Golfer Reviews
Excellent course..bunkers need better sand
Everything about this course is pristine,
My only problem is the sand in the bunkers..great value for a public county course.
Local gem
An excellent course and a great value! Truly amazing condition the course is in and it’s hard to believe it’s a public course! We’re very satisfied and we’ll go back against.
Expensive for what it is
County course, and very expensive if you’re out of county. Would be OK if it were on par with a Morris course like Sunset Valley, but while well maintained the layout was very odd, especially on the front 9. A number of holes had trees overhanging the tee shot, and constant dog legs. No yardage markers to be found. Staff was friendly, and we had fun, but not in a rush to go back.
Great 1st outing on the East course
Had a great time with friends. For the most part play was consistently at a good pace; not much waiting around. Friendly staff and amazingly well-maintained course.
Benches would be good for the older golfers to have somewhere to sit when waiting to tee off, especially on hotter days.
PVGC EAST Course July 02
Had an 0850 Tee time, but the 0830 duo was late, so the starter moved us up to 0830. (YEA!!!!) It was overcast but warm . The course was in great shape. Heavy rains overnight caused them to make 6 thru 14 as Cart path only. (minor inconvenience) Pace of play was great. group ahead was rarely an issue and we were not pushed by the group behind. 10 minute start times were working fine.
I only recently returned to Preakness Valley, previous time there was when it was still Passaic County Golf. The improvements in the pace of play and the physical environment are dramatic. I rejoined about three weeks ago, and have already played the West course 2 times and the east 4.
Finished just before noon for a comfortable 3h30min round.
I have played all over NJ, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and this course is competitive with many much more expensive courses
3rd day of heat wave
Course is in the best shape I have ever seen it-3rd day of heat wave, was wide open at 8AM, took a buggy played 2 balls, start to finish 2:15 for 18....can not beat that!! Hope it stays hot!
Good Local Track, Slightly Overpriced
Two full courses here. East is slightly more challenging. Holes are pretty wide open without too many penalty areas. Moderate elevation. Some challenging doglegs on certain holes. Course conditions are usually very nice. Tee boxes are well kept, greens are healthy and not pockmarked. Fairways and rough are also healthy and repaired frequently it seems. Staff is friendly. $65 with cart is a little steep for the experience in my opinion, but it won't stop me from coming back. It's a fun leisurely round and local to many people in the area.
Very uncoordinated staff
Booked round on golfnow to play the east course, arrived 20 mins early checked in proshop no problem they send me over to the east course only to have the starter say there is an outing going on and theres no way we can play that course. If an outing was booked how are they still accepting teetimes online? When the outing wrapped up we got stuck behine a 5some that all hit 2 balls each off the tee box. What course allows 5somes? No rangers in sight to have them speed up eaither. Sorry wont be back again to play a 5+ hr round on a Monday afternoon
