First Time Playing

Course was nice. Staff was very pleasant. The pace was slow but it was a busy Sunday. The group behind us kept hitting up on us and we had nowhere to go because we had to wait for the group in front of us. Would definately play it again.

Mow the Tee Boxes!

I love playing at East Orange because:

- I can get a tee time fairly easily

- The course is close to home

- It's not too difficult, not too hard

Only issues:

- The tee boxes are never mowed properly. It's like teeing off from the rough.

- The snack shack at t he turn leaves much to be desired. Poor selection of beverages. The manager is gruff and inconsistent with his prices. The restaurant/bar is great. They should make that the place to go at the turn or start using cart girls/guys.

Hot Sunday Twilight Tee time

Very hot and humid, course was in good condition, play was a little slower than I like.

The starter, Fred does a great job of keeping things going smoothly.

To crowded too slow

The course is not in any kind of good shape. Not mowed in a long while. Greens slow as molasses what a waste of good money

Great rate of play

Great little course but a bit pricey

$60.00 is a little much considering the size and the shape of the carts

Pace of play

There is no control for pace of play. So ridiculous. Took us three hours to play the back nine. Totally unacceptable

Lack of outside staff hinders a better review

The title says it all . . . This course has plenty of promise but the overall lack of management could be an issue . . Iy is in descentshape for the shape it is in but could be better . . ..

Nice course

Enjoyed this course as the pace was good and the condition, despite all the rain, was in good shape. The course itself is not that challenging, but for an average golfer it was fine. Will play there again.

Plenty of water.

I was a cloudy day between rainy days. Not many people on the course but it was wet feet time. The geese loved it.
