Super Golf Experience

Great track with a lot of shot placement requirement. If you are not careful it's like a day at the beach if you get my drift.

This has fallen off

I’ve played here before when the course was in tiptop shape, that is not how it currently is at all. The tee boxes were the worst I’ve ever seen them and so was the range. Lots of weed patches in some of the fairways and a fair amount of dead patches. Greens were in pretty good shape but needed to be rolled. I like this place a lot so hopefully they get it together because yesterday was disappointing.

It's Good There

Heron Glens is good there SZN.

Tee boxes, greens, cart girl, bunkers -- it's all mint. Nothing chewy,

We will go back and go low again. I mean, real low. Greens under attack. Aaaa-nnd attack !

Prepare yourself for a looooooong round

Guys at the check in area didn’t even move to help with our clubs. “Just take any cart.” Teed off on time and then waited at Every. Single. Hole. Sometimes a third group would be pulling up. Our round was 5+ hours. It was ridiculous. No marshall to be found. In the pro shop checking in I heard them telling someone to go to hole 8 and warn the group to speed it up. They were 2 holes behind! 2 holes!!! . Like make your tee times further apart. 10 minutes is clearly not enough. We kept getting warnings on the gps to speed it up. 12 minutes behind, 22 minutes behind, 33 minutes behind. Yea we get it…not our fault!!! For what we pay, you can do better.

Good condition

Went out early, pace of play great until back nine. Called club house and they sent ranger immediately, impressive. Staff helpful and friendly. Handful of traps not raked but it was early still. Challenging layout, greens in really good shape.

Worth a visit

I play Neshanic five times a year and wanted to come back to Heron Glen. It’s a really nice course and more challenging than the 126 slope rating. Highly recommend.

Heard a lot and was not impressed

It was cart path only which made the pace of play horrendous but there was not a ranger in sight to help out all the old timers putzing around the course who were just slow as heck and not being smart like bringing a wedge and putter and then walking all the way back for the putter or some other inefficient scenario causing even longer delays. What really got me though was the amount of crab grass and weeds in the fringe around the greens. I have heard so much about this course and paid a lot of money to almost lose my ball multiple times in the crab grass fringes of multiple greens not just one or two. It was pretty and a nice setup but basic greens keeping seems to be lacking there

Still Top Public Course in NJ.. Awesome

Heron Glen really takes care of their golfers. Place is in great shape. Traps are same as any private course in NJ if not better. Fairways are wide and in top shape, They let the rough grown in nice and fescue etc great shape. Greens were really in top condition. Tee Boxes most were in in good shape some had a little wear from play. Branden in pro shop nice guy, starter Alan nice guy. Overall great course and staff. This place is the top public golf course in NJ. Must play if you are a golfer. You will really enjoy this layout.
