Rutgers University Golf Course

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

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.

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!

Course in good shape, greens too, but some golfers need to fix their ball marks. Not water, no ball washers, no amenities.

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.

The course was in great shape

Pace of play was terrific

Plan to be be back

Great layout friendly staff however no amenities and way overpriced compared to other golf courses around.

I like playing here, place is a little beat up, but I’ll blame Covid. Could use a snack stand being open

It’s kinda crazy that Rutgers doesn’t have a problem letting their students share rented scooters, that are laying all around the campus, but there are no ball washers and no drinking water on the course, not to mention a usually very good half-way house is shutdown… when is the COVID madness going to end?

Also, for a golf course attached to a university with a well respected golf turf management program, the fairways, rough and even the greens are in surprisingly poor condition.

As a player of more than 20 years, I’ve known everyone who’s been connected with the RUGC for many years. The staff is without question wonderful. The manager, however, is bereft of any social skills and personality. I knew the young man while he was a fledgling student at Rutgers. He has become a bane in my opinion. Why? He demonstrates zero accord when it comes to understanding the power of influence or long term relationships. He has repeatedly overcharged my son and I. My son is a 3rd year student. Boasting a 3 handicap, the manager insists on charging us full price, not for students, but full price for everything. I’m a senior and he’s a student and we often play only 9 holes. The pace of play is not conducive on most days to continue 18 holes.

The staff is amicable, affable and friendly. But that’s because these people are older men who value relationships. Mr. Bob is a young hot head who has nothing but contempt for the public. Perhaps he should find himself doing other things…. It would certainly make the RUGC experience a bit better.

Nice course, pretty flat, Big fast greens, not overly long, just right length for seniors. I and my group would play there more, but a little too expensive for seniors.

play 2 rounds a week...great staff and usually great pace of play....

PACE MONSTERS!!! Great for me because im a "quicker" player. The main reason for multiple replays here is the pace. You can expect a 4hr round (+/- 10min) The Marshalls WILL MOVE YOU ALONG if you're not doing so yourself.

This isn't the course where you F around with your group and go ball shopping in the woods. Period. They'll skip you a hole if you gap out too far..

Course is always well maintained and presents a challenge from any tee box.

Enjoy!

decent course, but absolutley ridiculous that there was no drinking water on the course, water fountains disabled, just one vending machine largely sold out, and all on a 90 degree day. Do the people managing this course really think that it's wiser to remove waterfountains, or not put out watercoolers, etc. rather than risk the incredibly remote chance that Covid would somehow be passed along via these? They are more likely to have people dropping from heat stroke. Where is the common sense?
