SkyView Golf Club

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!

Can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this round. The course wines through the woods And a mountian. I could see some people not liking it if they spray it. It feels narrow at times and the elevation changes are tough to figure out. But I really enjoyed the challenge. It was cart path only. The walking was tough. But since I normally walk when I play. It wasn’t an issue. It’s a trip from nyc. But worth it.

Played 10/4 - the course was in pretty good shape, but soggy two days after rain. That meant cart path only, and a lot of casual water. Also, the greens were recently aerated.

I’m okay with aeration - it’s that time of year. And there is no way carts should be off the path when the course is that wet. But, do yourself a favor and give a call before you book to ask about the paths. There are a lot of paths that run far from the center cut, and the hills can be brutal.

From the moment you get out of the car you get a friendly greeting. Unfortunately I was there on a day when it was cart path only and also hot. I hope to come back and play later in the year when you can drive the cart on the fairway. Can't wait to return.

I played Skyveiw today for about the 20th time. I was more than disappointed that it was cart path only. I was not informed in any way till I got there. I am to old to be walking and searching for my ball, taking 3 clubs all the

way across a fairway. And to be honest only 2 holes were wet enough to avoid! If I knew in advance, I would not have played.

As far as the course goes this is one of the nicest you can play in NJ. So pleasing on the eyes!! You can seriously get lost in the scenery. This course is very hard. You need to hit the fairway or it can easily spiral into a double or triple bogey hole.

A few suggestions:

1. Give some type of yardage book. Better yet maybe a tip sheet to help with all the blind shots you will take on this course.

2. Make it a par 70!! Give us back a stroke hahaha ...you can easily change one of those long par 4’s into a par 5. On paper it says it on the shorter side as far as yardage. I promise you it plays so much longer with all the elevation changes.

3. This was my only negative on the day. Normally this stuff wouldn’t bother me but it was on another level. The cart girl was so rude and nasty to my group. She just straight up drove past us 4x without even slowing down or looking to see if we were waving her down. The young lady working the snack shack after Home #8 also seemed like she couldn’t be bothered. These young ladies need to take a lesson from the young man at the first tee box. He tried to give us a few tips, got us out on time and recommended a few other local courses when I asked for his opinion. That was a great way to start our round.

All In all it was a first class course! If you’re an hour or so drive from this course get in your car and check it out.

Very challenging course even for intermediate player, especially the front 9.

I’ve played here a few times through Golf Now and Course is in great shape. Very hilly course and a few holes are very challenging, especially the fourth hole that is a par five, double-blind shot hole. Don’t like playing this hole as it is hard to find your ball and unless you know exactly where and how far to hit it, you’ll hit it out of bounds. Most other holes are challenging but fair.

New club pro started last year I think and he has made some improvements to hole #4 to make it more playable. Greens are in good condition, but roll a little slow. Rough not too tall that you can't find your ball but enough to make you think twice about club selection. Will definitely be back!

Had a great day of golf here. Very challenging, especially the 4th hole, but that’s what I look for when golfing. Course was in great shape and staff was friendly and helpful. The only downer, was that we didn't see a snack cart until the afternoon, but there was a conveniently located snack bar on the course. I am looking forward to playing here again soon.

Four a first time playing the course it was pretty difficult, blind shots and no course guide. GPS in the carts or a more detailed score card wiuld help. The course is in great shape and scenic.

Played this course because I heard a lot of good things about but I was a little disappointed after my round. To start off I was informed that the course was cart path only although it was a gorgeous day which made no sense. There were also a lot of people doing maintenance on course with loud noises going on when playing. No water coolers on course was a big disappointment. Course itself is okay. Greens are super slow. Hilly layout made it a challenge. Plenty blind shots and score card gave incorrect #s for length of holes. If you’re nearby I’d suggest playing any crystal springs course or Berkshire Valley / Bowling green before heading up here.

Good conditions, greens a little slower than usual but still a great course!
