A solid, underrated course

Despite a recent week of 90+ degrees, high humidity and little rain, this course was in very good condition. The fairways were well trimmed and the greens were still lush. Other than the high rough, there is little that will get you into trouble and it makes for a pleasant round of golf.

Good course

Not worth $55 during the day, but for $35 after 4, it’s worth it

Has potential but will never be good

I play here because it is close to my house. It is run by the city of East Orange and has been poorly managed for years. There is rarely a starter and when there is he does not regulate the groups going out. Fire instance, when I played foursome went out followed by a twosome, than another twosome went out followed by a foursome and then a single. At the second hole there were three groups backed up. The starter should have had groups merge together and play. If it rains just a bit they will tell you walking only so they don’t have to get the carts for you. When it rains it get flooded , but yet they will still cut the grass it the flooded area and destroy the fairway with tire tracks. It seems that these are all city jobs being given to people who do not know golf or golf course management

I like this course

It's a short course with just a few hazards. But you still have to worry about losing your ball in the woods. If you miss the fairway you may be in tall grass. Tee boxes could use some work. Fairways and greens are excellent. Flat course so it's easy to walk. Short walks from greens to the next tee box. . No homes on the course to spoil the view..

Bring your own snack and a drink!

I love playing this course because:

-It is not overly difficult, yet has its challenges

-The golf staff are friendly

- Can usually get a tee time on relatively short notice

-The price is reasonable.

- The clubhouse bar/restaurant is great for a 19th hole. drink and meal.

The only negative:

The guy who runs the snack shack at the turn is a rude, curmudgeonly, man. He is the antithesis of any other people I have ever met in that role. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS.

Safe to come back

I had stayed away due to some previous bad management and iffy course conditions. Both are no longer issues as far as I can tell. I hope it stays that way. The course seems well run now and the conditions were fine. For $55 to walk, a good deal.

Nice night

Nice night to play golf.

The 18 holes took about 4 hrs and 20 mins, some say that might be slow play but "what's the rush". I loved playing here.

Nice golf course at a reasonable price.

East Orange Golf Course is good for golfers of all levels. It has some pretty straight holes, as well as some challenging doglegs and a couple of long par 3 holes. It definitely is a decent golf course for the price.

East orange

Short course but good value for money. Not the most challenging course, but fine for practice or playing with average golfers.

Many greens starting to show large amounts of sand already. Overall conditions ok.
