Everything's nice except the grass
Starter and staff were extremely friendly, pace of play was great, the practice green had a full hiitting net (which more facilities should have IMO) - but the fairways and greens were in seriously rough shape.
Maintenance
I was hesitant to post any review because it seemed the course was taking enough heat.
But after reading that the greens weren’t mowed for the weekend we played because the greens keeper was “trying to not stress them out” is a joke. It’s April and from what I could tell the course was packed.
But it wasn’t just the greens. You couldn’t even tell the difference between fairways and rough, the grass was so high. Is there a maintenance budget at this course? Tell Middlesex County they have to actually spend money other than Tamarack…
Thank you for your feedback. I will share your thoughts with the grounds crew. Hope you give us another chance this summer.
Waste of money
This place is atrocious, I've played this course multiple times and the course is in the worst shape I have ever seen it. I don't think I even seen a greenskeeper or superintendent on the course this year. The guys used to be out and about working on all kinds of stuff and you could tell the course was on its way up, I'm not sure what happened but this course is not worth the money it cost to play here anymore. Save your money! I just kept hearing from people and the other reviews I have seen on here are the saving grace supposedly is they hired a new superintendent, and are going to be working on irrigation problems. I have talked to other players that play here on a regular basis about this and they said it's always been promised to the course and never happens. This must be a township thing like they said, it's a shame cause this place has a lot of potential and I've seen that with in the last two years but it's taken two steps forward and five steps back this year.
Sorry you did not have a good experience. We are almost through with our irrigation repairs and expect the course to be in much better shape in the coming months. Hope you will give us another try this summer.
Horrible Greens
Slowest greens I've played on in years. Bad experience.
Sorry you did not have a good experience. The greens are back to normal speed now. Hope you will give us another chance this summer.

I've played this course for years and this was the worst conditions I have ever seen at this course. Greens were not cut and most fairways were lacking grass.
Hello Kevin,
Thank you for the feedback. We are working through some irrigation repairs that are almost complete and expect much improved conditions in the coming months.
Forgot to Mow?
Greens were very slow and not smooth. Some of the slowest greens I have played in the area unfortunately. Greenskeeper definitely didn't cut.
Pace was annoying, group in front lost a ball on almost every hole. Ranger said it was normal for the weekend to be that slow. I think we finished just a little over 5 hours.
Desk staff was very friendly.
Thank you for the feedback. The greens were slow last weekend as we are trying to not stress them as we work through irrigation repairs that are almost complete. They will be back to normal speed this week.
definitely meadowy
I like the course layout. Conditions of the greens and front nine fairways was fair. The back nine was in better shape than the front. For the price its a good deal. Staff was friendly and the nineteenth hole was great.
Thank you for the positive review! Hope to see you again soon.

Course has what appears to be great “Bones”. It’s a nice challenging layout. Problem is the conditions are poor. Tees boxes and fairways are a mess. Need to find a tuft of grass on fairway to place ball. Lots of dirt and crabgrass. Greens were very nice and undulating. Problem was they are extremely slow. Had to smack ball to hard all day. Course needs some love and money. With attention to conditions this could be a nice track. Until then I won’t be going back
Thank you for the feedback. We have hired a new superintendent and made irrigation repairs that will bring the course back to its usual excellent condition. Hope you give us another try this summer!
Great bones with bad conditions
I think the design of this course is terrific—the Finger/Fazio design is apparent. However, the course conditions rival a dog track. I could not tell the difference between the rough and the fairway. We laughed when my ball was in the middle of the fairway on a hard pan. Greens were furry, but when cut may roll okay. Was told there is a new grounds superintendent and that they fixed the 200 or so sprinkler heads which were broken. I'd like to play again in 3+ months and see if there's a difference.
Probably won’t play again
- Slow play. Almost 5.5 hour round
- Nuisances on course. Geese on water holes. Kids on bikes on some other holes.
- Some holes close together. Music playing in golf carts was inappropriate.
- Bunkers in bad shape. Need sand.
No rangers anywhere to help. Won’t be back.
Sorry you did not have a good experience. We will increase ranger patrol.
Don’t do it
The courses condition is horrible. It’s been abandoned.
Thank you for the feedback. We have hired a new superintendent and made irrigation repairs to restore playing surfaces going forward.
Meadows
Not great in any sense. Tee boxes horrible, fairways even worse, and greens were somewhat decent. High school golf practice backed up the whole course. I’d go play somewhere else.
Thank you for the feedback. We are in the process of making irrigation repairs to improve conditions.
Good Hotdog
Hotdog was the best part of the round. 6 hours and not a ranger in sight.
Sorry you did not have a good experience. Pace of play is rarely an issue here. I will have our rangers increase patrol.
