Ed Oliver Golf Club

Played this course early on October 21 and then the wind started...

Tee boxes were in fair to good condition. Fairways had areas of concern i.e. swampy sections or blocked out areas on most holes. Greens were in fair to good condition. But the wind was gusting from 15 to 30 mph. This was my worst game in a long time. The trees and waste areas came into play on most holes due to the wind. Like I said, you can’t the course...

Last minute booking - friendly helpful staff- local residents say major upgrades in past year - would Play here again

I have played this course many times and have no complaints except for the pace of play. Lots of beginners and people who take 2 or 3 tee shots at every hole. No rangers on the course to help keep pace moving.

I do enjoy this course (only two par fives) because they work hard to keep the fairways nice. Some tee boxes need work but that’s typical for this time of year. Greens are in okay shape, some better than others but once again that’s typical for late September.

I've played Ed Oliver GC quite a lot over the years. Over the last three years, the course has made many improvements to get it back to being a quality round. While there is still work to be done, the course overall looked better Monday than it has in years. It seems the management is making an effort to giving players a solid experience for the money. It is convenient to my house and I enjoy a round at Oliver much more than at its partner course - Rock Manor, which about three or four miles closer to me.

I read the reviews before I booked. They were pretty rough mostly. We took the chance and found a really nice course that played well. No, it is not a 5 star course, but not many are. It was in great condotion ( maybe because of all of the rain).

Any day playing golf is better then a day behind a desk.

Course was in decent shape still some areas of patchy grass and drainage issues not overall pretty good. The greens were in decent shape. Clubhouse snacks felt a little on the pricy side but nothing crazy. Biggest grip was the lack of concern when we addressed pace of play with the ranger. The 4some infront of us had been an issue all day and when taking to the ranger the only response we got was “just try to keep up with them” as if that would make it all better

I hadn't played this course in a few years. They've made some changes and I will tell you that it's definitely for the better!! For this time of the year in the North East, the weather was a little cold but course conditions were very acceptable. I look forward to getting back out there soon!!

5 + hour round. Cranky old members in front of us who refused to let us play though. Course was bone dry, greens were baked. Hot dogs were overdone. Go somewhere else and spend your money

The greens on this course were always good but the condition of the rest of the Course had deteriorated. I had not played this course in a couple of years. They have made changes and improvements on several holes and the fairways are improved. They are headed the right direction on making this a really good Course. Keep up the good work Ed Oliver team.

The staff is very friendly but unfortunately this is where the positives end. The course is in TREMENDOUS need of tender loving care. Everything from weed and feed, grass seed, weed wackers and rollers on the greens -- although the sand traps were in surprisingly good shape. Did I mention the staff is exceptional? The course layout is okay and it isn't expensive to play and you can often finds deals to play it but even so, take your hard earned money elsewhere. Again -- the staff is great but the course needs help.

We were the 2nd to get off on the morning. They had finished their changes to the course layout. There still seems to be areas that drainage is an issue. The simple hole markers could have had a sign depicting the hole layout or yardage. It was just a post with a number nailed to it. At 11 the cart path joins the pathetic for 3 so wear your hard hat. Also the nets are down between 16 and the driving range. They could have done better with the money they used for the ponds.

It was a nice course, definitely would play there again. Some of the fairways were swampy/wet. And the greens were mushy and heavily pitted.

Given the reviews and price we though this course was going to be in better condition than it was. The tee boxes were riddled with crab grass and sun burn marks/brown and dead spots. The bunkers were hard as rock and some were overgrown and had grass in them. The worst part of the day was the foursome playing two groups ahead of us. At every hole we had to wait 5 minutes or more just to tee off and by that time people started to accumulate behind us so we had to rush. We tried hitting up on them a couple times and asking them to hurry it up but nothing worked. We thought our problems would be solved once the ranger came around and talked to them, but nothing happened he just drove away. I will never come back here again.

This was my first time playing this course. Given the fact they are in the middle of a facelift, I was impressed with the conditions and layout.

It is a fairly open and straightforward course but challenging as well. You can definitely tell where the fairways end and the rough starts. The tee boxes were decent and greens were in pretty good shape. Looking forward to coming back again.

Even given that the course is undergoing repairs/revisions, this course was in poor shape. Tee boxed hard as concrete; rough nearly unplayable for most of the course. New layout places seniors and women at real disadvantage off the tee. On most holes we needed someone to watch for incoming shots from other holes or the range. With greens right next to tee boxes, noise was a factor.
