Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West

Friendliest staff in the area! A hidden gem!

What a great track! Amazing they squeezed 9 really good golf holes on such a small property. This is a true test of golf and not some muni. No throw away holes and I especially enjoyed the stretch of holes 5,6,7.

Lot of talk about hole #8 but had the wind at my back making the carry easier. Fun hole.

The wind and the greens keep this course very interesting and the golfers of Hudson County truly have a gem here.

From check in to completion the staff was helpful and pleasant. I will return soon!

I really enjoyed the course however pace of play was terrible 2:50 for the round. It was father's day so I'm hoping their pace a play is much better for me to come back

So this is probably one of the most unique golfing experiences I have. I grew up in the neighborhood of this course (have long since moved to the suburbs) and never could have imagined a course this excellent in that location. I think it's a bit on the expensive side, but I sort of like it that way. It is definitely a challenge and I think the pace of play in the early afternoon has been very good. I brought one of my golf course snob friends to play and he loved it. The staff are really nice. The only challenge is that it is a little difficult traffic wise getting there from 78 or 280.

Excruciatingly slow and no help from Marshall!!! Group in front of us finished 2 1/2 holes behind with three groups stacked on tee waiting

Very solid 9 hole track best suited for advanced players. Relatively expensive compared to other municipal courses, but the quality of this track is right up against Trump Links and Bayonne GC. Typically plays quite fast since beginners have little gain coming here as there are many better options for high handicap golfers or total beginners. Amazing condition for such a young course.

Best 9 Hole ever play in NEw jersey

Cheap and well maintained.

Very narrow and a lot of balls hit into the wrong fairway.

This course is amazing! The golfer in me wants 18 holes but there's nothing wrong with going around twice!

Challenging holes definitely when the wind is blowing.

My father and I tried this course since we live 10 minutes away. We had heard it was nice. Getting there, you're thinking this is not going to be that great. Then you actually get on the course and you're amazed at how well it's kept and how quiet it truly is. The course was very nice, a little hilly for my taste. The tee shots can be tricky sometimes. The only discernible noise we really had to deal was was on the 7th, which rides alongside Route 440. That's it though. The staff was super nice. Gave my dad the senior discount when he didn't have to. Pace was going to be pretty great except we had slow walkers ahead of us. That's luck of the draw though.

Vey nice course with great conditions and even better views of the Pulaski Skyway, the Hackensack River and last but not least our Freedom Tower. Friendly staff. Perfect course to carry your bag and walk. The day was a bit windy as it runs along the Hackensack River, it was a beautiful 70 and sunny. Your challenge starts at the tee box, play within you capabilities and you will have a much better time on this course. Various tee boxes (5 total). Course was made on sand it seems so the tee boxes are brutally soft and you must hit the ball extremely clean with your irons off the tee. Hole 8 has a very intimidating tee shot where it seems you must carry the ball a mile into the wind just to hit the fairway. Fun and challenging- will most certainly return. A diamond in the rough.

2nd time I played the course and enjoyed it even more than the first time. Course was in very good condition. Played after a morning rain so course wasn't as crowded as my previous round but still took 2+ hours to play. Why anyone would ever use a cart on this course is beyond me. They could certainly use a couple of mats and nets so you could take a few full practice swings before heading out otherwise I think of this course as the Hudson County jewel.

This is a great course. Need to play it with someone familiar with it ti avoid many hazards. More fun the second time. Will play it again and again.

Fairways & greens are in good condition. However, we spent a lot of time looking for a ball anytime someone left the fairway. The primary rough is much higher than the ball. Also, there are large mounds (10' high or more) which often block your view so you can't tell where your ball lands. Then, if you are lucky enough to find your ball, your lie may be extreme do to the tall rough & the mounds. Too many blind shots and lost balls made for a less than favorable experience.

