DO NOT GOLF HERE

Hands down the worst golf course I’ve ever seen.

Only reason I came was because GN always has hot deals but I should have just saved my money! The greens were so under kept and filled with sand they might as well of been bunkers. Fairway… nonexistent on some holes, couldn’t even tell I was on the fairway. Don’t even get me started with the ungodly amount of geese s*** literally everywhere. Whole place smelled so bad I wanted to leave on the front 9.

If you want to go here, DON’T. Simple as that

Pace of play was unbearable

Greens were horrible. Almost like they just aeratored the greens.
The foursome in front of us would ultra slow and took multiple shots which infuriated me when waiting diligently for our turn. The front nine was so bad the two some I was paired with left after nine. Leaving myself behind a bunch of slow and not very aware golfers.
So I get a complaint that I cut the line from golfers behind from the golf attendant. I tell him my start time and that the two some dropped off because of pace of play. I ask him what is his job and before he answers I tell him how about instead of harassing me because of a couple dingbats thought I cut in front them, how about you do your job and tell the foursome in front of me to move it along and stop taking extra shots. The kid was dumbfounded. Don’t plan on playing anytime soon. Left after playing 13. Frustrating.

Course renovating- would not recommend

I saw bad reviews but couldn’t believe a course could be that bad, fairways on every hole was in shambles, marked for renovations but we did not know this before booking. The greens were actually immaculate for the most part, couple of dead spots but fairways were unplayable

Well that was disappointing

It didn’t take long for this course to go downhill. Played there about 3-4x since April and was impressed with the renovation. Nicely manicured tee boxes fairways and greens. Now, it looks like they’re neglecting them and focusing only on the renovation of the west course. Tons of dirt patches in all of the fairways. Unrepaired ball marks on all of the greens. They were even doing construction on 9 and 10 in the middle of the fairway, aerating fairways and laying down fertilizer. Seriously unacceptable. Should’ve shut the course down for the day with all of this going on. And to boot, no notice given upon booking, no notice from the pro shop and no notice from the starter. Such a fun little course quickly turned into a dump. Very very disappointing

Too much money for winter rate

$78 is ridiculous for winter golf in NJ. I get they just rebuilt the course and want to make their money back but it’s way too much money when it’s 40 degrees out and the tee boxes aren’t even open fully

Frost delay.

Showed up around 10:35am for my 11:20am tee time only to find out they had a 2 hour frost delay that morning. No email no nothing to let fellow golfers know that important information. Didn’t tee off until 1pm.

Played East course. Lots of bare spots in fairways, also greens in rough shape as was renovated
Would have been better to delay reopening and let grass grow back in some

Course conditions

Friendly staff very informative to players
Played East course.
Was just renovated and lot of areas are in subpar condition especially around many greens, as grass has not had time to grow back and created few bare spots
