Our Local Go-To Course

Being we live in North Haledon, NJ. The Preakness Course is close to home and in good condition. Just understand that this course ALWAYS plays slow. Just be prepared to have a long day. I suggest you go there with a laid back attitude. If this course is running slow, enjoy your day and mind your manners.

Winter Golf

Like you would expect from winter golf. Tough to get your tee into the ground. Conditions were ok considering it was December. Greens not bad, though a bit fuzzy. Could not beat the price. Layout was decent, felt similar to an above average county course. Staff decent. Overall pace was good. Got done in just under 4 hours.

Cold day for golf

The course was nice but the weather was damp and cold. there was a lot of sand laid out which was odd but I understand that is normal on the greens (not fairway so much).

Enjoyable golf course

I have to say, we really enjoyed the layout of the course and how much fun It was,. it is challenging yet it always gives you a chance to score well. We played 12/28/22, it was about 40 degrees out, still the fairways were good, the greens were kind of frozen and had a lot of sand on them but it is almost January, with that said it was still playable. I am hoping to play this course a lot more this coming year!

Ground was frozen

I know the weather played a big part in this review, the ground was frozen and inserting a tee in the ground was impossible. We did want to play even though it was cold so we understand.
