Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West

A great challenging course without having to travel hours.

Good value and a challenge.

A tough 9 hole course that pleasantly surprised.
Good conditions too for the amount of use this new course gets

Staff was super friendly. Course in great condition. Fantastic views. Fast play-weekday round. I'll be back!!!

i play here about twice a week the staff is excellent, the course is in great shape. love playing here..

The course is beautiful. I hope it stays that way as it seems to get a ton of sun and play. Sometimes it's tough to believe there's a course this nice in JC.

If you're a beginner or slice your drives I recommend bringing a ton of balls! A lot of fescue.

The staff is very nice. Overall a nice 9 holes in JC, can't beat that.

Great little course to go out and hit shots. Def a good variety of holes. Pace of play was great! I really hope they continue to enforce that.

Not the best general location for a golf course--but then this oasis. What a pleasant surprise. From the first hello at the sign in everything was just right. The T's, the Greens, The Fairways, close to perfect. Don't know how long it will be this way, but enjoy it now. It took a few mishits to understand the other comments of ball grabbing grass. Yikes!. My fault-not the course. "Will be back with the boys for 18"

Since I am very new to the sport, This is actually the first course I have ever played. Being that I'm a new I hear a lot of experienced golfers say that this course is not easy. I play on this course at least once a week. It gets easier every time I play it. It also has made it very easy for me to play other courses. You will lose a lot of balls if you do not know what you are doing, or if you are unaware of the terrain. Don't kill yourself looking for balls you will not find. Pace of play can be slow. The staff are extremely amazing and cool. If you want to play 18 holes you have to repeat the first 9 being that there is only 9 holes on the course. Hole #1 hit slightly to your left. Hole #2 is a breeze . Hole #3 straight drive, and then you have a nice shot over the edge of some water that can be a challenge. Hole #4 is a fun par 3. Hole #5 Straight drive up the middle and you should be set sail. Hole #6 is very challenging due to the blind spots . Hole #7 is one of my favorites and one of the holes i play best on. Its tricky as well. Hole #8 is what i like to call the MAN SHOT . A nice straight drive over a pond. I have started to gain control of this hole.It can be intimidating. #Hole 9 is another par 3 that is very fun. The pins get changed frequently and the greens bring lots of variety to do so. There is no trees . If you hit off course pray that you don't hit another golfer on another hole lol. Great Course. I have played on several courses since i have caught the fever. This course is good to go.

An experience like no other. Wonderful city views of Newark, The Pulaski Skyway and other bridges, the bay, boats and The World Trade Center. Had a pleasant round with wonderfully kept fairways and greens. A very slow foursome in front of us at 3 but they let us play through and our twosome finished nine in well under 2 hours. I live in VT but this round of city golf was one of my most enjoyable all year.

I was able to book this course same day on Golfnow which was very accommodating as I wanted to get out and play. This course was pretty well kept, good amount of divots in the fairways but the greens were nice. Some holes were pretty challenging especially the par 5's. There is a good amount of sand traps and rough/tall grass so you have to be on point! Fun course overall with different scenery as opposed to some of the courses up north or out west.

Course very challenging laid out nicely love the local character ... Stay out of the fescue .. Championship caliber pin placements... Good luck reaching the fairway if the winds in the wrong direction on number eight ... Enjoy

This was my first time playing this course & only my fifth time on a course period. Not very forgiving & you will lose a lot of balls in the rough. You need to be straight with you tee shots. Very hilly, you will lose sight of the flag easily. Fescue everywhere. 8th hole is an absolute nightmare. Good luck out there. Keep them straight & long

