Usually shy away from playing here because they pace of play can be very slow with the amount people out. We finished in 410. Would have been even quicker if two of our guys didn’t take 87 practice swings and read putts like they are on Tour just to shoot a 115. Really looking forward to all the work they are going to put into it this off-season.

Complete rip off!

First off I’ve been playing this course for a few years now. I paid for a round of golf and a cart. I was a single going out with a 3 others. Two of them were walking and one was riding. I asked if I could have my own cart, the gentleman told me to go ask inside. I went inside the gentleman told me I had to pay an additional $12 because I wanted my own cart. Hmm I already paid for a cart! Complete BS! Never had this issue. Complete rip off!

Hello, Bollotta12. Thank you for reviewing the course.

We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain. Our records indicate that your 8/24 round was booked with a walking rate which is why there was an additional charge for the cart. We apologize for any confusion.

Please feel free to reach out to our team at the pro shop with any questions.

Honest Opinion!

I have been a resident of WO since 1997. The course has come a very long way. I have to say that I am very impressed with the fairways, rough and greens in particular. It's truely a test from the blue tees! Great job to all of those in Essex Cty who have commited to making it a "top notch" municipal course!

Great pay to play course.

I have played many courses in central and southern NJ. This course was a welcome changed. Some nice hills and challenging holes. Really enjoyed it and will play again.
