Great course that is immaculately maintained. Slightly challenging with tight fairways and great greens. It's a little pricy but I played on a weekday and had the course to myself.

I thought I'd enjoy my day off at Emerson and I found a hot deal for what seemed like a good price. I have played her multiple times and hadn't been back this year so I thought I would give it a shot. I arrived one hour early. Which I know is really early but I was off and there was no traffic. As soon as I went to check in the manger grilled me about how much I paid for the hot deal and scoffed when he realized it was half of what he normally charges. He said I was too early to start so I went out to their putting green. After a half hour on the putting green and watching no one go out I ask the manager if I could start. His response was that my time was 2:57 and I would start at 2:57. So I sat patiently for the next thirty minutes waiting.
The front nine was great and the pace was great. The back nine not so much. What no one tells you is at 4 pm they have both league players and summer camp school aged children playing. I arrived on the tenth hole to find that ther was three foursomes of 8 year olds in front of me. I'm not sure why the manager chose to start them on the back nine but my group and the group behind me finished the round in just under five and a half hours. Their costumer care is nonexistent and their attitude is poor. There is also no grill or food open at the snack bar.

This course is an absolute gem. It is in the best condition of any course I have played in New Jersey. I played on a day that it was lightly raining and it was empty bit there were no draining issues or flooding. The tee boxes were perfect and the greens were immaculate. There are a lot of hills and a lot of challenging blind shots with toughly placed hazards. It makes for a great play on a great course.

Not much to write home about here. It's a pretty flat public course that wasn't anything exciting.
The day did start off on a sour note with the staff in the shop who were not the friendliest people you would ever meet. I arrived early and the course was empty so after putting on the practice green I ask if I could start early. Once the guy saw that I was an online reservation there was nothing open for the next hour. I then sat in my car for the next hour and watched no one pull into the parking lot or check in with the starter.
On the up side once my magic time arrived the starter and the Rangers were nothing but gentlemen.
The course is a public course and is pretty wide open and flat. It's in decent condition considering the weather and the greens were great. It was a fast round once I got started and I finished in about three and a half hours. All in all it was alright but not somewhere I'm running back too.

If you're there for food and drinks your in the wrong place. The staff was friendly and laid back. There is no grill and occasionally they did have a water cooler in the course. There was only one portapotty that I saw on the whole course and it was pretty gross. But the course is worth it. The fairways are right with som decent blind doglegs and hills. There wasn't much water and minimal bunkers and considering the long hot summer the greens were in great shape. I'd play there again.

I played on a 98° day and the place was empty. It was great there was no rush from pushy players behind me. There were no Rangers on the course but none were needed. The lack of water or restrooms was frustrating and the course is pretty flat and straight. The conditions were ok considering it's a heat wave and over all I had a great easy day.

This is a great course with nice facilities and the friendliest most accommodating staff. The pace was a little slow but it was a busy day and with three foursomes in front of us and two foursomes behind us that is to be expected. I was a little disappointed that the grill in the clubhouse was closed on such a busy day but they did have cold food and snacks. The course is challenging with water holes difficultly placed traps and some tough doglegs. It's nicely maintained especially for how highly trafficked it is. All in all I had a great time and will go back.
