Great course at great price

I have played many courses in NJ but I always like Gamblers because the course layouts are easy to my eyes and the course condition is always good.

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

Group of 3

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.
