Westwood Golf Club

I have passed over this place for few years now due to many negative reviews with some good ones mixed in. Decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised with the good conditions. Greens were fast and true, fairways decent, tee boxes okay. Got paired with 3 fun guys and the starter was very professional, friendly, helpful and informative. Mid-way through front nine the power-hungry ranger told us we were 10min behind and several groups AHEAD of us were also. After picking up the pace a bit he approached us again a few holes later saying the same, never mentioning groups behind us, as none were waiting on us. We again felt rushed and uncomfortable. Few holes later were approached a third time and told we would have to skip a hole if we don't pick up the pace. We were already picking up our ball after a bad shot or two on some holes just to rush off to the next hole. We pointed out the group BEHIND us was 1 1/2 holes BEHIND us and were so most of the round. He told us that did not matter to him but that we were being timed as 10min behind the 4hr pace. We played in 4hr10min, not so unreasonable, especially considering all 4 of us were 1st timers there and there is inadequate signage of where to proceed throughout. This pushy, unrealistic, unreasonable and rude fool ruined what should have been a wonderfully surprising enjoyable 1st experience there that I would gladly revisit, due to his power-hungry nature. He should take a lesson from the wonderful welcoming starter. Likely won't be back to waste $75 for such harassment when there are many other courses in the area with much better experiences and better rates. Sad really.

After passing on this course for a few years based many negative reviews with some positive ones mixed in, decided to try. Pleasantly surprised by better conditions and more interesting course than what I’ve read. Place was packed but moving along just fine. Our group was approached 3x by the power hungry ranger when ours and e few groups ahead were supposedly 10min behind yet had an open hole BEHIND us. We picked up the pace just to have the 3rd time being approached border on harassment and disrespect, even beiing threatened that we might have to skip a hole if approached again. We pointed out the group behind us was 1 1/2 holes behind, but was told that didn’t matter as we were still timed as 10min behind the 4hr pace. We had been picking up our ball on some holes after a bad shot or two, just to rush off to the next. This power hungry Ranger ruined what was an otherwise enjoyable first experience at a place where everyone else was so great. He should take an etiquette lesson from the starter who was very nice, helpful and informative. Likely won’t be back to waste $75 just to play rushed uncomfortably all round. Shame really.

The positives: this course was in overall excellent condition given the dry season. The layout was interesting and very enjoyable.

The negative: unfortunately we had a vey frustrating experience with the starter. It was a Friday morning tee time and he was on us multiple times throughout the round about being a bit behind. (Maybe don't space tee times out by 9 minutes at a public course where people routinely are 20+ handicaps??). The worst was middle of the back 9 when he came up to us for the 3rd time and said we were 2 entire holes behind and he'd make us skip a hole if needed. We looked behind us and there was not a single group within a hole. We said this and his response was very snarky and rude. This ruined the rest of the round as we felt rushed in our play despite feeling no pressure from a group behind us. It is a shame, really, because the course itself is very nice but I can't see myself going back to a place that pressures their customers this much.

Fun course. Risk reward course. Greens and entire course in good shape

Horse was in very good condition for this time of year with the hot weather that we’ve been having and lack of rain greens were fast and true good value for the money.

Fairways in so,so shape. Rough is thick,you will lose a ball or 2. No place to grab a snack.

It’s just an average course and not worth the money

Love playing this course as the greens are some of the toughest in south Jersey. Unfortunately, the tee boxes, fairways and the roughs were not in good condition. Lots of crab grass in the fairways and tee boxes and the roughs weren’t cut down. Maybe because of the rains the past week. The staff there are great people.

The course was in good condition and was not overly crowded so the pace of play was very good better than some previous times I have played there
