Fun course, always in great shape.

I have been playing Rutgers University Golf Course on and off for the past forty plus years. For a course tucked onto a seemingly small piece of property, it is a great and somewhat interesting layout. The course is always in great shape with lush rough, well kept fairways, and firm fast greens. The management places a priority on pace of play therefore it is never an issue. Rutgers GC is mostly flat and very reasonable to walk. Always a fun round with enough challenges to make it interesting. Enjoy !

Rutgers u golf

It was a hot day no outside coolers allowed . Had two bottles of water in my bag after 4 holes they were consumed. No water on the course no cart to sell refreshments . That would be my only complaint.

By far best conditioned course I've played on during this time of transition from winter to spring. Greens are 80% recovered from aeration. Fairways n rough are already in great condition. Pace of play was 4:15 for a weekend round. Doesn't get any better than that.
