Well it didn't take long for this inept management team to screw another course up! This course has always been in very good shape. They got their greedy hands on Centerton and that went down hill after promising great improvements. So yes no surprise White Oaks is heading down the abyss of unplayable courses run my these morons who have no business running golf courses. The best part is they are foolish enough to think they are doing a good job and no one notices their complete inability to deliver a good golfing experience! You guys should be embarrassed and you should liquidate your interests in these fine layouts! Please do not buy any more properties in the South Jersey area...

A great day on the links! The weather was perfect and the course was in good shape! Pace of play was average and the staff was nice enough especially Kenny!

We have played a lot of golf this fall and summer 6-8 rounds per month. This was by far the worst conditioned course we have played. Again by far. I will say we haven't played Wedgewood yet this season which has also been in terrible shape the last five years or so.. What is most disappointing was all the talk last summer from the course staff on how course management (Empire Golf) had a plan to greatly improve playing conditions. We played Centerton mid spring this season and the course was only fair when many local courses were in their prime. The conditions today were worse than they were last season. Again disappointing considering the plan to improve. Several of the greens, fringe and approach areas were unplayable. The fairways were thin with very little grass and the rough was overgrown with crabgrass. Clearly they are not investing in the course or they don't know what they are doing based on the condition of other courses in the area I feel as though we were ripped off today. They should be embarrassed to charge $50 for that slop. There will have to be a dramatic turnaround for me to ever return. I'm still waiting on that turnaround at Wedgewood as well. Shameful, simply shameful.

Well, after my not so glowing comments back in August, I made the investment and went out to see for myself on August 27. First let me say it was not my intention to embarrass or hurt anyone's feelings but I wanted to get their attention because I think Wedgewood is a great layout and has high-end potential! I know the people who own it and work there are Well finally I did get their attention and agreed to see it for myself. The rate was reasonable <$40. I had another commitment that day and I only got to play 13 holes. I played the front nine and then 10, 11, 17, and 18. Those four holes on the back nine were the holes I was most interested in seeing. If you know the course, you know why. Overall I would say the course was playable and because I love the layout it was rather enjoyable, I'm glad to say. Although I could have played better I hit some good shots. Most of the greens were smooth and quick, the way I like them. The fairways and tees were fair with some spotty issues but again for the most part playable. The bunkers were raked but contained some rocks and such. According to a GolfNow tee time advisory the crew aerated right after Labor Day. If that's true, give it a couple of weeks to heal and go out and try it. If you haven't played it before you will love this tight, traditional parkland style course design. The green complexes are well designed, well protected and many of them are slightly elevated. They are beautiful when in top notch condition and framed by pure white sand. Check it out. If you have played it before but not been back for a while like myself, give it a try again you know you want to...

Marc, I thought you might have treated for the first one?

A solid layout and always has been. White and Red are above average and the blue nine is average at best. Two par 5s on the blue and you can't hit driver off the tee unless you can carry it 295. Course conditions are very good and the greens are true. The new tavern is nice but the service this day was slow and inattentive. The lack of a good practice facility keeps this facility from being a 4.5. Play it you'll enjoy it...
