Hidden Gem
Found this course through Golf Pass. I’m a Bergen County resident and had no idea Preakness existed. Great place and value for the money. Only hiccup was an angry starter who snapped a bit cause I went to the wrong course. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great track
Hadn’t played PV west in a while. Course was in great shape. Even after heavy rain the day before. Easy walk, should note cart path only for middle 6 holes but didn’t affect us. Great time and finished with lunch on the patio - very good as well

Great course, friendly staff. Can get crowded and play slow on weekends but that’s every course in north jersey. Course is always well maintained & the bar has great food.

Dreadful etiquette
This may have been the worst etiquette I’ve ever seen on a golf course.
People backing up every hole to flirt with the cart girl the cart girl takes 20 minutes to make one drink there’s music being played by people at the tee box and refuse to turn it down or off. No one is yelling fore for a bad shot I was hit once and my cart was hit once. This course is usually so much better but they’re letting drunk d bags play. I will never return to this crap hole
