Nice well maintained course

Excellent conditions. You need a hard hat in some of the areas. A couple of steep hills. Worth playing

First Time Playing

A 75 degree November Day…

It all comes down to perspective. I won’t play this course again if I had a pick of courses. Holes are stacked on top of each other which contributes to slow pace of play. I grabbed a Saturday tee time on a Wednesday bc it was going to be 75 degrees in November and wanted to play 18. It was a beautiful day, had some fun but I would not willingly play this course again if I had my pick of morning tee times at other courses.

Play very slow on the front nine once you hit the 5th hole. On the back nine one group had fallen way behind and you’d have hoped a ranger would have gotten them moved along but there were no rangers out. In fact, I’ve never seen a ranger on the course. Otherwise course was in good shape and round was fine.

Tight Course

For the current drought conditions in NJ, the course was in pretty good shape. However, this course is incredibly tight. If you cannot hit straight off the tee, you will be hitting into another fairway. My playing partner almost was hit by a bad drive, and there were multiple times there were close calls. It is very common to hear someone yelling for every couple of minutes. Enjoyed my round, but not sure I would play again.
