East Orange Golf Course

Greens were like rocks. Could not hold a green with irons. Course in pretty good shape otherwise

The pace of play is very slow as there are many beginners who don’t know the etiquette about pace of play. As a result I skipped a hole at #6. When we got to the 10th tee, there were two sets of foursomes waiting at the 10th hole in front of us. That is not acceptable. I think people are taking their time there unnecessarily and may be allowing others to go through. They may be waiting for food or drink. But there needs to be a Ranger on the course especially at the 10th hole to avoid this from happening. I did see a cart with Ranger indicated on it, when I began the round and after I left the ninth hole, but this cart was at the clubhouse/restaurant area. The Ranger should be stationed at the 10th hole at almost all times to make sure the flow it’s going through. It does not make sense to have two foursomes waiting at the 10th hole. This is happened on several occasions for me. Waited a half an hour between finishing the ninth and 10th off at the tenth.

First time playing here, overall happy. Biggest issue was pace of play. The 3:50 group in front of us tee’d off at 4:03, and we spent the entire day on carts waiting for the group in front of us, a foursome of novices that were walking. No rangers to speed things up. Course played well, although a million white feathers were everywhere on the course, making it difficult to find your ball.

Note for later rounds: staff get quite annoyed if you return a cart past 7:45, but with a pace of play reaching over four and a half hours, they should stop renting them out past 3.

The course is very walkable which I prefer. There are several holes that have some ground hives that need to be addressed. Greens are in good shape.

Fun little course, doesn't take itself too seriously. Nice, open fairways, average-sized greens.

Opens up with a short par 5, nice and open fairways to both sides to give you an easy warm-up.

2nd hole (par 4) goes back in the opposite direction, dog leg right with a medium-size green.

3rd hole is a very short par 3 (avoid the trap on the left)

4th is a lazy par 4, small green with a ditch and a bunker in the way of your green approach. Try to avoid it. I didn't..

5th hole is another par 3 - get after it.

6th is another dog leg right par 4. Hitting it straight down the middle about 200 yards leaves you about a 130 yd approach to the forward-sloped green. Slightly challenging putting, but again, all of these holes are wide open, so as long as you're reasonable with your slices/hooks, you should be good to go.

7th hole is another straightforward par 4, just avoid the bunker in front of the green. It's tall.

8th is a Par 3 with a large green, just avoid the bunker front left.

9th is the longest hole on the front 9 - 210+ from the whites to the first ditch, then about another 200 to the pin. Bunkers aren't nearly as bad as a few others.

Enjoy!

Would be great if the course was maintained better. The greens were full of sand and didn’t look watered. Course has potential

Can’t have two singles go off back to back in front of two Threesomes!!

Course was in very good condition. Tee boxes had good grass, fairways and roughs provided reward and difficulty respectively, greens were true.

Really need a ranger to keep it moving. Took almost three hours to play 9 and left before the back nine. Would wait almost 10 minutes in the tee box waiting for others to finish up. Course conditions were nice but had an awful time playing

Everyone was trying to beat a thunderstorm. Had lunch at the turn during lightning delay - food and bar area was great. Course played slow with everyone going back out at the same time. Nice layout, so-so greens. Would like to play again.

Tests my game. Some days I play well & other days the course beats me up. That’s golf!

I played during twilight @ 745 we were told on the 16th tee box this was our last hole…… 45 mins before the sun goes down I think is alittle ridiculous. We paid for golf let us finish what we paid for. The gentleman who worked there came to our tee box didn’t display any golf etiquette as we tee’d off. As far as everything else on the course I was extremely happy along with the 3 other golfers I played with.
