Rutgers University Golf Course

Course was very green, dry on the front, wet on the back 9 in spots, while I enjoyed the round, drainage still seems to be a problem.

The course is in excellent shape.
All good,
Except — a 4 some , all walkers , were painfully slow . Beginning on the 4th hole we were constantly waiting .
A ranger told us the group ahead would “skip” a hole - there was no one ahead of them
They skipped 11. We played 3 holes and were waiting on 14.
We should have played through ,

Huge bang for your buck if that’s a factor. Excellent condition particularly the greens. Beautiful roll, true breaks, no gimmicks. You hit a good put on your line your gonna like it.

On a perfect bright sunny day it was difficult. To locate the ball even when in the fairway,
Leaves glistening so everything looked like a ball.
Off the fairway the rough was a little much.. how about a first cut before the high rough. Just a suggestion.
But everything else was top notch.
Rutgers never disappoints

Did my graduate work at Rutgers in the 80s and played here a lot. Had a day off so I decided to play the old course. Much the way I remember it except my approach shots are starting 25+ yards further back. The course is short by modern standards but you need to play strategically and not just bomb it. There is a lot more movement to the greens than I remember. 3-putts are a real possibility if your ball ends up on the wrong side of the hole. Conditions were better than most with the bunkers being in stand-out condition.

I did my undergrad and graduate studies at Rutgers and played it a lot as a student. I couldn't remember the last time I teed it up here so I booked a tee-time through GolfNow. I'm glad I did. Its been 40 years since my school days but Rutgers GC has withstood the test of time. I may not be able to drive the 1st green anymore but there is still plenty of challenge to go around, especially if you spray it here. Most holes are pretty gettable even with a fairway metal off the tee. That hardly diminished the fun or enjoyment of playing here again. The greens were running fast and true. I was reminded about some of the server slopes on the greens by being on the wrong side of the hole. Still having to go to school here but lots of fun! I will have to make it a point to play here more often.

Conditions at Rutgers are always good.
Bunkers can use a little work. Packed down hard sand in many.
Pace of play was not great. Our 4 some behind 4 walkers.. 4.30 to play 18
