Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West

Entire staff was very friendly and always wanted to help

Pros:

-Friendly and accommodating staff

-Great Value

-Fairways & Greens are always in immaculate condition

-Fair, but Challenging Layout

-Excellent Drainage

I love playing this course and play here regularly (1-2 times a week). I started playing golf last season, when the course opened and attribute my great progress to Skyway. I am still a high handicap (21) and average a score of 45-50 on 9 holes (best score was 44).

•The staff is super friendly, personable and always accommodating.

•The course is fair, but challenging for all handicaps.

•It is a links course, which weekend golfers are not typically accustomed to, so recovery shots out of the fescue can be difficult.

•The course layout requires fairly accurate ball placement to stay on the fairway and presents several risk/reward blind shots, particularly on hole 7 (from tee) & hole 8 (from right edge of first fairway).

•The course has a fair balance of water hazards and well placed bunkers.

•The sand traps are always well groomed, never solidified or holding pools of water, which I have noticed on many other public courses.

•Wind conditions are a factor here, even on seemingly calm days, but really complete the traditional Celtic links-style atmosphere.

•Pace of play is overall very good, but can be take 2.5-3hrs during peak hour weekend rounds.

If you have the opportunity, definitely give this course a go, my guess is you will not be disappointed.

Hard to believe growing up in Jersey City there is finally a golf course. The golf course will give you everything you can handle. The views are incredible. The greens are truly a challenge

First time there didnt know where to hit ball but scenery was cool pace of play was good holes long enough to make it fun

With low expectations Inwas blown away by the challenging and fun nine holes at skyway. This links holds its own vs anything In the area and that include Trump's hyped Ferry Point. I played FP last year and skyway feels like the next 9 holes of that layout but at a quarter of the price. The course was in impeccable shape and the par 36ade you earn every stroke. It's truly a diamond in the rough that is industrial jersey city. Walking is easy enough and pace of play always under two hours during the week. Kudos to all involved.

really cool little nine hole course stuck right next to the Pulaski Skyway. Treeless mounded links style course looks like it belongs in Ocean City MD but is in reality just blocks from where the Soprano's filmed some scenes.

conditioning is excellent and the place is well run by a friendly staff. there is no massive clubhouse just a little trailer but they do have a cart girl.

some of the holes (4 of 9) have some blind aspects to them so playing it for the first time can be confusing. however, it is so unique you'll want to play it for the second time the very next day.

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.
