Old Orchard Country Club

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.

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

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.

I'm not one to write a scathing review, but this has to be one of the worst courses I've ever played. The Greens were battered, the fairways were literally non existent and the tee boxes on some holes were on a slope. it's almost as if this course hasn't been maintenanced in almost 10 years. This course should pay you the $60 greens fee just to play here. I WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE! It's a shame, there is so much potential for this place to be a top 25 public course in New Jersey based on the location being 10 minutes away from the Jersey Shore. ALL GOLFERS AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!

The course has some good holes but the condition of the course is not good but one reason why so inexpensive. The greens are the slowest I have ever played. Great course for the price and for the average hack. Great hot dogs and drinks though at between 5 and 14 hole

We play this course every summer for last 30 years. It has fallen in serious disrepair over last nunber of years. While is not back to where it was, it was a pleasant surprise this year! Greens, while a bit slow were tru and actually looked great- only a few bad spots. Not as many weeds on the fairway and fairways and rough could be (somewhat) distinguished-- this may not seem like alot but a huge improvement from years past. One of the best layouts PERIOD you will find anywhere. Thankful it is starting to come back and I hope they continue

In its day this Golf Course was probably top notch .
My son and I played this morning.
It was by far one of the worst golf courses I’ve ever played.
Greens were chopped up.
Tee boxes are horrible
It’s a shame that they don’t maintain the course.

Don’t waste your money or time .

Two thumbs down 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Had an 8:12 Tee time. Course was already out of Pull Carts. We asked to upgrade to riding carts, they said you booked walking. THEY cancelled my tee time and then refused to give a discount.

GOLF NOW will NOT help.

Fairway is somewhat ok, still may have to move the ball to find a grassy spot occasionally. Samr for some of the greens, you will have to move to a decent spot. When you putt, the ball should not be bouncing.

I have played this course many times over the past 25 years. And i used to love it. They stopped caring for the course and it is a shame that is in such horrible playing condition. Very sad!

You should only play here if you can’t break 110. Anyone who’s decent at golf will understand that paying $70 for a place that has no fairways, rough ON greens, destroyed tee boxes and concrete bunkers is a ripoff. This place should be priced at $20 and can’t believe people come here. Hasn’t been maintained in 3 years it seems like. I would hit 100 yard shots 100 feet in the air and it would bounce 8ft after landing on the green. The layout makes it a very easy to score but you can’t make putts or get chips close when it’s rolling over rocks and rough. Starter was nice.

Not worth the money, poor course conditions, grounds crew routinely hangs out on holes, cuts infront if you in the middle of the round. Greens are trash, bunkers are now weed traps a

$45 dollar round with cart at best, don’t waste your money.

This course is a shell of its former self. The layout is great . It needs a ton of TLC .
I am grateful it is still here .
I pray that we can keep the Amazon gorillas at bay.
Who can I talk to about purchasing it so I can work on getting investors to transform it back to its former glory .
Good place to get your game back when you have not played much for a bit . Empty feeling .

Good value for whacking the ball around. Fairways offer fluffy lie. Greens are long and slow..Nice layout with generous landing areas. There are some damaged areas on greens. Don’t expect a “country club “ and you can have a fun time.

greens were in horrible condition, cart paths worn out in several areas. tee boxes were in terrible condition

Course conditions aren't AS abismal as everyone makes them sound. Fairway is definitely too long and greens are slow and with some brown spots but if this place was a little cheaper the layout is nice. My biggest gripe is we show up for our 8am tee time and get told that there's a tournament going off at 10 so we have to be off the course by then.. which makes absolutely no sense because everyone was teeing off the first for the tournament so there was no reason to even mention it, why would I have to be off the course if I'm on hole 12 by 10am and everyone is teeing off of 1? Anyway, if it was run a bit smoother and was the $28 walking/$40 with cart that this level of maintenance deserves to be at it would be a pretty good option

This course has had its fair share of bad reviews and rightly so. I usually don’t write reviews but I must say this year (so far) they seems to be trying. The course is in much better shape than it has been in years. You can actually see they have hired additional help and it shows. You can at least tell the difference between the fairway and 2nd cut. So I’m glad to see they are trying. Gotta get those greens and especially the bunkers in better shape that will make a lot of people happier. This course deserve some recognition. I will say it’s a good start. Hopefully these better conditions leads to better player experiences which leads to better course conditions hopefully. Keep it up!!!
