Mr Bru Bru

Great friendly Staff. Very accommodating. Layout is VG. Fairways in great shape. Greens very consistent.

Tee boxes a bit chewed. My only complaint is Lazy Inconsiderate golfers that DO NOT repair ball mars on greens or replace divots in the fairway. Especially with the course being wet. I fixed a new personal record of ballmarks on the greens yesterday.

It’s just being considerate of the people behind you and keeping the course in good shape for Everyone.

Good pace and nice course

Course was a little challenging but fun to play. Pace was good. Only suggestion would be for Rutgers to put water jugs out on the course. It was extremely hot and could’ve used a refill on the front and back nine. Perhaps a water station at 5 and 14 would work nicely.

Great Condition

I’ve been playing a lot this summer, and most of the public courses have taken a beating due to the heat, but this course is in great shape considering everything else.

Course is in very good condition. Especially with the heat we’ve had. Greens in Excellent condition and consistent. Fairways cut perfect. My only issue is the lazy people that don’t fix divots and ballmarks.
