Worth the trip

Our foursome played Hopewell Valley on a Saturday afternoon. This was our 2 nd time playing the course. The last time we played it was prior to the course being acquired by Mercer County. The conditions were very good and it was clear that the county put some money into the course, repairing bridges, ,cart paths , and overall general conditions. The only complaints with the conditions would be that some of the tee boxes were a little worn and that the gnats were voluminous and annoying. We obtained a good deal on Golf Now and hope to play it again this fall.

Fun Course

A challenging course, longer yardage than I normally play, I had a good time. Some blind shots that challenge and some opportunities to hit tee shots downhill for big yardage, fun risk/reward scenarios.

Course was in very nice condition and the facilities outside the golf course looked impeccable.

Overpriced and starter was a rude douche

Course is in decent shape but the staff sucks. $70 round at 4pm…. Carts in by7… that’s beat!!! Starter was really rude and a douche. I used to play here once a week but I’ll go elsewhere now! Pre Covid this was a great place. Now it’s overpriced and you get treated like crap.

Golf now and golf course doesn't match

I was looking to play hopewell Valley course bc its in great shape and usually not bad priced. So looking on golf now it gives you 2 prices at the same time for 2 different prices. And both say walking ?? So thinking its like other golf now prices and the higher number is with a cart. Booked it and show up to the course to have tje gentleman in the clubhouse tell me it would be an additional $16 for 1 person to ride in the cart. Making my round $73 instead of $57 on a hot deal???? But the money isn't the point its why are they different and why isn't there a riding rate?? And who is in the wrong here???

Good day.

Course was in good shape. Fairways were very nice, greens were in good condition, overall the course is excellent. Could use some water in the ball washers? Maybe widen the space between tee markers?. Evidence of improvement from when they first opened. Keep up the good work.

Great Old School Course

Hopewell Valley is a former private club in the hills of NJ. Mercer County golf has taken over this course and they are doing things right. The course may not have top class private course conditioning but with the amount of play they are close to it. The pro shop , starter, and clubhouse employees were all helpfull and pleasant. I hope to play another round here on this beautiful course.
