Great course

Course condition is excellent. Green is very fast.

Some of the pin position makes it very difficult to putt.

It's not a long course but not too easy to score.

Love RU course. Great track for value especially if you like to walk. Only downside to Sunday August 18th was grill room was closed no choice for food or Even drinks during the round. No water coolers on course so if your coming just bring some drinks to stay hydrated !

Great Golf Experience

I make it a priority to play this course a couple of times of year when visiting family. The course staff is always very nice and accommodating. The only recommendation is having walk over to clubhouse to purchase tokens for driving range. Having a token machine at the range would be ideal.

Bring water

Course is in great shape as usual. The starter/rangers need to take an edible or something prior to showing up for work. I get they want to keep pace of play to 4 hours flat. You can't deny players running in for a Gatorade at the turn however, when it's 95 degrees out, there's no water on the course, and no cart girls. We were 4 minutes behind pace at the turn and got blocked off from going in dor beverages. Not beer, not liquor, but Gatorade. Will obviously play again but they're a public course. Take it down a notch.

SHARING A CART ON A HOT DEAL STINKS!!!! 👎👎👎

Got a hot deal w a cart for $45 at Rutgers.

I was a Single and starter said on a hot deal single players must get paired up w someone else. THAT IS TOTAL BS AND HORRIBLE. NO WHERE ON GOLF NOW WHEN I BOOKED THIS TIME DID IT SAY THAT. There were at least 50 carts lined up. Not busy. You really have to jam me into a cart w some guy I don’t know. ????

What a joke. THIS POLICY STINKS AND NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!!! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
