Nice Course
Very Nice course for the money - very well maintained and senior friendly tees
I played on an East golf course but there were so many bugs that it became really distracting. They were flying around my face, and it made it hard to focus. The staffs are so kind and nice.
Best NJ Public Course
I’ve played all Bergen, Morris, Essex and Somerset courses over more than 45 years- I would stack both of the Preakness Valley courses up against all of them as the best in all respects and in fact, I enjoy playing these courses more than many of the privates for layout, challenge and beauty, both natural and created by the obviously talented grounds crew. Bravo- you guys do an amazing job!
Nice course
Nice course well maintained and good pace of play for a reasonable price.
Slow play
They need a ranger to go around to check the pace of play it’s brutal to play 6 hours round. This is not accetable
Aggressive Rangers will most definitely not be coming back
Played 9 here prior and had zero complaints and loved the East Course.
For the West Course however, had an awful experience… The starter yelled at me for being 1 minute late to my tee time… 1 minute!! Mind you i got there 20 minutes early to check in, only to be online behind 5 people who were checking in ahead of me, which took forever. Maybe they should come up with a better faster and more efficient check in system to expedite check ins! Then on the first hole after already being yelled at by the rude starter, he had the audacity to tell us to pick up the pace…:when we were halfway down the fairway….on our SECOND Stroke. Our experience from start to end was not pleasant and felt overly rushed. We got approached 4 more times throughout our play here telling us we need to play at “Rapid Pace” … yet we finished 18 in a little under 4 hours. Their pace of play seems to be highly unreasonable and unrealistic. Friendly staff in the golf house, but highly unreasonable rangers who aggressively made us feel uncomfortable and rushed. Lived around the corner my whole life yet this experience makes me reconsider ever giving this course a dime of my money again. It’s a shame because it’s a nice course.
Great Spot
This course is always an enjoyable round and usually in great shape. I always have fun whether I play East or West. West is a more challenging course especially on the greens and is a bit tighter. East is more open and slightly easier to score on. Their clubhouse has phenomenal food too, I recommend the hamburger sliders.
Great for the Value
Very well kept county course- by far in top 10% of conditions for NJ. Pace was good. Staff friendly and helpful. Layout isn't great as holes are short and very close to each other- but from what I heard, it's a very old course so makes sense. I'd play again for sure
Great spot
Course is very well maintained. Couple of odd layouts (hole 7 and 8) but overall a clean wide open course. Moves along well.
Thank You
First time playing a public course in New Jersey and had a fun time. Friendly staff and very polite Starter on the West Course. Used the driving range. Used the putting green which only downfall was the sand covered it.
Can’t wait to play again!!!