This is a wonderful golf course. Conditions are immaculate - fast, smooth greens; turf-dense fairways; sharply-cut bunkers. Definitely a diamond in the rough, and by "rough," I mean industrial parks and truck-repair facilities. It is an amazing oasis. HOWEVER, the average player here is not good. In fact, the average player is terrible, which means you're looking at 2:30 (at least) to play nine. If you have your own group and accept that it is going to be an all-day event, then you're okay. If you're expecting a "quick 9," you're going to be sorely disappointed. From what I've been told, they cut back the fescue rough to about 3-4 inches, but finding balls in it is still difficult (which is a cause of the slow play). And echoing comments on #8, the necessary carry from the tee is ridiculous.

I grew up in Jersey City and learned the game over 40 years ago on this property when it was a driving range and pitch and putt. I hit balls under the watchful eye of Milky, the local milk delivery man. Living over an hour away now, I finally found time to get up there to visit my old stomping grounds. I was not disappointed at all, the course is in great shape, almost immaculate, with greens running as fast or faster than some private clubs and the holes are very well designed. The greens are larger than average size with lots of undulations. One concern about course condition would be fairway divots, I used a cart and it was equipped with divot mix, but many people walk this course and I see tons of fairway divots which may become a problem if not addressed by maintenance. So, it has the making of being a GREAT place, BUT there are some potential pitfalls. In a couple spots the holes are too close together so errand shots might appear from other holes. It is definitely not an easy course for beginners, way too tough. Several blind shots, a couple narrow fairways and heavy rough / fescue will kill beginners. Not nearly enough yardage markers in the fairways. Not really sure why they did not invest in getting a good yardage book produced while we await the GPS companies to map the course, depths of greens would be very helpful. I also recommend management pay a visit to Hyatt Hills in Clark (another great 9 hole course) and see how (with their large greens) they have two flags on every green, giving those who play 18 holes a new set of pins to shot for on each hole. One big problem was an employee attitude, the starter Joe. When I asked if the flags were colored (red, white, blue??) for front, back, middle - he said "No, we do not have that stuff here, just eyeball the pin location?". Trust me, a few of these greens are 40 yards from front to back and eyeballing just does not work for the serious golfer. Would it really be too much to ask to use colored flags and help us know where the flags are on these big greens which are sometimes attacked with blind approaches. In summary, this is a MUST play for all serious golfers especially for Hudson County residents (great rates) or if (as a out of county person like myself) you can get a HOT DEAL at golfnow.com. Here are my tips for how to play each hole. (1) fairly easy opening hole, but approach can be a blind shot and green is huge, (2) nice uphill long par 3 with a green about 45 yards deep, (3) be very careful on second shot layup, fairway is very narrow around the 100 yard marker, second shot is blind, and green is very wide but not very deep, (4) short par 3 but very undulating, left to right slope is severe, (5) hardest hole on course and plays into prevailing wind, i might consider playing this from tips as a par 5 and play number 8 from the new special front tees as a par 4, (6) be careful on approach, do not be long, water is very close to back of the green. (7) two tiered green but very little room off back, do not be long here either, (8) also plays into prevailing wind and now has optional tees to play it as a par 4 from about 375 yards, why? because the forced carry into the wind is too much to handle for many golfers, green is very deep here too, (9) nice finishing hole with a great view. I hope 2016 brings improvements to this new course which only opened in June 2015. It has great potential, greens were an outstanding challenge. I played 5 holes from black tees and 4 from gold, I hit 6 greens in regulation and three putt three times. i also want to note that there is no food available but they recently passed the health inspection so food will be coming within next month or so. Will be back soon!

great course! from the back tees it is only 3200+ yards but with a 20-25 mph wind it has a big bite.really need to play it a few times to know where to hit your shots. this is the working man's liberty national with scenic views of the freedom tower and the Pulaski bridge.cant say enough good things about this course. oh....at $ 23 walking you can go out for dinner after.

This is a great nine hole layout. Greens are superb. Just get the course charted for gps devices.

Challenging 1, 7 and 8 hole you gonna like it. First time to play in this course.
