The course is DEAD!

This is the worst course condition I have ever played! I can't believe that the course is open. From tee to green...it's either weeds, dirt, mushrooms and/or sand. I guess no one cares? The pictures are the greens for Hole 1 & 2....it did not get any better the rest of the way.

Do not play - Course is in terribly bad shape!

I will pop into this course on a whim as it is seven minutes from my house but I will not be going back anytime soon.

While I understand that it has been hot and dry out, I would expect the greens would be kept up somewhat and that they would not focus on fairway upkeep as much. Instead, it seem like they have given up maintaining the course at all. The greens are mostly sand and covered in sprouts of weeds. They are actually in worse shape than the fairways.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Their greens are more than 75% sand, no grass whatsoever. Unacceptable to not let people know until after they've paid for their round. Go play somewhere else.

Greens had no grass

This place is a joke. No signs or notices that none of the greens are actual greens. Has 0 grass. Just sand. They burnt the grass. It was awful. No notification nothing. $65 round should’ve been $5

Sand and weeds

Every green was completely covered in sand and the tee boxes were uneven and weedy. Should not be charging full price to play here.

Terrible greens

We have had nice rounds at East Orange previously but the greens were awful today. Have played on aerated greens before but this was terrible. They were covered with sand. Not sure if it will recover.

I would not recommend until greens recover.

Horrible

This was probably the worst course I’ve ever played. There’s wasn’t a stitch of grass in the greens in the front 9, all sand! Plus they charge premium course prices. The driving range was also horrendous as all of the mats were extremely wore out. I WILL NEVER play here again!!!!!!!
