Galloping Hill Golf Course

Fell in love with this course all over again. The work done since I played a few years ago was fantastic and created beautiful views. Reminded me of a links style course. Just wish it was easier for non county resident card holders to get tee times or I'd probably be there much more often.

Some tee boxes need work, but overall excellent...for a public golf course. I also happened to play with gentlemen...which is not a given!

Boy this course has changed a lot since I played it 20 years ago. Great layout! Some long holes and lots of shorter holes but you need good shot placement. Greens were in great shape! Highly recommended!

Great course to play! Every friends I brought them to play there and they love it! They enjoy it and said would definitely come back to play again plus great deal. Thanks !

Personally like the 9 hole course better. More fun and still challenging. Overall great course. Some fairways and paths need a little work. Greens kept in condition. Very tough on some holes. However course gets soaked easily has a tad bit of a marsh problem. In a great location. From time to time gets packed. Tee boxes need some work too.

Course was excellent employees excellent foursome walking in front of us slowed things down only had gold tees and blue/black tees too much of a difference besides that excellent experience

Galloping Hill was great.....best I’ve seen this course in some time.

Pro: Right off the Garden State

Cons: Right off the Garden State

It’s easy to get to and that’s the problem in the most congested area in the most congested state. Slow pace of play and fairly boring for $50. I would play it again if it was $30, but $50 was a special rate. They can charge a lot because of its location. Severe drainage problems. Pass on it.

Galloping Hill is an apt name. Tees and greens are mostly elevated over this rolling terrain. Seems like your always hitting uphill to these greens, requiring extra club

Played the course yesterday, and was impressed with the conditions. There was a frost delay, which shows that management truly cares for the courses conditions. The frost delay was handled well by the staff and we ended up only waiting a half hour or so longer than our original tee time.

The driving range looked nice, but wasn’t open until 11am on Tuesday so we weren’t able to warm up before the round.

My only gripe with this course is there isn’t anywhere near enough signage. We ended up at the wrong tee on several occasions. But the worst one by far is the 18th. When you’re on the tee, if you’ve never played the course before, and aren’t regularly checking the score card, you will 100% hit your tee shot down the 9th fairway. Unless you’re hitting from the whites or yellows, you can’t see the 18th fairway at all and there’s no indication of where you should be aiming. The only reason we realized where the correct fairway was, was because the group on the 9th fairway was noticeably not the group we played behind all round. It also looked farmiliar, remembering our tee shots and approaches on the 9th. There needs to be some sort of direction given from the 18th tee.

Other than that, a few blind shots resulting in well struck balls taking a while to locate.

Overall a very nice course, kind of challenging for the high-handicap golfer, and a great challenge for better golfers from the tips. I’ll play it again.

Fun routing that sits on rolling land with some pretty significant hills and valleys. Course was in good condition and presented some fun holes with good variety. It compares well with the lesser of the Bethpage courses and has a similar feel.

Pros:

Pretty nice course. It's a county course, so everything was a little beaten up, but was also restored as best they could. Sand bottles on carts helped with tee boxes damage and divots. Traps actually had sand in them, something pretty rare for county courses. Greens were kinda weird, as they were sandy, but they rolled pretty true and were quick. Layout were very nice, with every hole being different and challenging in its own way. Carts were nice and were electric. Practice facilities were good, nice big driving range and a bunch of chipping and putting greens. Value was very good, as $30 for as much as we could play was a very good rate.

Cons:

Pace was a little slow, which was expected, as it's a big county course. Like I said before, greens were a little weird. They were not aerated, but still were sandy. Even though they were good, they just seemed and felt a little weird because of the sand. While you are given the option to walk, I would not recommend walking because it is a hilly course, some holes are far apart from each other, and it slows pace down.

Overall, the course was pretty good for what it is. It's a county course, not Augusta, and for a county course, it was very nice. To top it off, $30 was a great rate, and I would definetly play again for that rate.
