Top-5 public courses in NJ
I absolutely love this course. The conditions, the layout, and the balance of challenge versus playability are pretty close to perfect in my opinion. I’ve played the East Course, and now the West Course, and this is my preferred; however, both are quite good. I will keep coming back over and over again and, at least for now, it has become my top public course in the northern New Jersey area, at least in the affordable price range. There are a few others you’d have to put above this one in terms of conditions and uniqueness, but those are over $100, which is what makes this one such a great go-to course. It won’t break the bank.
The other thing I love about Preakness is that it has a driving range for warm-up. So few courses these days allow for full warm-up in putting, chipping, and driving/irons. Just another reason why I enjoy playing this course more than most.
Very Friendly Course
Except for a few holes, this course is friendly to the average golfer. It is a very accommodating golf course.
Nice Layout
I like to play this course once or twice a year. The layout is not tricky or quirky. It’s pretty straight forward and fair with the exception of a couple holes. They have also improved the drainage conditions, so it is better maintained than past years, though still wet in some areas. I like playing here and think it’s decent for the greens fees
Aeration!
Except for the greens (recently aerated), the west course is enjoyable!
Great course with nice layout
It is a good county course. The course condition is getting better and better than before!
Preakness Valley GC West
I found this course to be wonderful. Fairways, greens and practice facilities were in great condition. Very nice senior rate as well. This was my first time playing here, visiting from Florida, but will definitely play here again next time I am in town.
Nice course, great shape
Played West course for first time, course in great shape, good value for non resident. Will be back to try the East course
friendly staff, nice practice area
