First Time and Last Time

First time playing course and will be the last. At check in wasn’t told about outing going on and had to start on 10 not 1. Also wasn’t informed where to pick up carts. Though annoying, not the main reason I will not return. I will not return because I only played 9 holes, paid for 18, because of pace of play. Had to wait 10-15 to tee off and before every shot. The icing on the cake, the person working the pro shop was extremely rude to everyone they come in contact with. Yell at someone not to hit a ball because they weren’t answering them. Horrible experience will never return.

Great course

The only thing that is really lacking is the practice range. Not a fan of the hitting surface. And there are a lot of bad balls in the bucket

Always Great

I’ve been playing here 6 years now 7 or 8 times a year and it never disappoints. Always in great condition and now they have GPS as well. I’ve played every great public course in NJ and few can hang with Heron Glen.

Lived up to the hype

This course had it all. Challenging but doable. Practically every hole you needed some sort of strategy and course knowledge to navigate it. Playing from the white tees was tough enough, but they have a high breed versions of Gold/White White/ Blue, etc.

Super friendly staff that really stresses the pace of play. Carts are super user friendly and not only have a great GPS that shows you where not to drive, but also keeps your pace of play time.

I'll definitely be back!
