SLOWWWWWWW

Pace of play is terrible. Walked off after 3 holes as I was staring down a possible 6 hour round. Course is in OK condition. Tee boxes and rough in bad shape. Greens and fairways in good condition. Staff was friendly.

Pace of play

Ive played this course many times, but it's usually during the week. This time was on a saturday and I noticed right away that they're scheduling times only 8 minutes apart. Needless to say, it was a disaster. At one point there were 3 foursomes on the same tee box. This course has several drivable par 4 holes which obviously slows the pace down. They seriously need to schedule times at least 10 minutes apart. At the turn we went in for a hot dog and they were all just put on so they were cold and we didnt end up buying them. Maybe space them out?... to top it all off, it was $66 to play. The new owners are clearly trying to get as many players in as possible and over charging. I really hope they realize that happy golfers equals profits. Not gouging them.

Great day

Had another great day here. Only annoying thing was the ranger coming telling us to pick up the pace. When we finished in 3.5 hours. Everyone was friendly and the course was well maintained.

You can play better for the money

Ive been playing this course for years, this is probably 2nd to worst I've seen it. Fairways were in good shape, with some exceptions, greens in good shape. T boxes horrible. If you nt in the fairway your playing on a sandy brick. Hard to imagine you can't get the rought to be rough. Every time I play here the sprinklers go off in the middle of the round, cant believe they can't figure that out. Also, I had a threesome and they added a random, no big deal but, they forced me to share the cart with a random. Playing 20+ years all over NJ and the country, never had to share a cart with a random.

Great upgrades

First time playing the course since they turned over new ownership. They really did a great job upgrading the course. Was very nicely done . Took out a few trees and moved some tee boxes mak8ng the course more enjoyable to play. The staff was friendly and helpful enjoyable round. The only thing I can say would improve the experience is having a cart person.

Fun Course. Good Value

Little delayed at start, but round still was only four hours. Greens, tee boxes and Fairways in good shape. The rough could use a mow, but overall a solid, solid public course.

Able to get early morning tee time. We were paired up with two other golfers. 2 other guys were super chill and easy to play with. $75 per guy for round with cart, pretty good value imo.

Gambling on Gambler Ridge

Went out with some friend to play my first time since May. Weather was hot, humid, with threats of thunderstorms and heavy rain.

We were a party of 3 and played 15 before the weather changed to rain. Greens were in great shape, fairways were excellent. Compared to my last time there, big improvement and looking forward to continued enjoyment throughout the season.

Good Day

Tee off early to two younger gentlemen, we were supposed to be playing with jump on the first tee. They hit their balls, jumped in their cart and took off. I guess they didn’t wanna play with people. We played the front nine in an hour and 45 minutes stopped in at the turn picked up two teeoff on 10 as we finished 10 Ranger came up screaming at us saying the guys behind us or complaining. They’ve been waiting all day we did not see anybody behind us all day so I look back and those gentleman in a threesome who about 150 yards out so we drove back to them and asked them what was the problem they said they waited on the eighth hole for us to get off the green ..so we let them go ahead of us. The guy was a real idiot. They all hit their second or third shots didn’t hit the green chipped up on the green and didn’t putt out and took off. Ridiculous range would bother us with a situation like this very unprofessional. We look for a few balls rough is very high on all fairways and greens are beautiful. Tee boxes are beat up.

Huge improvement

I played this course last summer and left after 13 holes because I was frustrated by the pace of play and the course conditions. The new owner has really done good things so far the greens were on par with some of the higher tier courses, The fairways were solid, the paths are improved and pace of play was fast. I look forward to seeing how this course turns out moving forward.

Still needs help

The staff was great. Greens were very good. Fairways good. Tee Boxes terrible. The rough if you can call it that is terrible as well. I randomly picked this course traveling from Long Island to Delaware because it was not too far off the highway. For $75 I would have not played there. I hate when you read reviews that do not tell the truth.
