Old Orchard Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1929, Old Orchard Country Club has a classic design with challenges that stand up to modern golf courses. Throughout the course, you'll see traces of the site's former use as a farm. Ancient apple trees from the original orchard frame many of the holes. The diverse layout will test you with a variety of different shots but the gently rolling terrain makes for an easy walk. Skill and strategy will be generously rewarded but it's not an overly punishing layout for the high handicapper. Old Orchard's greens play true and fast and they are often flanked with strategically positioned bunkers. A stream wanders through the golf course, coming into play on several holes. Golfers will face a tricky island green on the par-5 seventh hole as well as an almost-island green on the par-4 13th.

Do not play here
Easily worst course I have ever played on. There are no fairways, just long grass everywhere or dirt or crabgrass and unmanaged greens. Bunkers are just dirt with crabgrass spots in them. There was a group of 8 playing together and then a random guy walking around cutting in front of people playing two balls. Normally could care less about that part but adding on the pace of play on top of everything was unbearable. They have a no refund/rain check policy for a reason. I paid $55 and left after 9 holes. Only go here if you are okay with playing a terrible course.

Shameful conditions
A beautiful piece of real estate with a fine layout. However sad to say all the 1 star reviews are an honest assessment of the condition of what could have been a great course . Nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said . Won’t be back
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any disappointment you may have experienced during your visit, and we appreciate your feedback.

Course has potential
Course definitely has potential to be one of the top spots in Monmouth County. Unfortunately last time I was there the landscaping was below par and could use some much needed TLC. Still a fun course to play and all staff is helpful.

Couldn’t tell the difference between the fairway and rough.
Greens were in terrible shape.
Probably one of the worst courses I’ve golfed.
We apologize for your experience at our golf course. We take your feedback seriously and will work to improve the conditions of our fairways and greens. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
The guy at the pro shop said I was too early for my golf now time and he should make me wait the 30 mins but let us go anyways. Literally no one there. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all beat up bad. Horrible bumpy cart path. Not a good value. Will not return.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced at our pro shop and for the condition of the course. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services.
What a waste
Staff is exceptional, price is affordable, fairways and greens are atrocious, raggedy, chopped up, unkempt. The course layout is amazing, gives you every different look, requires a multiplicity of strokes.
What a waste! Course needs TLC.

Great day of weather
Well that's all I can say as it was beautiful out. Greens, fringe around greens and tee boxes all unplayable. Greens were like Plinko. It was good to get out though and staff was friendly.

Has openings, moves quickly
If you get the boys together and it's noon and you randomly decide to golf and everything's booked, get a 30 and have some fun. Course is cool but beat up, is cheap though and better then doing chores.

Shortage of working motorized carts here
The sign in the pro shop encouraged walking this course. Here’s why. As my GolfNow tee time included a motorized cart, I took one for a late afternoon tee time. If I got 12 holes in before sunset I would call it a day. The cart ran out of juice on the 5th hole so I called the pro shop for a replacement. Ok great. Playing again with a new cart. It also runs out of juice after one hole. This has never happened to me in 30 years playing the links. Granted the course was busy on a two day break from the frigid weather, it seems they only have a handful of working motorized carts in circulation. I gave up after that and returned the cart and left. The course needs work and it’s actually a nice layout with some unique holes, I hope they fix the problems up because its one of the only courses in the area.

Rip off
Worst conditioned course in New Jersey. Tre boxes fairways and greens were horrible. Charged $40 and quit after 8 holes. Should be closed

Poor condition overall
Maybe it's because of the normal wear and tear but the fairways and greens are horrible. Worst course that I have played for awhile. Definitely need a complete overhaul. Staff members were great and very helpful.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
No one cares who works here
The pro shop kid couldn’t care less about checking me in and was rude, offered no cart (there also were none available), and the course is not kept up with at all. There were four groups on one hole because there’s no starter or employees keeping things running. Do not come here.
