January round

Had the opportunity to get a round in on a 50 degree January day. Given its middle of winter, course was in nice shape. They should have a ranger out there to keep the pace of play moving along, it was a bit slow.

Fondness of the course - worst value in NJ

I like the layout and the conditions are fair (except the bunkers and tee boxes). HOWEVER - this place charges $120 in-season - L OH L…what a joke. This course is a $60 course on it’s best day.

Hence my subject title…worst value in NJ public golf HANDS DOWN.

Decent course - worst value in public golf

This place was $75 at the end of January and is ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS in-season 😂 I guess I’m the idiot for paying the $75. I would rather go to the driving range than pay $125 in-season out of principal.
