SkyView Golf Club

Very fun course. Fourth hole was interesting. Back side plays much easier than the front. Would definitely recommend especially if you can get a Hot Deal tee time.

For me there were to many blind fairways, I actually ended up playing an incorrect fairway from the tee only because I couldn't see the green after the second shot on the par 5. The greens were perferated so I'll hold opinion on them but the fairways were well groomed. All in all it's not really made for a beginner or a novice, you need to know what your doing and even at that it will take some adjusting to. Three are a lot of drop areas on way to many fairways. I only lost 2 balls but I can see a beginner running out of them by the 9th hole. The course is carved out of mountain which makes it very interesting and not so easy to play.

i love very much this golf course becouse peples frendly and challnges course but price is little high

lol just...1time..................................................

I was little annoyed playing. I was sent out by myself because the twosome that booked the same tee time didn't show up. So, I was behind a foursome that were fairly slow. I had to wait a few minutes for every shot. Also, I had a foursome behind me that was constantly hitting up on me. Which add to my annoyance.

SkyView is a great course to play. Very beautiful and scenic. The front 9 is challenging, especially, for first time playing there. A lot of blind shots. The signature hole (hole 4) is awesome.

I am planning to play this course again. Hopefully, I can find some golf buddies willing pay the high price for a round there.

Overall great. Would recommend. Just don't like certain holes on the front 9 - a lot of blind shots, which can be dangerous on a somewhat crowded course. I wish the tee boxes were more of a flat surface. On back 9 seems a little dangerous how holes are closely situated and face one other but nothing can really be done about that. Just be watchful of errant shots. On 18 there are a lot of range balls on the right side of the fairway. Watch your head if you drive one up that side. We did get caught behind a foursome that were playing tees that were inappropriate for them and, despite telling us they would pick up their pace on two occasions, they did not. Don't know if any staff members spoke with them. Course otherwise well maintained. Staff very friendly. Clubhouse nice. Practice facilities nice. Very good value. Would play again.

Many holes are blind shots. If it is the first time playing the course, you probably want to play with someone who has experience. They can tell you the places to hit to stay out of trouble. The little course map in back of the scorecard is useless. Greens are challenging also. Ball broke the wrong way more than once.

Went as a 3 some on a great deal though Golfnow to this course in Sparta, NJ; We were running a little late thanks to an accident on the highway so I called ahead to the course; They were very understanding and asked us to not worry so props to the manager and the Pro Shop.

When we checked in they loaded up the carts immediately and sent us on our way - We had a late Tee Time (4:20 PM) but by the time we started it was closer to 4:45 PM...There was no Marshall herding us around (though they were present and making sure the play clock didnt sag on us) and we were able to take our time and still catch up to the group ahead of us.

The Course as a whole is very challenging for the weekend hacker - the greens have narrow fairways but are short - You can hit the greens of several Par 4's with a good 3W or a Driver; but the true adventure starts on the par 5's - from the 2nd Hole that plays uphill all the way; to the 4th hole which pulls you through a blind tee, an extremely narrow fairway until the Jaw Dropping drop to the green - SkyView is worth playing just for that hole - Truly amongst the 2 best holes on a course in NJ that I have played on. The other memorable ones are the 9th with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountainside and the 10th with the old barn and a baffling lie (For the first time player), and a completely downhill 18th with strategically placed trees.

The overall course is hilly and the fairways and greens are in excellent conditions (Barring 1 or 2 that were being Aerated). The whole course teases you with the possibilities y being accessible, but if you relax for a second, the course bites you without warning with its vicious pin positions and treacherous slopes. We didn't get a chance to experience the club house but overall just for the playing experience it is an awesome trip.

This is an interesting course with magnificent views of the mountains. Some of the holes are quite steep and there are a lot of blind shots to the fairway and green. Be careful going down the path on Hole #4 on wet pavement. Almost completely spun out and had an accident. Overall, I would highly recommend play but from the blues. The whites are quite short at 5611 yards.

This's my 1st time playing this golf course, which was well maintained. The staff on the course was very friendly and helpful.

very tough with many blind spots. On hot days bring water there is none available on the course except at the snack bar on the turn.

