Home course

Just wish I was able to get a tee time more often on this course. Being a 7 day card holder I’m never able to get tee times. That’s my only complaint. Otherwise it’s a great course

Electric cart associate a "Real Jerk"

The course is great along with associates with the exception of Gerald at the bag drop!!!
I approached to hear him arguing with a guy and his young son? The man was asking why he was cursing at him in front of his son? When I asked which cart I should take he also gave me an attitude!? He then said "take one, do I have to pick it out for you?" In a very sarcastic manner?
I would recommend they get rid of him and let him wipe down seats in a less reputable place.

Among the best

The pace of play, excellent on the front, slowed some on the back. 4.20 for the 18 for our 4 some.
The course is at the top when it comes to public courses in NJ.

Excellent conditions, the course has a lot of character.
Try to play it at least a couple of times every year and it never disappoints.

GPS on the carts… excellent practice area.
Got a good rate with a golf now hot deal and a promotion.

Well kept

Great course if you like hilly holes. Short par 4 I believe 17th hole green needs to be fixed. It was super fast at the top.

Many hills

Many shots are uphill if you don't mind that. Poor drainage after rain so back 9 was closed. Do not go if it rained the day before. Greens played pretty well but need a bit of work.

Great layout & conditions except ...

Beautiful layout & well maintained except for holes 12 & 18 which are located in a swamp. The 12th tee is a platform with fake grass that is difficult to get a tee into that is placed in the middle of the swampy area. The 18th hole has similar issues except that the tee is placed in front of the swampy area so it does not affect your shot. Too bad they are not able to do anything with these 2 holes as the other 16 are an interesting mix & very well maintained.
