East Orange Golf Course

Good value for the money. I've played a few times and will play here again.

This course has so much potential but the last three times I played here, the conditions of the greens and tee boxes have been awful. There were parts of some greens where I was like putting in a sand trap. I wish I took pictures to post here because I’m sure it sounds like I’m exaggerating.

The coarse was recently aerated but looked more like the greens just had sand poured on them weeds were growing everywhere. No ball cleaners anywhere on the course. Cart paths are made of stone makes for a harsh ride on the cart. All in all shows why it was so cheap on a Sunday most likely won’t be back.

This was the worst golf course I’ve played (and I’ve played plenty of public courses for a similar price) and also the worst golf experience I’ve ever had. The starter and ranger are none existent, I showed up payed for 9 holes and they said I can go out whenever. On the second tee some drunk idiots decided they would drop their balls in the middle of the fairway between myself and the guy playing in front of me who’s on the green. I start yelling at these guys, they hit and drive off. I saw them head over to the 10th tee, called the front desk to have the ranger come out. He came over to me I pointed them out then he went to talk to them. At the end of the round the ranger tells me they had a different story of the situation; nothing was done about their complete lack of golf etiquette. Aside from nobody respecting the game of golf here, every green is full of sand (and this isn’t because of hurricane Ida) I played here in June and July and the greens were the same, full of sand. This course is comparable to playing in someone’s backyard, save your money and DO NOT GO HERE. The pace of play was atrocious, holes 5-9 were so backed up, wait 15 minutes to tee off then the next group is right behind you literally waiting at the same tee box, so you’re waiting then you’re rushed when it’s finally the time to tee off, not exactly the relaxing 9 holes of golf I was expecting.

Also there’s literally a restaurant/club (that has nothing to do with golf), I played two weeks ago and there was a DJ on the restaurant patio that could be heard from any hole. Once again SAVE YOUR MONEY, do not play here.

The check-in is fast, the driving range is convenient and you can hit any club distance. Pace was 4.25hrs. It’s an enjoyable course, greens, rough and fairways in good shape. On the short side even from the tips. The bunkers were full of rocks and in need of sand and repairs (heavy rains in the weeks may be the culprit). The staff is friendly and there is a good bar. You can rent cars and push carts (decent quality push cart).

Good value for the price. There was very little damage from Ida. The greens were being aerated and there was an excessive amount of sand on a few of the greens. Good course for the novice golfer so it's easier to stay out of trouble spots.

You can expect no greens on greens but only sands. Pace was little but slow but green was bad from the hole 1 and it gets worse. Hope 15 is pretty much just sand. Fairways are terrible and tee box is also pretty bad

I was witness to the group of 6 college kids who were asked to leave on Labor Day. They had 2 sets of clubs for 6 players and the first 4 tees off with two sets of clubs leaving the two on the tee with none whatsoever. Good on the course for not allowing them to play! You would think that someone who was familiar with the course would also be familiar with the course policies. Pace of play is paramount, especially at a municipal course like this.. 2 sets of clubs for 6 players is outrageous! Good thing school is back in session!!!

The area and restaurant are amazing…staff and course condition not so much. Rangers non-existent, leading to log jams. 10th hole drink shack staff seemed upset to have customers. Conditions absolutely awful (Storm Ida did not cause all of this, as it was rough the first time I played as well). Fairways poor condition, greens might as well be a garden with how many weeds were growing. Disappointing because the location is amazing and would be a great course if they took care of the course. On site restaurant is great too.

Course was in terrible shape due to hurricane ida .

Wouldn’t recommend until everything is fixed

With better ground improvement this could be a great course. It has potential

Me and a few buddies from college that flew in from places like Colorado, Minnesota, etc wanted to golf on a weekend off from college lacrosse. I’m from this area, so I played there at the very least once every other week over the summer, so I was quite familiar with the course. We booked several tee times in effort to keep the pace of play normal and reasonable. A couple kids did not have clubs on them (they flew into jersey) so we borrowed clubs. Right when we get to the first tee, the ranger gives us grief. Keep in mind, we’re playing best ball. As we get to the ball we decide to play, he tells us the front desk said we are getting refunded and have to leave. When I get to the front desk to try to understand what just happened, he gives us a power trip, saying how it’s “standard golf rules” for every golfer to have a full set of clubs, even though we are college freshman and some just could not bring their clubs due to flying out. They don’t even have club rentals! Horrible. It’s gonna be very tough to go back there again after service like that.

Average layout and greens are firm with little grass on them. It's a nice course to practice your swing. Very informal. I think 12 handicaps will not like it

For $30 it is worth the price. For $30, they only need a ranger who goes around the course (most at the 10th hole) to keep people up with pace of play. The course is short and relatively flat and should not take more than 4 hours. Nor worh paying $60 t o play here, but it is for $30.

This course was great for what we wanted — an affordable course for beginners/a relaxed day of golf. The greens and course overall were dry, but that was fine for our purposes.

The course was very dry. i know we have had a long stretch of days where it has been over 90 degrees. But the course seemed like it was not being watered at all.

Played here for the first time in 10+ years. Impressed with their new facilities - clubhouse, range and restaurant all really nice. The golf course, not so much. Groups were already backed up on the first tee at 8 am, the starter sent us off the back to speed things up which was nice. 10th green has mounds of dirt made by "cicada killer" hornets, which forced me to move my ball since it was in my line. This was the case on a couple other greens also. Another green on the back 9 had an enormous bare spot - pics attached. Other than that the greens were in good shape, and most tee boxes were ok.. Some of the rough is just unmanaged, tangled crab grass, and the cart paths are loose gravel which makes using a hand cart difficult. Fairways were bare in some areas. , I did not expect much from this course - but it is better than it used to be. Staff were friendly except for one real nasty guy at the concession stand at the 10th hole. I don't know if he was trying to be funny or just plain foul mouthed and rude. I think the latter.
