Fairways are tight and rough can be a challenge. Keep it straight

Grass to high

Grass just off the fairways were way to high for a public golf course! Spent some time looking for balls. Not friendly for those that can’t bang every shot on the fairway! Outside of that! Great layout! Long course! Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great condition!!

Love Hopewell Valley

I have played this course before and was very anxious to bring my friend to play it. He loved the course also. We only had one comment to make constructively: we spent at least thirty minutes of our round looking for golf balls in the VERY high rough. Twice, we never found the ball.
We think that the course would speed up play if they cut the rough down. If you can't see the ball unless you are standing right on top of it, the rough is too long.

Great Course

This course was in great condition. I found most of holes to be very interesting and the back 9 holes were long and challenging.

Call before you book

The layout of the course was nice.the staff was very friendly.
However when I booked my tea time it told me they were aerating that day or the day before. .However there was sand all over the greens. It was literally as if you were putting on the beach..by the time we hit the 15th or 16th hole, that's when there was less sand on the greens.
Otherwise for the first 14 holds it was literally impossible to putt.

Will be a good track

Course conditions when we played was just ok . However once the greens heal this will be a great course to play during the season! Sand in bunkers were awesome.

Good day.

Course was in good shape. Fairways were very nice, greens were in good condition, overall the course is excellent. Could use some water in the ball washers? Maybe widen the space between tee markers?. Evidence of improvement from when they first opened. Keep up the good work.

Very Good Golf Course

The layout is awesome, and a lot of the holes off of tee will make you think. They have a grass driving range so get there early for your tee time. Course was in very good shape even after a lot of rain.

This course back in the day was private and you can tell from the clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, etc.

Worth the trip from Bergen County.

Make sure you go to Conte’s after your round. Amazing pizza, and I ranked it a 9.1. Barstool Sports ranked it a 8.9. 10-15 drive from the course for your “19th hole.”

Surprised and Impressed

I’ve always been curious to play here. And with the County taking it over, I took the opportunity to catch a $25 dollar deal in the afternoon. Pace of play was slow from people a couple groups in front of us. After 9, they must’ve left and it went smooth the back 9. I was impressed with the course conditions. People were friendly. The layout is cool. And something to eat at the turn was appreciated. I’ll be golfing here again for sure!
