Nice NJ County Course

First time playing as I was in the area for the day. 9:40 tee time, was supposed to be sunny but clouds stuck overheard for a little longer than expected. Course layout was fun. Played the East Course (west closed for winter?)

Conditions for winter were perfect for me. And even if it wasn’t winter I’d be satisfied. Pace wasn’t an issue as we were one of the earlier times. Seemed to be OK behind us as well

Nice practice putting green with many holes cut (just missing flags in them)

Great Course(s)

For a public county-run course you wouldn’t expect such a great pair of courses. The conditions are great and has easy info on each day of golf for course conditions on the website instead of calling a number each time for updates. Personally I prefer the West course over the East, but both are fun plays with some difficult holes and some at times easy holes. Love them both a lot though, definitely one of the best North Jersey public courses out there!
