Do yourself a favor and play someplace else for the same price

This was my second round of the day (Played Architects early in the morning and decided to play another round on my way home to NY) I had played here before so I should've known better and went somewhere else.

Let me start by saying this. The couse conditions are pretty good overall so I'm not knocking that. They keep the place pretty tidy and with all the rain in the area the night before, the course was still in pretty good shape.

But, this is an extremely gimmicky golf course. The 4th hole is the dumbest golf hole I've ever played and reason enough for me to never return. As soon as I got to that tee box, I remembered why after last time, I never wanted to play this course again. Good shots are not rewarded at all. Hit a perfect shot and you may lose a ball.

Hate this course. For the same price you can go play a much better course nearby.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

My son and I BOUGHT a golf card from the NJ Herald allowing a free round of golf from different golf courses which included Skyview Golf Club (which we have golfed here plenty of times before) in Sparta NJ. Even though the card says NO restrictions, I called Skyview Golf course anyway on May 26, 2019 to see if they would accept the golf card on Memorial Day. I was informed YES and that I/WE would only need to pay a cart fee. We arrived at our scheduled tee time on May 27, 2019 to golf and was told that they were not accepting any promotions. I was told we needed to pay $150 or we could not golf. The money was NOT the issue. We decided to go the Culver Lake Golf Course where they gladly accepted the golf card. We had a great time ! Thank you DIANE !! NOT good business by Skyview Golf Course,,,,, they weren't even busy anyway !! I even asked the employee, Zach, to call his boss, Rafael, because I was so annoyed, but was still denied.

It was our first time playing at SkyView. The guys we hoped up with played several times before and were great guides. We will definitely go back and play again.

Awesome views

Course was in great shape. First time playing it and there are several holes with blind shots so that made it very challenging. Restaurant is only open on weekends so that was disappointing given its remote location and lack of food nearby. I’d go back

Hole 4 was dangerous.

Hole 4 is bad anyway. When it is wet it is treacherous. We skidded and turned the cart 180 degrees. Other than that crazy hole...good course.

Good Value

Hadn’t played Skyview in a long time. Good layout and challenging holes. Greens are undulating but fair. The course is short, but there are a couple uphill par 4s that will play longer.

North Jersey Favorite

A very fair golf course. Takes a few rounds to get the feel but then it becomes quite enjoyable. Lots of great views and scenery. Wide fairways and well maintained greens.

Fun layout

Fun layout built into the hills of northwest jersey. Open and tight, great variations. Played on a cold wet day, but still enjoy it. Greens in excellent shape for so early in the season. Will definately play it agian.

Very Very Cool Layout be ready for some shot making golf

After about .4 inches of rain overnight I searched Golfnow for nearby late round deals (under $35 with Cart I consider) Landed at SkyView GC in Sparta NJ in early April and the course was in fun shape (low rough no fescue) and greens running true! Bunkers played true and I did not see any with standing water which after the rain I was impressed by. The course layout is certainly a challenge for any golfer who does not have great control of trajectory because of the many different elevations you will be hitting from/to. I'd recommend keeping the driver in the bag at this shorter course and make sure you find the short stuff off the tee. Will be back!
