Easy front - brutal back
Get warmed up before teeing off. Focus on the front 9. The back nine is tight with painful hazards.
Solid
All good at Rutgers . Playing the course for the first time this year. Bunkers at most area courses have been in rough shape thus season. The bunkers here were fine.
Pace of play was ok, could have been better because our 4 some caught the 4 some ahead of us and had to wait quite a few times. The group teed odd more than ten minutes ahead of us, but ..,,,,
One negative was the driving range was closed.
Hope to be back
Rutgers Golf Course Used to be a Gem!!
The greens fee through GolfNow was $50.00 on a Sunday. If you want a motorized cart they charge $18.00 at the Course. $68.00 total for a round at this Course is borderline criminal. The Fairways are a mess, there is ground under repair everywhere, some tee boxes are also a mess and there are ball marks and spike marks all over the Greens. Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic a lot of Courses in NJ are way too overpriced for the conditions of the Courses. There are other NJ Courses you can play that are in much better shape!!!
It’s pretty beat up right now
Generally, Rutgers very nice, but it’s badly beaten up right now. A lot of mud and dirt patches. The greens are still in good shape. Staff is a little obnoxious.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Great pace. Soaked fairways.
Fairways have been beat up by rain. Lots of mush spots due to rains. Greens tboxes are in great condition. Greens are FAST. Played in under 4?hrs. Hopefully course dries out more. Still a great round. Definitely be back.
Wet
Poured the first two holes and it was already super wet. Course is in fair shape for this time of year, but the rain turned some dirt spots into mud.
Nothing is open so there aren’t any amenities
Hi Jack,
So you played Rutgers Golf Course about 2 weeks ago maybe earlier, correct? You said that the Rain turned some dirt spots into mud. Are these wet/muddy areas in the middle of the fairway, all over the fairway and in the rough? I’ve heard the Greens and Tee Boxes are in great shape, is this correct? The areas of water/mud, in your opinion does it make the Course unplayable? OR just lift, clean and place? If you can get back to me quickly that would be great I’ve got a tee time at 11:24am!!
Thanking you in advance for your help!! Please be well and stay Safe during this relentless Coronavirus Pandemic!!
Thank you,
Bryan R.

Great course and easy to walk
This is not the longest course but it’s a pleasure to play. Staff was friendly and the locals I met were even friendlier. Recent storms did some damage to a few fairways but still very playable with tricky greens. I’d definitely go back and give it another go. Definitely a hidden gem and reasonably priced.
Great place to play
Course was in great shape despite being hit hard ny Tropical Storm Isasis last week. Greens were in very good shape and relatively fast. Fairways are wide which allows for a slice or hook to stay in play. Good mix of short 3 stroke pars along with a nice blend of par 4’s and 5’s.
Good course
Played it on a rainy day, but the course was in good shape. Tom the ranger was terrific and helped me when I lost my phone. Good collegiate course, and looking forward to playing it again. Driving range was closed, but overall good experience.
Rutgers 7/31/2020
I love this course. I always forget to play there but every time I snag a time on GN I’m happy I do. Great layout and some of the best greens I’ve seen this year. It’s always nice & quiet out there too
RU Golf
Nice layout, great for walking. Fairly short, no amenities due to virus.
Indifferent customer service
Was looking forward to playing Rutgers golf course went to school here and played a lot of golf here. Was told that I couldn't use a cart. I'm a senior with some ailments and shouldn't be walking a golf course in 90+ degree weather with some humidity. The turf conditions were fine save for a couple of areas on the back nine. I hadn't walked a course for over a decade because of my medical issues. The staff could care less at 2:48 in the afternoon where else am I going? Played and gutted out the last 4 holes. The wet areas could have easily been roped off and accommodation made to seniors. The greens were pretty beat up and bare patches in the fairways. Would have given another star if they had any customer service.

Well kept
Course was great, even in the rain it was a good day for golf. Staff was very helpful
First timer
I looked it up online and on paper it’s a very easy course totally different story when you get there very well laid out manicured greens are very tough
