Great for beginner

Everything here is above average the only one thing I don’t satisfy as they didn’t offer a chocolate.

Solid

The West Course is the better layout.

East isn’t long, but it’s a good course to work on the mid irons.

Front nine on East isn’t that good. The back nine on East is much better.

Conditions-Very good.

East course not worth the $$$

Paid $80 to ride and to be honest even if it was free I wouldn't return. Grass was very high. Multiple balls lost. Pace of play was horrible and rangers did nothing. Cart girl had an attitude. Multiple tee boxes were in earshot of others. Lots of chatter. About 5 of the holes are tight so cross play going on. A lot of ducking from missed shots. I will never ever return.

One of my favorite public courses in Northern NJ

Very impressed by this course. The overall conditions and layout are outstanding. The greens were fast and impeccably maintained. Although the length is not as challenging as some, it does force thoughtful play to be able to score well.

The range, putting, and chipping areas are all fantastic. Definitely top-notch for public courses in the area. The bar restaurant and patio had a nice social touch. It feels closer to a country club in its presentation then a public course. Hard to find much fault. This is one I’ll be coming back to you over and over again..

Very Nice Public Course

East vs West Course .

East is much more compact and contains some odd dog leg tee-to-green holes but.

Like the more stretched-out interesting West …

Tee Boxes, fairways bunkers and greens are above average well kept.

Very Good first impression

I finally got around to golfing this course. It was better than I expected, with mostly level holes, greens that were manageable, and only a few narrow fairways. It has it's fair share of bunkers and a few water hazards but none overly difficult. I'm looking forward to playing it again and to also try it's sister course, valley east.
