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.

Not Worth It
This course is not worth the money at all, my lawn is maintained better than this course, I lost so many balls in the fairway because it is was as thick as the rough, and the greens were so thick the ball wpuld even stop short hitting down hill, terrible place to play

Worst course i’ve ever played

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and thanks for choosing Old Orchard Country Club.
I love the layout. Grass was cut early in the season . But now!! The tee box is the 1st cut leanght. They refuse to the the grass. I don’t understand why. And they want to charge premium prices. Crazy. Someone needs to buy and put 4 million into it. I play bc of hot deal and closeness. And the layout. It’s ashamed.

For $20 to Walk and Practice It’s OK
Played this course a decade ago and it was in decent to good shape. Ownership has clearly sold or is looking to sell the land because nothing is maintained.
Don’t come here with the mindset of playing a nice well-kept course. Come here with the mindset that for $20 to walk, you will be able to play casually and get some practice in on challenging conditions (not because the course layout is all that difficult but because even the fairway is the height of the rough).
I wouldn’t pay more than $20 to play here. The course is an easy walk even if carrying the bag, so skip the cart and cart fee.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We apologize for any disappointment you experienced due to the current state of maintenance. We appreciate your feedback and hope you were still able to enjoy playing on our course. Thanks for choosing Old Orchard Country Club.
The tee box and fairway were cut at the same length. The starter told us the owners sold the course to a developer and have not invested in the course all year.

Don’t Waste Your Time
This was the worst and most frustrating round of golf that I ever had. The condition of the course is terrible. The place has potential but it seems that no one cares enough to improve it.

First and last time playing this course.. There were no fairways and the greens were horrible. It's a shame because the layout of the course is really nice but for some reason , management doesn't take care of it...

Delusional Prices
Old Orchard is the golf course embodiment of laziness and shamelessness. The course condition is, simply put, something to point and laugh about. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, greens are all carelessly overgrown and neglected. With all this being said, the only reason why I’m writing this review is because they actually looked me in the eye and asked for $60 to play their course fully knowing it’s condition. You can play courses all over Monmouth county for cheaper, and they actually maintain them. These prices are DELUSIONAL, the owner should be horribly ashamed.
We apologize for any negative experience you had during your visit to Old Orchard golf course. We appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
Old Orchard is looking like an OLD Orchard.
This course is in the worse condition I be e ever seen it in. I don’t know why. I used to play here often. Now there are parts of the course that aren’t even playable. I’m sorry to post this. Sometimes the truth hurts.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the condition of our course. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Thanks for choosing Old Orchard Country Club.
Unbelievable this course still exists
I have no idea what kind of golf courses some of these reviews are playing that this is considered acceptable to them. I chose to give it a shot again because I was in the area and tee times were wide open; I am so blown away with the abismal conditions here that I couldn't even wait until I drove home to write this. This course doesn't have the basic fundamentals of any golf course, and by that I don't mean water or ball washers or anything like that. I mean tee boxes, fairways and greens. The tee boxes and rough length and dirt patches. The fairway is 2 inch long rough, and the greens are fairway length. It is physically impossible to make a putt. A 10 foot putt on any other real courses green goes maybe 3 feet here. It's unfathomable that after all these terrible reviews they have done nothing about it. How hard is it to cut your fairways and greens? AND to top it all off they have the nerve to charge over $50 to WALK. there's probably 20 other courses that cost that within a half hour that are leaps and bounds more put together than this place. The literal only good thing I can say about it is because most people to understand to never come here without being physically forced to, I played in 2.5 hours by myself and only saw 2 other groups anywhere on the course. Such a shame because it is a pretty cool layout but I unfortunately I. and hopefully anyone else after reading this, will never return.

Not what it can be
The fairways are indistinguishable from the rough. the greens are shaggy & slow. It is in the typical condition of a golf course waiting to have homes/condos built on it. that said, $45 including cart for 18 holes, tee open at 7 am & no one around made it a very enjoyable day. absolutely worth it if 10 minutes from home. 18 holes & at the beach by 11:30
Hello, Joe. We appreciate your feedback about the condition of our golf course. We apologize if you found the fairways and greens to be below expectations. Thank you for highlighting the affordability and convenience of our course, and we're glad to hear that you still had an enjoyable day. Thanks for choosing Old Orchard Country Club.
while the course has improved since i last played, many of the sand traps show signs of fresh fox burrows. in fact we did see foxes on the course in multiple locations. a little unsettling as they were not bothered by human contact.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the fox burrows on the course. We appreciate your understanding and will take measures to address this issue.
