Fast round!

Played on a misty day after a day of rain and the course held up nicely. Greens were slow but not in terrible shape. No standing water on any hole. The course is very straight forward with little challenges. Played 18 holes in 3 hours and 15 minutes which was awesome! My Golfnow fee included cart although the course didn’t allow carts at all that day because of “rain”. I wish I had some kind of refund for that. Overall it was a good day. I was happy to get out and play.

Really liked this course.

Greens and fairways are well maintained.

Also has some challenging holes.

The one thing I didn't like about the course was slow play. This was my 4th time playing here and each round took around 5 1/2 + hours to play.

Pace of play nightmare

Golf course was real fun if you can actually finish your round in the afternoon. First of all, the golf course was backed up by 20 minutes. Not sure why that’s the case considering Rutgers is not the most difficult course to find your ball. Second, I was paired up with true beginners. Whiffing shots, hitting horrendous fat shots, 5 putting, and taking videos of their horrible swing. After finishing the front 9 in 3 hours, I decided to end the round since there was no way I’ll finish the back 9 before it gets dark. For those of you who are reading this review, don’t play Rutgers in the afternoon if you are looking to complete a full round. I recommend to book a tee time early as you can in the morning if you decide to play here.

Solid and reliable

Having played Rutgers a few times this year, it remains consistent.

Pace of play was a bit slow .

Course was in good shape.
