Classic Gem in Passaic County

Preakness Valley proved to be a classic style, tree-lined course that impressed me with its early autumn conditions and the variety of its play. Ranging from dogleg to straight away, the holes presented fair challenges and well maintained greens.

Preakness valley

Pleasantly surprised. In years past course needed work, pace of play was awful. Today, course conditions were amazing, pace of play was great, and staff couldn’t have been nicer.

Hot deal price

I try to mention about hot deal on this course. Used to be$30 or $40. Then raised up to $80 . It doesn't make sense at all because club fee is much cheaper even Iam not a resident for that town. U should review this matter. Thanks

Hurricane Problems

I just played this golf course today 9/7/21. The course took a hit from Hurricane Ida, they had to close an entire hole and turn a different par 4 into a 80 temporary par 3. I am not blaming the course for having to do these things with their hurricane damage but I would have liked to know before I booked the tee time! Other than that everything was great as it usually is at Preakness.

Still waiting to turn

I have played here numerous times. This has been the worst experience so far. One hole was “not playable” yet was dry. And the first four holes took over an hour and a half due to two slow groups ahead. They had two holes open in front of them at one point. Saw one ranger the entire time. Spoke to him, he did nothing. Had to skip two holes to have a chance at getting the cart in on time. Started late because of the groups and the starter could have cared less. A nice course can be ruined by pace of play and lack of care from the staff
