Gross

I’d rather play off Frankenstein’s fat foot than have to hit a 275yd drive in the fairway then have to play out of sand bc the fairway condition is brutal

Wow the response from the course was absolutely arrogant and self serving! Not once did I hear anything that would be considered an apology or any remorse for your bad experience! As a customer service professional I would be held accountable for that type of response. Poor or even worse indifferent customer service= poor revenue and eventually poor ROI and profits!

Easier layout. Thick rough.

Haven’t been to centerton in a few years (new owners) course is in slightly better shape than I remember, but there are still some issues with conditions. Bare patches in some spots, especially on the fringes and some fairways. Greens roll slow with hardly any break, so easier for the novice golfer. The course layout is forgiving, however the rough is very thick, so any advantage you have with the layout is swallowed up. Like backyard after about a week of not mowing thick. It also rained during our round, so I won’t take anything out on the course for that, but if it’s wet, or rains a lot the day before your round you will slosh around a largely wet course. One of the Par 4s in the back 9 was so wet in the fairway landing area, they just shortened the hole to a par 3, which was weird because you wound up playing back to back par 3s. Overall, I can tell the new owners are putting some money into the course, but it seems like the first bit of money went to upgrading banquet space and off course amenities, which we did not use. For a $42 golf now hot deal on a Sunday morning, I would say the round was worth it. I probably wouldn’t pay much more than that.

Improving

It’s improving. The fairways and greens are improving. Quite a bit of crab grass but it’s been a hot rough summer. For the money you can’t beat the course. A few cool holes including a couple par 5s which are reachable in two. Fun course overall. It was pretty soggy but we had quite a bit of rain a few days prior.

Great value and a great time

Friendly staff, great layout, reasonable rates. 1962 club is a great deal. Good pace of play during round, and course conditions were great considering the time of year. Outside bar area was a nice way to finish the round. Cart girl stopped by multiple times during the round as well. Will continue to return, would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonable way to have a good time.

Poor condition

Played this course on 8/11. Greens were in horrible shape most were covered in sand with tire mark all over the greens. I walked off after 9 holes due to the quality of the course it was very disappointing. I would recommend players not to waste their time here. Overall very dissatisfied with the centerton.

Interesting Course in Salem County NJ

This is a county course in Lumberton NJ Its wide open and very forgiving. To be fair the course was extremely wet after Tropical Storm Isiais and daily rains. Some of the greens were top dressed with sand which we found confusing in August. One Par 4 had to be converted to a par 3 due to flooding. Golf Now price was $28 which we found fair for the conditions. Will play this course again . It was nice to have a Beverage Cart on course due to the heat.

What i expected

so for the first time playing the course it wasnt too bad. The fairways are really not fairways. The grass is not thick and is spotty, there isnt a first cut for rough, you are faced with a rough that is heavily crabgrass. The greens were good, however very slow due to the weather. the flag placements were good. Another downside, were the tee boxes as there isn't alot of grass. Overall, for the money not too bad,

The course was in the best condition I have ever seen it. The new ownership is really doing a great job at turning this course around. Pace was a little slow as we played our round just short of 5 hours but it wasn’t horrible.

Choose another course

This course is aesthetically completely average or below, but what makes this golf course completely unappealing is the management and staff. If you are looking to enjoy your round trouble free and without attitude, do yourself a favor and select another course. The few extra dollars will be well worth it!! I was golfing here 2 times weekly at twilight tee times as it is close to my house, however, the last two interactions with staff are enough to keep me from going back.

1.) I played on a day with 95+ degree temperatures. I have never seen anyone on this course driving around with beverages or food to buy. I was approached by the cart attendant regarding searching my cooler. He suggested that I just put a few waters on the back of the cart in the future and he "would let me go this time." Hot water on a hot day and being possibly searched? No thank you. Being a woman and called out by the cart attendant like a criminal in front of quite a few players? Intimidating.

2) I booked a 5:58pm tee time on a Friday evening. Showed up at the course, and the pro shop was completely closed. Called the golf course and was told someone should still be there, but after several attempts they were unable to reach anyone. At this point, it was too late to drive anywhere else so the night was ruined. I was told I would receive a refund. I called the course the next day to make sure the refund was processed and was informed that it was not, and I would need to call Golf Now. I was informed by one of the owners that it was a call center I spoke to the night before. When I questioned the customer service of ruining my night, and now having to call golf now for a refund I was told the only thing that could be done was allow me to play the day I called instead of a refund. Golf Now confirmed the course could have issued me a refund. They just choose to create an extra step for me because I complained. Did your call center notify you of the problem the night before and you choose to do nothing about it? Very unprofessional!!!

Thank you for this review. As a representative of Centerton Golf Club I would like to have the opportunity to respond. Our management and staff pride ourselves on customer service. Please refer to previous reviews since we changed management March 27th, 2019. We have instituted multiple locations to purchase refreshments this season. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have decided not to fill course water coolers for obvious sanitation reasons. Therefore, we have created other locations refreshments are available for purchase. Location #1- beverage cart. The beverage cart stops around 6:00 PM- 7:00 PM based on the amount of play during that time. After some research, the times that you have played (minimal daylight left) the cart was either finished for the day or wrapping up. Nonetheless, location #2- food trailer located in front of the clubhouse (same hours of operation). Location #3- the Pro Shop from our commercial refrigerator (cold)

According to our ABC License and our landlord, we are not permitted to allowed personal coolers on the property. We are not telling our patrons they cannot bring non-alcoholic refreshments on property; we are saying they can not have them in a cooler. We do not discriminate based on gender or race and it’s absolutely appalling that you would accuse our golf course of discrimination. Our operation UNLIKE most others, prides ourselves on diversity.

On July 24th, 2020, the entire Tri-State area experienced torrential flooding. Our golf course and others in the general area were completely under water and unplayable. We will take the blame for not blocking off the 3 remaining tee times that concluded our rain-filled afternoon (2.4 inches of rain according to our weather station on property). Us and a lot of area courses have a partnership with GolfNow. They host our website and booking engines. If you booked a tee time through our website or through GolfNow, the protocol is for the customer to call the golf course for a refund. That process is pretty seamless from what we’ve found in the past. Our staff member was 100% correct. How he tried to remedy the situation was to offer you a round of Golf on a Weekend, which would be a higher rate than what you paid for a twilight tee time on a Friday ($30 difference in price).

We will continue to strive for excellence in customer service and make Centerton a premier golf destination.
