Windy weather
Used cart

Poor drainage causes ponding on fairways making several holes unplayable.

Perpetually Cart Path Only, I am crossing this course off my list until a drainage system solves the ponding everywhere problem or we get an extended dry period..

Conditions made it a long day

Course was in good condition, but weather compromised the round as we were cart path only due to the heavy rains the days before and the high winds. We were making good pace with the group ahead of us, until we made the turn when the groups in front of us switched making for a longer round. Didn't help matters when our cart got hit by a errant tee shot from them between 16 green and 17 tee. They claimed they yelled fore, but happed so fast not sure if we heard them. Other than that, it was a decent round of golf.

Do Better

Played this course plenty of times never any complaints! But this round was a lot different! The greens were air raided and they had fertilized it as well! Every green had holes fertilizer rocks!! If there’s a need for hat and obviously there was. The course should have been shut down for he day or at least price it accordingly! Very disappointed in Gambles! I hope this isn’t a start to a downhill decline!! I’ll give it a go again and I hope it’s different!! Do Better

Course was in decent shape except for the Tee boxes and the greens were covered with a small granular substance making putting impossible

Top 2 worst course in NJ and it isn’t 2

No starter, first cart I got in didn’t start, second one I had to step on the gas for 3 seconds before it started moving, 9/18 greens had two holes because they can’t fill an old hole, greens were basically conditioned as fairways and full of old divot holes, some tee boxes look like they haven’t been cut since last season. Spend the couple extra bucks on a nicer course.

Don’t waste your money

Horrible course, greens are in terrible condition along with the fairways if you even want to call them that. Only positive is the pace of play because no one plays here so you can play as fast or as slow as you want. That doesn’t matter though because this course is worth about $5 to play and the carts barely even start up. The best part is more than half the greens have a second hole that they just haven’t bothered to fill in.
