Nice course - greens are slow

Course was very nice, tee boxes were in good condition and the course offered challenging hole layouts

Greens were in nice condition but they were absolutely too slow

Good time

The course was in good shape and is very playable. Greens were a bit slow however they were representative of what was on the putting green. 4 hot pace which was good. Not waiting to long on some holes for those out in front of us. Worth playing.

Not scenic, but good golf holes.

Nice little golf course here. Awesome par 3’s, and a good mix of par 4’s.

Hole #9 is a best. Long par 4.

Course conditions aren’t bad. Greens need a little TLC, same with some of the fairways. Overall though, all was fine.

Worth the trip from Bergen County.

P.S.

Go to Grain House in Basking Ridge for the post round meal. Fantastic place!

Very Nice Course! Amazing Pace of Play! So FAST!!

The course is well kept as it's part of the Rutgers University Golf Course Masters program so the students keep it ship shape. The most amazing thing was the pace of play! I started sweating keeping the game at this pace! Amazing! Started 18 holes (walking) at &:30am - done at 10:45am. GREAT DAY! Great Course! NO FOOD so bring your own snacks and drinks. FYI.
