course is in great shape!

Haven't played this course for about a year and a half. Had a 1pm tee time and got all 18 in! Great conditions for winter play. Staff is attentive and friendly. Got there to late to use the driving range or practice green. To bad since both are well kept. The weather was cool (low 50's) and overcast but very enjoyable. I find the layout to be fun to play. Got a great deal with GolfNow!

Great conditions in late August

I played last weekend at South Shore Golf Course and most of the fairways were dried out. At Raritan Landing this last Monday the conditions were lush. Tee to green were in great shape! The course was not busy today so pace of play was great. I only paid 10 dollars for the round, so the value was excellent! Both my wife and I needed some approach play practice so this course fit the bill perfectly.
I have played this course many times and the conditions have always been good to excellent.

Great public golf course!

Came across this course on GolfNow for $1 each (Gold-Red)! Read it would be hilly and spent another $41 for the cart (Could have walked). The gold was hilly, but the red was flat. After 2 days of rain, and greens being aerated 10 days earlier, the course was in GREAT(!) condition. I only had to fix a handful of pitch marks because the greens were so firm! The fairways were in great shape and the rough was rough. I really enjoyed the course layout. Some streams and ponds and REAL doglegs! There are 4 sets of tees, I played gold and my Wife played the red: which suited our distances. The weather was chilly and windy enough that the outdoor bar was not open- too bad! Had a GREAT day playing here for the first time and we will be back for more!

Course was in great shape!

For probably the last 70 degree day for 2021 the pace of play was exceptional. Did not get in all 18, but the hotdeal was for 1:50, and I did not expect to get all 18 in. Sunny, low wind and great conditions! Had a good round too!

In good shape considering the recent flooding

Overall a good day of golf. Not many "temporary water" spots. Good layout and conditions. Friendly service in the pro shop. Should have brought some Off! for 15,16 and 17th holes; by 3pm the mosquitos were out! I'm not a member, but the off course amenities for members is very good.
The tee markers are a bit confusing. I'm used to seeing a specific color tee for back, middle and forward tee's. On some holes they seemed out of place. It is a 9 hole course that has a tee mix on the scorecard to add variety.
It is an enjoyable course to play so give it a try!

Good conditions for the second day of Spring.

My wife and I had a great time playing with another twosome on a warm, sunny, early Spring day.. There was a frost delay, so our tee time was delayed a little over an hour and the place was packed with golfers. Pace of play was good considering the amount of players today. As always the conditions at this course were good. Have played this course many times and it's always a pleasure.

Good conditions for a late winter round

The greens were aerated, so conditions will be much better in a few weeks. It was a very windy day and there was a large brush fire nearby that closed the GSP South of the course. Played a hot deal, which was a bargain! The twosome we played with made it a very enjoyable round. If you haven't played Forge Pond, I'd recommend it.

Good early Spring conditions

There was a frost delay and my tee time was delayed over an hour, but thats how it goes in early Spring. It was a banner day with warm temperatures, sunny skies and light breezes! Had a great time with the twosome my wife and I were paired with.

Nice course with difficult greens

Played 9 holes the week before and came back on a nice day for 18. Good conditions after rain two days before. Some holes are difficult with elevation change and lack of flat lies. Many of the holes were in difficult locations where the ball will roll off the green. Greens in general were fast. Had fun playing, most of my drives went where I wanted them to go. Overall a nice place to play.

Nice nine hole course!

The sun shined through thin cloud cover on a fifty degree Winter day. The course was in great shape but the greens were a bit slow, kind of expected for Winter play. Very friendly atmosphere. Has a short driving range but at least you could get warmed up. Not much else to do unless you are a community member, but my Wife and I just came for the Golf and we'll be back!

Good conditions despite the weather and aeration

Its been a very dry September and the conditions are very good considering the weather. The greens have been aerated, some today, but the greens are in terrific shape and are very fast! Perfect golfing weather today! The Hot Deal was a bargain!

Play this course most of the time

Course conditions have improved dramatically since last year. Greens are in the best shape I've seen since starting to play here early last year. Fairways are in very good shape. there is still the problem of golfer's not replacing divots and fixing ball marks. The new management has installed divot fill boxes at the tees and it has improved the tee boxes where it has been used. I have not been playing very long and this is a great course to improve golfing skills. I usually play afternoons and have had no problems with pace of play. For better players, most of the par 4's are drivable, even from the back tees. The staff is very friendly and the food is very good.
Give it a try with your friends or children. They also have Soccer Golf, if you want to try something different.

Muggy day at The Meadows

First time playing the Meadows, a moderately challenging course for my ability. Most fairways will give you a flat lie unless you're aiming for more challenge. The course was in great shape, greens were perfect, tee boxes were a little hard (to tee up). An enjoyable course to play. The bar serves good food and has attentive bar tenders.

Outstanding course conditions!

This is my second time playing here, a week after my first. The greens were aerated just before last weekend's round and the greens are getting better. From tee to green the grass conditions are great! Considering how dry September was I was surprised by the lush conditions.
The Hot Deal made it a bargain to play especially with the "FALL" code. As a non-registered non-resident the course is a bit pricey for a muni, but the conditions do make it worth it!

Very nice short course

Excellent weather and a short course prompted the use of push carts; made for a very relaxing day on the course. For a Saturday with perfect weather the course was not very crowded. Overall course conditions were very good. Some of the greens had bad spots. Since most of the holes are par 3, the incidence of unrepaired pitch marks is obvious. This should not deter anyone from playing such a nicely laid out course. There is plenty of shade along the cart paths to keep you cool on a sunny day.
The greens had some deceiving slopes and played a bit slow today.
Overall a very enjoyable course to play.
Don't forget to have a bite to eat at the club house, as the food is very good, as well as the hospitality.
