Beat up

I have played this course several times. Unfortunately, the course is beat up. Fairways and tee boxes were disappointing. On a positive note, the greens were in good shape.

A challenge

1st time here . Tight course , have to hit it straight and to your spots . Good amount of trouble spots all over . Course needs some work though , bunkers in rough shape along with fairways without much grass which Leeds me to believe it would be brutal in the dead of summer .Greens and tee boxes in good shape ...

Fair price

The greens are very nice but tee boxes and fairways are very poor condition. We played you could move the ball in the fairway to grass. We made the most of it and had fun. I wouldn't pay more than $35 to play it.

Course was foll of geese and geese feces. If don't mind stepping around the stuff and putting through it you can play. Fairways were in fair condition and I was constantly moving my ball to find a spot to hot it from.

Great for beginners

This is a course that you can normally find a good value deal on. It works great if you or a member of your group are beginners. Many short par 4s to go with a par 6 which is definitely different. Conditions are what you pay for. Easily one of the cheaper courses near the south Jersey shore which is a plus.

Back 9

This is the second time my wife and I played this course. We have always found the back 9 considerably easier than the front 9. This is the only course I have ever played With a par 6.

Although there are rangers out there they do not appear to be doing much. I would rather see a starter on the course.

Wet and Soggy!!!!

You always can appreciate a municipal course in your area. However, this course should not have been open. Much of the fairways were water logged and huge puddles on cart paths created continued obstacles. Clearly the course is not built to handle excess water.

Fun Round of Golf

Went out for a quick round of golf. The course was in good shape, the greens were in great shape. Rough could use some help and it would be better if the fairways were not cut so thin. We had a good time and would come back.
