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!!!!!!!

Worst course ever

The greens were actually yellow, they shut down back nine and didn’t tell anyone that booked that day. There was a youth clinic in the middle of the Day that nobody was informed about so it was a free for all after completing my first 9. No starter to direct us eithee

What The F Happened Here?

I like this course. Usually fair price and the layout is interesting. Played the course 3 weeks ago and it was in decent shape. But something changed. Booked a round yesterday not knowing that front 9 was closed and the round consisted of the back 9 twice. So the pace was slow but that, sad to say, was the good part. The greens and fairways are in terrible shape. Every green is partially or completely bare. Maybe it's due to lack of rain but they are unplayable. The fairways are overgrown and mushy. I really liked this course and hope that it makes a comeback. I know I, and the people in my foursome, won't be playing it again in 2022.

Disappointing

Have played here several times in the last few years and course was usually in nice shape but this time the tea boxes are overgrown and weeds everywhere and the greens were completely burnt out other then 18 with lots of thick grass and weeds growing in the greens. Sorry to see this knowing the money put into the course recently.
