Wet but good

Overnight rain made for soggy play. Course didn’t drain that well but otherwise conditions were good. Afternoon sun made seeing ball on some holes difficult, especially the 17th. I like the layout. Starter friendly, others kind of indifferent.

What's not to like

Call me crazy but I thoroughly had a good time.Tees, ,fairway,s aprons and greens were in good shape. I especially like the layout and not having to crush your shot over some hazard. Yea, some of the holes in the back were a tad soggy but not so much as to ruin the experience. Upon reading the reviews I was expecting the worst but I honestly can't complain about the conditions nor the nice people who are employed there. I'll be back soon.

Princeton CC

The course was a fair course and reasonably flat. Most hole were clearly presented with just a few where tee shot position was critical.

Course dominated by mature oak trees if your shots wander.

I enjoyed my visit and the Oak trees also

Decent for the Golfnow deal

The course needs a little love, specifically on the fairways. The greens were in pretty good shape. A fair course for sure.

Pathetic condition - DO NOT PLAY

Front 9 was maybe ok. Greens are not - big divots are caused with any great shot. The back 9 is in awful shape. Last time for me. I’m going to ask for a refund from my CC - services not rendered!! :)

This is a Country Club?

First time playing here - the course is an embarrassment and should change its name to exclude the words Country Club. The course has no irrigation system and all the fairways are a baked mess, hardly any grass to hit off of...a real shame.

Front 9 fairways were fair, back was poor..... and it’s a shame.... the course design is decent and the greens were good.... not great, but a solid good.....I’m not an arborist or a tree hugger but I like trees.... seems that some of the huge old oaks need to be trimmed back and or removed to nice some breathing room and sunlight to the fairways.... you need to look for grass on many fairways on the back 9.... I understand there is a drainage issue there and it’s clearly evident.... too bad because I liked the layout...... hire some nice people with a personality....though the starter was great.

Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately the back 4 holes are built on a “flood plain”. We have added drainage over the last 4-6 years and it has worked out very well. We know it will flood, but when it does, the water drains off the property very quickly and is usually playable 1-2 days later as compared to 1-2 weeks later. The amount of rain we have gotten the last two years has been very tough for the back 9 here. We try our best to get it playable and cut as soon as the firmness allows.

Pathectic stay away

The ciurse is a joke, so poorly maintained, all the fairways are grass less, the greens are bad and on top of that the staff is unfriendly. Over crowded. Should change the name from princeton country club to pathetic crap club never again, infact i am thinking of disputing my charges as the service for money was substandard.

Course was a mess

Played this course for the first time today and I won’t be back. The front nine conditions were fair however the back nine was horrendous. The fairways were muddy and it smelled like a swamp. The starter wouldn’t allow us out early even though there was no one teeing off before us.

In regards to your tee time, if it was booked through GolfNow, we do try our best to keep the tee-off time close to the time booked whenever possible.

We appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll return under drier conditions in the future.
