Beautiful mountain course. Great Conditions!

First hole gives you a chance to find your rhythm and see how ball placement under the hole can help with these fast undulating greens. 2nd hole up the hill par 5. Open enough but often plays into wind. The 4th hole is another par 5 which is narrow from back tee and plays along a ridge, then severely downhill to a blind green if you are back too far. Fun hole but requires precision. I think 2 hybrids and a short iron may be the best way to handle this one. Unless you love your accuracy with driver. Great match play course as there are so many unpredictable bounces. Elevation changes will keep you working the numbers. Overall great! I struggled with this course first couple times. Getting to know it better now and enjoying the challenge. Nice bar and friendly staff.

Short and Sweet

I'll be honest, I had minimal expectations heading in here. I'm not the biggest fan of up-and-down golf, but this course made me a fan. Big elevation changes here, but once you embrace it, all goes better than planned. Good conditons. Greens fast and true. If nothing else, the views are outstanding. Very happy to have made the plunge. Will definitely be back.

Too many blind shots

Course is tricked up... too many blind shots and elevation changes. 8th and 15th fairways, tee boxes right next too each other , squeezed in. Go in the Fall for the foliage, not for the golf. Course is very frustrating.

Awesome

Want a great course to play this is the one excellent conditions. You must play the course as it is designed no need to use driver on a lot of holes. I'm an advance golfer who also teaches USGTF certified.

Sky View

Quite Monday morning tee time , arrived early. Clubhouse was friendly. Clean facility. They have an up hill practice area where you can buy a bag of balls and practice off matts or grass (grass area was prohibited that day) also a nice putting green. Teed off on time, into a wide open 1st hole fairway to boost confidence. Course was challenging and fun, a lot of hills. My buddy has been to Sky View, so he helped navigate some blind shots. Hole 4 Par 5 was FUN! Fairways and greens were in good shape. Concession stand after 3rd & 8th Holes that had all the essentials. Incredible views of the mountains and nearby lakes, the course has a nice layout. Good day, will return.

Blind = Challenging and fun

Skyview is a great track not too far out of the NYC metro area that can be played for a great price. The 1st hole is a tease as its short and the easiest on the course, but when you get to the 2nd, you easily find out what makes Skyview so difficult when you're shots aren't flying straight or long. Course is in good condition, w/ longish rough.

PROS: Couple Blind shots, challenging elevation, tight layout, some unforgiving greens, scenery

CONS: Blind shots (can lead to slow play for those NOT in the know), for better players so when below avg golfers play they suffer and cause delay, traffic builds up on 3-4 and then on 8/15

Short but tight and challenging

You won't need a driver on this course unless you are naturally aggressive and have good control. The course will beat you with narrow fairways and tough greens. Play it smart and you will score well. I played as a single and finished my round in 2 1/2 hours. That must be a record in New Jersey, even for a single. I caught two groups during the round and both invited me to play through. Those groups' charm and thoughtfulness is reflected by the staff too.

Challenges Galore

Not a long course but don't let that fool you. Lots of blind shots so you need to drive up and see what's in front of you. Rangers were extremely helpful. Played in 4 hours even with an outing going on in front of us. Can't walk this course, way too hilly and way too much distance between holes. I would suspect walking isn't even allowed. Played at senior rate which was $39. Can't beat that for value. I suggest you play it once and make up your own mind. I'll be back. My partner won't because he didn't like the blind shots.

Great Experience

I initially played this course as it was convenient to get to from my home. After my first round, I was hooked on the challenge, course layout and condition, food/beverage options and the general hospitality of the staff; on and off the course. This course is a very good value for the money and a scenic treasure. If you had only one round left in you, it should be played here.

You need a sherpa to play here

The course is beautiful. It has so many blind shots it is ridicules. The yard markers are useless. We played in 85 degree weather and not one water cooler or cart girl on course. The course lay out is tortally frustrating. We would never play here again.

Blind Shots All Over the Place

Too many blind shots to play with folks who rarely play here. NO WATER to drink anywhere on the course. Bring your own or buy it at the pro shop. We played after 1500 so no cart girl on the course. Overall the course is in great shape but I won't go back unless this is the only deal around.

I Had a great Time

This was a very nice and well kept course. A little more money than I usually pay for a round, but not super high (I'm just a cheapo). Very pretty course very well maintained and just the right kind of challenging. Definitely would play again..

Overall, high value

Skyview is a great course to play- the scenes from hole to hole are impressive and the course conditions and above average. I would highly recommend this to my friends- the only drawback are the after course bar area- truly lacking considering the course it represents when you compare it to Black bear or Crystal Springs...
