Need rangers to keep up pace of play

The golf course is good for true beginners. Because of that, there needs to be a ranger to ensure these beginner golfers, don’t have the etiquette, follow the rules

9 holes should only take 1 hr and 45 mins or 2 hrs max especially on a Friday evening. However took closer to 2.5 hrs to complete

A little work goes a long way.

I have been playing East Orange for a couple of months now. The beginning of the season was great. We had plenty of water and the Greens and fairways were in great shape with some of

The tee boxes in bad shape. But I have to say this last trip out there was very rough. The tee boxes were either filled with weeds or no grass at all the green starting to get burned out, which usually happens at this time, but my main complaint is there is no drinking water on this course, the ball washes have water in there from last year and all this place needs is just a little TLC to make this course much better.

The lady on the reception should learn how to have a rapport to customer.

Horrible tee boxes

I had to search for grass on the tee boxes. Last 2 years they have raised prices. This money should go towards tge up keep.

Enjoyable course

This a nice short 18 hole course. Location is easy to get to. The fairways and greens were in very good condition considering its late July and temp's in low 90's. I will absolutely play here again as this was my first time here and now I know the layout.

Fun!

Had a good time as a first time player. Course was fun to play and player friendly with challenges. Cart paths were unkept and greens were very soft. (Very sandy beneath the green when I used repain tool.). Overall I’d play again. The snack shack at hole 10 was so clutch and the clubhouse bar was awesome for done after round drinks!
