Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2025.

Opened in 1929, Old Orchard Country Club has a classic design with challenges that stand up to modern golf courses. Throughout the course, you'll see traces of the site's former use as a farm. Ancient apple trees from the original orchard frame many of the holes. The diverse layout will test you with a variety of different shots but the gently rolling terrain makes for an easy walk. Skill and strategy will be generously rewarded but it's not an overly punishing layout for the high handicapper. Old Orchard's greens play true and fast and they are often flanked with strategically positioned bunkers. A stream wanders through the golf course, coming into play on several holes. Golfers will face a tricky island green on the par-5 seventh hole as well as an almost-island green on the par-4 13th.

Just a tad overpriced

I've played this course many times over the past year even during the spring summer fall and during the cold and inclement Jersey weather.

The layout is good but there are many greens that have issues with patchy spots that have yet to recover and it's been that way for the year that I have played there. At $50 per round I can play the county courses which are in much better condition. Pace of play can be slow and bunkers need sand not whatever they are using in it. Lots of rocks pebbles etc and hard with no depth. However, I do like the course and hope they can bring it up to being overall competitive and DEFINITELY adjust the price. Staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend anyone to play it at least once to make your own determination. It really has a lot of potential.

Fun holes

Most holes are very long but certainly different. The course had a lot of long rough even on the tee boxes so it needs a good mowing. I've played here many times but only when I can get a good deal. It's alittle pricey. Well worth it if you can get a deal.

Nice solid golf course

Went with a foresome on Saturday....Had a 4 hr 15 min round. Staff goes out of there way to be helpful. Course has distance, dog legs, water, sand long par 3's and short par 3's. In other words the layout has it all.

The course was in decent shape. The bunkers were hard as a rock when hit into we raked up the sand and placed our ball on the softer sand for a true hit out. The course was empty that day so the play was at our pace. Have been playing here for the last 15 years and the overall conditions of the course are showing its lack of upkeep. The course is challenging and just put some money into it. The restaurant and halfway house were both closed. Also they aerated around half the greens and didn't pick up the extracted plugs right away so it made it hard to chip upto and onto the greens.

Slow play

I've been going to old orchard for over seven years.

Course has always been good and greens have been fair.

The problem I've had the last two times was very very slow play. They need a starter who will bunch people together rather than have one walker out at a time. They shouldn't have walkers until after eleven am to help speed up play.

Last round I waited for a single walker who was taking 20 minutes a hole while taking no less than 20 practice swings before each real swing. Behind him was two seniors walking and the single was holding them up.

I was behind the two seniors but after waiting 15 minutes watching what was happening I drove ahead to the eighth hole where I started my round. Hopefully they'll fix the problem.

Course needs work

The course needs a lot of work especially the greens .Maybe because it early in season but they really rough and no true rolls.The price is fair but the course needs work.....

Desperate Golfers

If it wasn't for Golf Now pricing under $20.....I wouldn't golf here. The tee boxes are like the rough at most courses. The drainage needs work and so most bunkers have water in them. The bunkers that don't have water are not raked. Patrons have zero respect on how they leave this course and it would help if the course had Rangers/Marshals. It's difficult to imagine it takes over four hours to play this short course. Be careful of rotting trees......a falling limb almost hit a playing companion. This course could be premier with a little TLC.

As Expected, A Definate OK

New Years Day golfing. Greens were fairly consistent and fast. Typical winter bumpy state due to no mowing. Typical winter conditions. Lots of mud and wet conditions. There has been a lot of recent precipitation in previous days. Long from the back tees. Many interesting holes. A few quirky ones. I have played here many times. Compared to what's available this time of year and the cost it is definitely a place I would recommend. Even in summer the conditions are only as good as the money and effort to keep the course in good shape. You can tell there are a lot of things that need attention on this course. It has a lot of potential.

The course was in excellent condition considering we had a lot of rain a couple of days ago. Very nice course with some challenging holes, favorite was par 5 7th which has an island green. Would definitely recommend this course.
