Hanover Country Club

This time of year, I don’t expect too much. However the greens are marked up. The carts steering was broken The fairways contain a lot of hard pan. Overall just nor a great value

A big problem in the pro shop the pro was very nasty to us Told me not to show up an hour before my teetime to practice?? since I had a hot deal Do not show up early.? very unprofessional!! I told him just let us know when tstarter is ready for us. We will be chipping and putting and hitting balls in the driving range. what me off he was telling other customers in the pro shop that I show up early to T off ridiculous. Very unprofessional

If you’re paying 80 bucks for a teatime, I think the pro shop would be a little nicer. The Course conditions would be a little nicer. Didn’t look that well maintained.

Always have a great time here pro shop is so friendly stopped in for a hot Dog after after nine always enjoyable

You will always get pretty good to good conditions with good greens.

two players as we were ran into four foursomes ahead so they let us start on one again.

Course is in great condition. Greens are nice. Staff is always friendly. Always have a good time here.

One of the best value courses in NJ. Conditions could be improved a little, club house and food could be better, but then the price would be doubled.

Interesting layout, somewhat forgettable flat front 9, back 9 is a totally different course with elevation changes, dog legs and challenging bunker placements.

Beautiful day had no one ahead of us are behind us all day

Extremely disappointing experience — management needs to take a serious look at this course.

The biggest issue was the pace of play, which was absolutely unacceptable. The group in front of us finished approximately 41 minutes after the foursome ahead of them. That is an extraordinary delay and should never be allowed to continue unchecked.

What made the situation even more frustrating was that a course employee was aware of the issue but did little to address it. We were left with the impression that the slow group had a personal relationship with the employee, and therefore the normal expectations regarding pace of play simply did not apply to them. Other groups were apparently allowed to play through at the turn, but we were not given that option.

Golf etiquette is straightforward: keep pace with the group ahead of you. Course employees should enforce that standard fairly and consistently—not selectively.

The irony is that we had a writer from a local golf publication with us who was there specifically to experience the course for a potential article in the January 2027 issue covering public golf courses in New Jersey. The course had an opportunity for positive, unpaid exposure and publicity. Unfortunately, after this experience, that opportunity is no longer on the table.

Then there are the golf carts. Quite frankly, they were among the worst-maintained carts we have encountered at a New Jersey course. Some had holes in the flooring and were in obvious need of replacement or significant maintenance. That is not the standard customers should have to accept.

The frustrating part is that the course itself has potential. With the right ownership or management, better maintenance, and someone who understands customer service and pace-of-play management, this could be a much better golf experience.

Unfortunately, potential only goes so far. Management has to actually manage. Allowing one group to hold up the entire course for an extended period while apparently doing nothing about it is poor customer service and poor golf-course management.

I sincerely hope the ownership takes these concerns seriously. The course doesn’t necessarily need a new layout—it needs better management, better accountability, better-maintained equipment, and consistent enforcement of basic golf etiquette.

There is potential here, but based on our experience, significant changes are needed before I would recommend this course to other golfers.