A lot of blind shots so local knowledge is very helpful. Many of the fairways have densely populated wooded/grassy areas. Some are marked OB and some have red stakes. Most have nothing and I think that they are lateral hazards because you can't even enter to look for a ball, yet alone hit out. Markings would be appreciated.

I live locally and admit this is one of the nicer courses around. It is challenging with a handful of blind tee shots. The course runs through a nice neighborhood and offers gorgeous views of the surrounding areas.
With all that being said, the price of this course is way too much, especially compared to other nearby courses. It is no nicer than Farmstead, Minebrook, Flanders Valley, or Berkshire Valley, yet costs considerably more (even with an online booking discount through GolfNow.)
I like this course and will play again, just not frequently. The "fun factor" that this course generates from its challenging terrain is the only selling point. I would rather visit some of the other surrounding courses on a more repeat basis and play SkyView when I feel like being challenged.

Played in the beginning of July with three other guys and the course was great. I had read other reviews that mentioned the blind shots and i didn't realize just how blind you really were. I enjoyed the added difficulty but I probably lost half a dozen balls. Overall the course was in great condition; the greens were incredibly firm but rolled true, the views were amazing and all the fairways were well kept and mowed. I played for less than $30 and it was defiantly worth the drive and the money.

This was the first time to this course. The course is very hilly and it was cart path only...which I did not feel was needed. Only a few holes were actually wet. Secondly, the greens were so firm that you had about a 2ft window on the front of the green to land your shot or it would roll right off the back. One of the staff members said the course was playing about 10 strokes harder than normal that day, don't know if that was true. Thirdly, there are a lot of blind shots. If it is your first time there, you will want to really be careful navigating the course. I will go back and give it another chance...maybe I caught it on a bad day. Overall, it wasn't the most enjoyable day of golf I've ever had.

Ahhhh, Skyview. The name says it all. The course is pretty, with pretty views. Just to give you an idea of how nice they are, while standing on the 9th and 18th tee boxes, you can see the High Point Monument if you look closely. The course is not long at all, but it plays long because of the many elevation changes. The condition of the course I honestly I thought was comparable to a private club. Except for the bunkers which for some reason were really hard. The clubhouse/pro-shop were nothing special. I had a bite to eat after my round, and the food (Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Fries) was decent. A fun course, which (Sean the head pro there said to me) It's a course that bites you and has character. I thought that was very true.

The course itself is in excellent condition - fairways, greens, and tees are all in great shape.

Two Complaints:
1. Too many blindshots. It seemed like half of the holes had a blindshot
2. The yardage markers on the scorecard and plaque at the teebox are not consistent - so you don't know how far the hole really is.

fairway maintained well。course shape beautiful especially the 4th hole
greens a little bit slow
generally speaking great course

I found this course to be very difficult on a number of levels. There are lots of hills and a few steep drop offs resulting in you really not having any idea of where your should go or actually went. Additionally, the first few holes are way too close to the surrounding homes. The scenery is nice is some spots, but in other spots you are completely surrounded by homes (as in the holes are right next to backyards). I'm not a fan of such courses as it seems very easy to hit a house if you hit a bad shot. While the course seemed to be relatively well maintained, I found that holes 8, 15, 16 and 17 to be way too close to each other. For instance, when we were on the 8th hole, the guys on the 15th hole (which runs parallel to the 8th hole) were on our fairway for a significant amount of time. One group actually played onto the wrong green because the fairways and holes are so close to each other that they couldn't tell where to hit the ball. Quite honestly I can't blame them because as a newcomer to the course I was somewhat confused myself. There were some pros to the course. I played during the week for $40, which included a cart. Also, the staff was very cordial. Other than that, though, it really didn't do it for me and I didn't leave feeling like I got a good value. All in all, while some holes are very scenic, the course just didn't do it for me, and you certainly have to play it a number of times before you can have any sense of comfort. I will not repeat, nor will I recommend this course to friends.

Very hilly. Holes too close together and some places dangerous with range 18th hole is too close to ranges. Other holes have too many players from other fairways.
