Spring Meadow Golf Course

Recently aerated greens. Otherwise good day on the course.

The course itself was well maintained overall. The tee boxes were a little rough, but the fairways, rough and greens were in really good shape. Except for all the untended ball marks on the greens; many of which my group fixed while we were there.

Pace of play was atrocious, but it’s weekend public golf. Probably could have called the office to have someone speed up the group in front of us, but the group in front of them was equally as slow. We never saw the group in front of them. The group two in front of us teed off on a par five and even the green was empty. The group in front of us was somehow lagging behind them. I had multiple balls of mine just off my fairway picked up by other groups, who pretended to not hear me over the cart and their music blaring. I had to take drops in the vicinity of where my balls were taken.

The course layout was challenging and fun. There are some areas in need of maintenance. The netting and fencing at the driving range is in disrepair, the bathroom is pretty beat up, there are a few holes close together with netting which is all in disrepair. I would play again during the week with an earlier tee time or on the weekend, but only with a pre-8am tee time. This course in the morning before the crowd probably feels very different.

Early in season so course isnt great. Last year course condition Best in 20 years.
Bar restaurant is Closed ATT, hopefully state with select another vendor soon.

Minimum to zero maintenance performed on course. I don’t even think they have a maintenance crew. Way overpriced for the condition of course. Tee boxes are nonexistent greens are mediocre. Seems like they are just collecting income and not putting anything into course. No pride into course either. Early morning tee time and you can’t even fix the cart path ropes while passing by it??

Course played great cart path could use some maintenance.

We use to love this course as a quick go to. Although it’s early in the season, seems they really cut the budget on the grounds crew because there is little, if any maintenance and upkeep on the course. Won’t be going back for awhile

Very good golf course

The State owned course is never in good condition but still fun and challenging to play. Staff is super friendly. Price on Golf Now is reasonable if you get a Hot Deal. I'll play when a Tee Time is available but only a Hot Deal on Golf Now. Otherwise I'll stay home.

Spring Meadow has a number of interesting holes and some ordinary ones. This could be a really nice course if the state would put some money into maintaining it.

We played it since it was open while the Monmouth County courses were still closed after a recent snowstorm.

If it were better cared for, it would be worthy as a regular part of our rotation, but as it is, the county courses are a much better value.

Quirky layout, 8th hole needs serious redesign, but fun to play…and that’s what counts

Some very fun and challenging holes to play. Pretty nicely maintained.

Where do I begin? The bar has been closed since the new year. No half way. No food. No drinks. It’s sad cause the bar was popular with good food and drinks, friendly staff, fair pricing, live music. Gone. The staff is great. Maintenance is definitely working with what they have and it’s not much. No aeration in many seasons though greens are in great shape. Tee boxes are awful. Looks like zero maintenance in years. Seed and fertilizer go a long way. Trees hanging in front of tee boxes on several holes. Where is the funding to get this place a little TLC? Fairways were well, fair. It’s sad to know what this place was and what it could be and watch it start to fall apart. State owned and no money going into it…I’m sure it will be developed on soon. Picture says it all…RIP Spring Meadow.

I know it's the end of the season and we just experienced some epic rain and wind on a heavily played public course, so I'm not going to be too harsh. The course is in good overall shape. When I pay the full undiscounted rate next season I just hope the tee boxes are in better condition and I think it's the 15th tee, well, I hope it is finely open for play. As it has been closed for play my last few rounds. Some of the traps had water. Overall though - I enjoyed the round.

If no one is going to clear the greens of leaves leave a potable leaf blower by the greens i would use it
