Great track!
Great value for a municipal course. I’ve played many and as far as conditions, layout, maintenance it’s one of the best in NJ. Staff is very friendly and visible throughout the course.

60$ are u kidding me
3 of the holes under repair turned into par three’s w hole in the middle of the fairway. All of the greens were dandy and air rated. It’s a goat hill at best.

Slow play and Bumpy green
The play is slow and see no ranger. Starter informed every one "cart path" only. However, the group in front of us drove straight into fairway at first hole right in front of starter. There is no complains since starter is their friend.

$60 on GN
If it were $35 maybe no $60? Front nine had three par 5 turned into par 3’s. Too much construction going on. All greens air rated and slow and sandy.
