Great twilight 9
Always a challenging and fun course to play. Good long par 4/s and 5's and demanding par 3s
Great golf day
First time I played here. Condition of the course was near perfect! I gave 3 stars on pace of play due to a twosome ahead of us was backing up the course. Three Rangers rode past this. I advised one of this concern and no action was taken to speed them up. Course layout is good, but only 9 holes, maybe one too many par 3's, a par 5 that requires a good shot off the gold and black to be on the fairway (love this challenge though). Staff was very friendly! Value for the money is fair. I'm use to better rates and play 18 in the mid-west. Maybe I'm expecting too much. I will definitely play this again and again!
Not Inviting to NYC Residents
I was real excited to play this one. It's in fairly good shape and has some scenic/ unique holes. But what a poor experience. Paid $80+ for 18 holes (cart + green fees). Not a county resident so they charge me more, then it took 3 hours to finish 9 holes so I have to go back to finish my 18. It was definitely slammed because of the great weather but putting me out 20 mins past my tee time and then crediting me $27 after I spent more than $80 to play 18 is not what I would consider a fair deal. I now have to come back to the course and spend more (but no use debating with guys in the clubhouse). I think the greens fees now are ridiculous for the course. This is a great example of why golf is dying. How are twentysomethings supposed to afford this? It's admirable that the architects somehow fit 9 holes into a dump but I'd hardly call this a 9 hole course. The par 3's feel like a pitch & putt. I'd prefer 6 holes with a middle and back 6 to complete my 18. If you're in NYC go elsewhere - even commuting from Midtown which is so easy this place is not too inviting to us city folks. It was in good shape thus the 3 stars even.
Value for Money
My first time on an extremely hot day. However, was distracted by the beauty of the course. Great introduction to Links courses. Will play early morning next time to truly enjoy this course.
Amazing Find
Love this place! The staff is so hospitable and the course is challenging and fun. The Track is well maintained and although I don't play on weekends the pace of place has always been great for me. Sometimes I wish I had a caddy there for the balls in high grass, but other than that the course gets no complaints.
Additionally, playing solo there I've met a number of great guys on the course. Definitely worth the trip out to Jersey City!
Good nine holer
Played mid week around 2. The. Course was for the most part empty. Conditions were very good. Pace of play wasn't an issue since the course was empty.
Nice mix of holes. Will definitely be going back
Too slow
Lots of beginners out here
20 minute wait between holes
Staff was nice enough to give a rain check so I'll try again during the week
Looks beautiful
Great 9 Holes in a not so great area.
This 9 hole course is very new and it was my first time there. It was well worth the very busy traffic getting there to play, which is the main reason I say "not so great area". That being said, the day before 4th of July was a crowded hot day, but there was a nice breeze and the starter does an excellent job getting you out in a manner that the pace moved along very well with minimal backups. I'd call 2 hours and 10 minutes very good for a busy day. For a 9 hole in a tight spot I was surprised at how well they fit the very nice variety and challenging holes. Skyway is like an oasis in the industrial trucking section of Jersey City. I played again the following week and will definitely play more in the very near future..
Don't Let this 9 Hole Course Fool You
First thing that stood out to me is that Skyway is very well maintained. If you have played other courses around NYC then the bar is lowered in terms of course maintenance. Skyway puts those courses to shame.
The design is ridiculous (in a good way), it truly is astounding how they were able to fit 9 very fun holes into the space they were given.
It may only be 9 holes, but the conditions and difficulty are better than some 18 hole country clubs that I have played.
The price with cart is a bit much for 9 holes, $45 for a non-Hudson County Resident. With the county resident card, I believe the price drops to $30 -$35. Which almost makes it a bargain.
I am sure this will become my home course.
Very good location in urban setting
First the proximity to my work is unreal - same street. Being that I work late afternoons, get a tee time at noon, play 9 in a couple hours and to work in a couple mins (could even walk). Like most have said on previous reviews, great conditions and always slightly windy to keep it challenging. Wish it was 18. (3) par 3's, (3) par 4's, (3) par 5's is a nice mix. Feels slightly tight because the of the shared boundaries between the longer fairways. And it seems crazy but I find more balls here than anywhere else - think no one looks very hard. Pace of play is hit or miss. This will become my regular weekly stop.
Golf in the sky
Love the course, Love the layout and it's views. I'm a Hudson county resident and I've been waiting for a golf course in the county for a long time so I'm glad we finally have one. In my opinion I think that the course plays great for all type of players, it's always in great condition and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely continue to play there and tell other to play it as well...
Skyway
Skyway GC is a very good 9 hole course! There are some challenging holes and it's in great shape.
The way golf should be
This is quickly becoming my favorite spot to play. If you live in downtown Manhattan this is a no brainer to try out.
35 isn't cheap list price for a 9 hole course but the value is comparable to a very high end course. If this were 18 it would be comparable to ferry point.
3 3s, 4s and 5s. If you carry your drive 250 play from the tips. Will test every club in the bag.
Windy location. And you get both SE and NE winds which makes the course pay very differently. Usual is a 2 club wind.
No driving range. But they have warm-up cages for 2 bucks.
Great Course in Jersey City
Good condition, great layout, you can walk the course, breeze can make course fun and challenging. Enjoyable course. Will play again
Well kept fun course
Played mid-week in windy weather. The course played very short from the white tees. Probably would play further back next time but due to the wind and no course knowledge teed it forward. Course was in great shape fairways rolled nice and greens rolled true. Nice layout no pace of play issues...couple older guys walking let us play thru without issue. I will definitely return here.
Skyway Golf Course
My experience was very good. This was the first time that I played the course and found it suprisingly difficult for a nine-hole course. I enjoyed the challange that the course presented and would go back to play it again and would highly recommend it everyone.
My only critisim would be that there were no facilities on the course; howver, it is early in the season and porta potties may be available later. Since this was my first time at this course I do not know if porta potties are available during the season.
Highly recommended!
Fair price, unique golf experience in Jersey City with spectacular views. Definitively worth your time and money!
