Good but needs better care

I’ve always loved the layout here. And hadn’t played it in a couple of years. It’s pretty for sure, and there have been some improvements regarding eye appeal. But the greens are notoriously slow. And a couple of them are in tough shape. T boxes need help too. They should be dead flat and with good grass cut close. The fairways are OK but the grass is so so mix of stuff and should be better for a Fairway. The cart paths are in rough shape and one is washed out in part—dangerous. It’s a par three that overlooks a pond. That said, you can still enjoy the course because you get to use a lot of different clubs. And the price is right.

Very nice golf course

For the lack of rain the course was in great shape. Tiffany keeps the course in good condition despite the time of year and weather. The bartender, Ruth, was very friendly and went above and beyond. We will absolutely be returning.

Terrible

The course is is terrible shape. Dirt tee boxes, no grass. Greens are torn up. They charge you $64 for a sandlot. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Terrible condition

Played many courses in the surrounding area and this place is far and away the worst condition we've seen all summer. There's league play a couple times a week so I think they're making money. Just obvious that none is being put into maintaining the course. Fairways dried out and chopped up. Tee boxes nothing but dirt and sand. Bunkers unplayable. Greens slower than my back yard. Too bad because the layout is fun and interesting with 4 sets of tees.

Great public course!

Great layout by one of the OG American golf architects. A.W. Tillinghast also designed Bethpage, Baltusrol, Winged Foot, and many others.

Fun Course that’s getting better

This is a very fun course to play and is seemingly getting better with work to improve the course obviously being done. For example, some of the tee boxes are in great shape, some not, and some clearly under repair, which is encouraging that soon all will be in great condition. The greens are in decent condition, but quite slow my last visit. Pace was great…played 18 in 3:27. Staff was very friendly even when I asked for a repeat of the incredibly long beer list. I only give 3 stars because it just isn’t a 5 star course and, for that matter, hardly any courses are. It is a solid 3 with potential to be a 3.3-4 star course.
