Awful pace of play

Have played hundreds of rounds at different place. This was top 2 worst pace of plays of my life. We were waiting about 15 minutes on each shot. Paid for 18 holes and was only able to play 10 because the group in front of us took forever and didn't consider asking us if we wanted to play through and nobody was there to speed it up. Also I left a club there which I get is totally my fault so that's not the complaint. When I figured it out the next day I called and asked if they had it and was told that they do. I went to pick it up and it wasn't there. Other than the above, for a county course in late August, the course was in decent shape. This was exceptional especially because of how hot it's been and how dried out other courses are. It's also a decent track that isn't too challenging but also isn't easy at the same time.

Has potential

Pace of play is horrible. Sand in traps need a major upgrade.

Golfnow presented a fake green fees

When making a booking, green fees for 4 people was $160 ($40 per a player). However, the Soldiers hill golf course charged $60 per a player saying Golfnow misrepresented the green fees. My family and I relied on Golfnow guarantee but it fails us. Regrouping on 4th of July was not going well due to this unpleasant experience.

Forced march

Overall Bergen County has robotic staffs. Prepayment on Golf Now forced us to play in “cart path only” designation. No accommodations are available for handicapped players! All holes were cart path only - which was not necessary. I will never prepay again.

Not great

Golf course is very average, boring flat land surrounded by boring trees and hazards in terrible condition.

Worse was the pace of play, where the golfers were terrible and all decided to walk, leading to 4 groups on one hole at one point.

Worst was the staff, who did not even think to have a ranger out there to speed along this pace of play. But yet, at 7:45 PM, the rangers magically showed up and were very much around to let us know that all carts must be returned before 8 so they could go home. This after insisting that we don't tee off due to the chance of rain (which never came) so that they could close up shop early. They were not thrilled when we decided to play anyway.
