Water Water Water

Always a favorite course of mine to play due to the pace of play and layout and it was cheap but last year they went up on fees ($50 to walk on weekends) which changes the value-add dynamic. Now I feel it is overpriced for what is being offered.

Also no water was on the course which may be due to the Pandemic but they didn’t provide any bottled water either or have any vending machines. It was so hot the day we played and it wasn’t a good experience.

Good day out

There are enough nuances that makes playing here interesting. Nice course in good condition. If you've never played here, it's worth giving it a try. It's open for the most part.

Good as usual

Course in very good condition for New Jersey in May. 12 minute starting time allowed for very good pace of play. Very little contact with anyone other than players in your group. Mindful of pandemic. Good job.

Back 9 closed

The back 9 is closed. You must play the front 9 twice. I wish I knew about the maintenance before I booked. Right now the price should be cut until the course is fully operating. After 9 holes you have to wait for a gap between groups starting their round. It’s tough because the course is an 18 hole course and without a starter to move you through coming off of #9, waiting at #1 delays your round. Not everyone has etiquette to allow golfers to continue when they have their own tee time. Wait until they fully open and warrant the full price and it will be enjoyable for you.

Nice outing

First time playing this course and was very impressed. Everything was in good/excellent shape - greens, fairway, tee boxes. Pace of play was good on the front nine but poor on the back - 4.5 hours overall. Easy course to walk. That being said I look forward to playing this course again.
