along, but it seems gamblers has a minimal staff until the weather gets better and the course is busier so what’re you gonna do?