In the last 10-15 years Hudson County gave birth to two private golf courses, both of which too expensive except for the 1%. Hudson was the only county with no public golf course. This all changed with the opening of the Skyview Gc. This was a flat area with soil infused with toxic waste, so bad that ground underneath was on fire for years. It took the company that puts oil well fires out to kill the fire. What has been built is simply amazing. They must have brought millions of cubic yards of soil to make this course. It was worth it. Though the area is confined it does not feel that way, for the most part when you play the course you see only the hole you are playing. The mounding and the elevation changes make it so. I should mention the course is 9 holes, 3 par 4's, 3 par 5's and 3 par 3's. I played shortly after the course opened and the conditions were superb. There are 5 sets of tees making it playable for most golfers. It is too early for a slope rating but I would suggest it would be in the 120's. The views are terrific the Pulaski Skyview is the dominant view you also see the new WTC and the Empire State Bld. from various holes. Hole # 5 is a longe par 4 I think the toughest hole, the first par 5 dogleg left is treacherous with the second shot, # 8 requires two water carries to green. If you play 18 holes play from different tee to make it more interesting.

Better than i ever imagined ! As a jc resesident i played old pitch and putt and was blown away by the use od such land ! Never thought the county could / would do anything so nice ! BUT too good i found it too difficult for the average golfer and even with a 9 handicap I found it difficult to keep it on the fairways ( lost 5 balls ) ( down tge middle) priced a little high but i def recomend a friend ! Great job County execitive Degiese!

I was able to get a tee time for $20 with a cart 3PM on 7-25-15.
This course has blown my expectations. Now the only negative was pace of play due to high demand. It took about 2 hours and 50 minutes to play this course. I will probably play in the weekday mornings to avoid the peak demand time. My playing partners wanted to play the black tees and i held my own. Hit a 294 yard drive on #8. Just make sure to have your B game since bad shots will hurt your game(fescue). We have a gem in Jersey city folks please take care of the greens.

This is the 3rd time I've played Skyway, and I find the course fairly challenging, but the level of players on this course tend be mostly beginners or very inexperienced golfers. We waited on EVERY shot during the 9 holes and it took 2:45 to play--that's insane! I was paired with 3 nice guys, but one guy had NEVER played on a golf course (he said he's hit balls on a driving range, but I saw no evidence that he knew which end of the club was up). I highly suggest that the course cut down a lot of the long fescue, because most of these golfers will NEVER give up looking for a golf ball that they will NEVER find. The rangers have to do something to push play along faster, and the course needs to encourage (insist) that all new golfer (male or female) play from the most forward tees.

Wow!!! Buddy invited me to check out JC's newest addition and they got it right! Awesome backdrop on a challenging course. Felt like we were in Scotland -not a tree to be found and target golf as the rough (fescue) will swallow your ball if you miss the fairway. Both greens and fairways have undulations and the wind can kick up to throw another curve at you...staff was friendly and it was a great experience and I plan on visiting again soon...

I played skyway for first time today. It was a virtually surreal experience. Having worked 2 summers there in 1974 and '75, I remember what this place looked like. It is now a beautiful, thoughtful, challenging golf course. The first nine there was barely a 4mph wind, by the second it was 10-12 w a gust or two. The course is so well designed, that the second nine played very differently , and I used different clubs on every hole. I could not be happier that the next generation of Hudson County golfers get to learn the greatest game at this awesome place.

Fun and interesting course. Long from the tips. Course is in good condition. No driving range or warm up nets, just a putting green. Premium for accuracy off the tee.

This course is 7 minutes from my front door.. I'm very excited to have such a nice course sitting in my backyard. However, although the backdrop and scenery is dramatic (WTC/Ny/historic Jersey City/Newark and Bayonne industrial remenants) don't let this relax you or you WILL lose alot of balls! The fairways are narrow and fescue is everywhere.. And it has arms that will find and hide your ball if you're not a straight shooter. The greens are wel cared for and fairways in great shape, USE EM ! the course plays long from the tips and with the space they had, they had to make it tough.. And it is, but it's a great setup and if you're looking for a challenge with a great backdrop, skyway is it. I waked this but will stick to a cart next time. Lotta up/down action. Overall, I say A+ to the city for finally setting this up !!
