Beautiful course

Course appears east but challenges you with dog legs and pin placements. Impressed with the fairways and green speed.

Fun course, always in great shape.

I have been playing Rutgers University Golf Course on and off for the past forty plus years. For a course tucked onto a seemingly small piece of property, it is a great and somewhat interesting layout. The course is always in great shape with lush rough, well kept fairways, and firm fast greens. The management places a priority on pace of play therefore it is never an issue. Rutgers GC is mostly flat and very reasonable to walk. Always a fun round with enough challenges to make it interesting. Enjoy !

Front 9, ponderous

Played as a 2 some.. behind the slowest 2 some imaginable. A 4 some was ahead of them, and they waited way too long to hit. No chance the 2 women would hit into or reach the group ahead… so it was very very slow. Everything else was fine.

Course conditions are always good at Rutgers
