Course has improved

Course conditions have improved since I last played the course . Specifically the back nine was in much better shape. All the greens were in great shape as well.

Meh

It was a hot deal so cant complain about price. But Tee boxes were as bad as my back yard. Some greens were covered in leaves and goose droppings. It was just ok

Don’t be fooled by the value

You get what you pay for, we were backed up all day even walking when the people in front of us were using carts. The back 9 was nearly flooded on every hole and the tee boxes were all beat up. There were also bugs everywhere and our whole group got bit up badly. Wouldn’t recommend

Well worth the money

Honestly can’t beat a late afternoon tee time for $22. The course was nice, especially for the price and the area it’s in. The staff was very friendly. The pace of play was a tad slow but I’ve played courses that were way worse with that. The only thing is (and it’s not specific to this course) no one fixes ball marks on the green. I’m not big on “proper etiquette” with how someone dresses, music, noise or anything like that, but I don’t get how people are so lazy these days

Front nine better than the back (water issues). Could use some pace of play enforcement.

Fun Course Layout

The course was in good shape, not perfect but acceptable, especially considering the value.
Better players may find it a bit lacking for challenge, but I found it to be challenging enough for my taste.

They’ve Come Long Way

Haven’t played Princeton in years. Never really took it seriously but that has changed. After finding a nice deal in GolfNow, we played it. Course was in a good shape, the greens were great and the layout was fun! It’s not gonna be too challenging but the narrow fairways keep you honest.

Keep up the good work!!

This was a great day at Princeton for the three of us. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The golf was very good. Everything was in good condition. I hope the driving range re-opens soon.
