Horrible staff

Staff are unprofessional. Lack common sense. Want you to play speed golf. Make you skip holes and rush you off the course so they can go home. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. Do anything but spend your time and money here.

I am BIG on pace of play, playing at a fast pace myself and emphasizing the importance of it to new players - but even I agree that this place was too forceful about it.

Mean Green

Not sure how they keep the pace moving but every other muni should study Rutgers GC. A packed Sunday and still just 4 hours. Amazing what a difference a good pace of play makes to the enjoyment of a round.

And these greens. Even with a big rain overnight, they’re gnarly and mean. Pins tough too. but always fair and true, and a great challenge to any level.

Unrealistic Pace of play

Tee boxes could use attention. Fairways were in good shape and so were the greens. Greens would be better if players had the etiquette to repair their ball marks. Biggest complaint is with the ranger, who ruined the round. Constantly pushing us to pick up the pace despite having no where to go. Two worst times, was on the 12th tee box when group in front of us was only 200 yards away in the fairway. Then, as we were putting, literally while putting, he yelled to us to pick it up as it was "backing up behind us." I looked back and the foursome behind us was just getting to the tee box (par 4) and the group in front of us was still teeing off on the par 3 17th in front of us.

Just need some water.

This course is perfect bang for your buck. Never a bad round at Rutgers. During these hot summer days maybe a few jugs of water on the course would go a long way.

Favorite go to course

The course has been updated since I last played prior to Covid. The greens are nicely rolled and fairways in great shape. Will need to go back a few more time to learn the greens and the breaks. Very forgiven course. I played from the Scarlet tee and finished the round under four hours.
