I want to start my saying this review is in no way to bash the course. It's strictly one person's opinion of the course. My buddy and I look to play new courses and sometimes, our opinions differ. First and foremost, the staff was great. From the pro shop to the starts to the half-way house guy. The course starts off with 2 nice open holes. We played with two gentlemen who had played there in the past and were able to provide a lay of the land. They warned us that this course is like two different courses and they were not lying. From holes 3 - 6 the course turns into a wooded very difficult course. Hole 4 is completely unnecessary and who ever designed it should never design a golf course hole again. There is challenging, and then there's this hole. Coming out of the wooded area, you have holes 8 and 15 run parallel to each other. Creates a lot of confusion and crisscrossing. let's discuss the course condition. The tee boxes were beyond chewed up. It's only May, how the heck are they in such horrid condition? they're not even making an attempt at reseeding. Some where just dirt. The fairways were good, the greens were all over the place. Some were fast some were slow, some were aerated still and some were not. All-in-all I'm glad we played the course, but it's not worth the 50 min drive from Bergen.

Great course and worth the money for a quick 9. The history and eeriness of being on a mental institution adds charisma. Clubhouse could use a bit of an update, and being able to purchase beer would be nice, but overall nice course.

Fun course, worth the money. Wish the half way house was open, but the cart girl did come by twice. Greens were aerated so putting was tough.

Played today for the first time. Course was pretty much in great shape, bunkers were a bit hard. Cart girl came around frequently. Burgers at the grille afterwards were a hit. We'll definitely plan to be back next year.

I played a scramble tournament here and truly enjoyed the course. Looking forward to get back for a full round.

First time playing. The overall course layout and conditions were great. The bunkers were some of the softest I've played this year. Range was updated equipped with Toptracer. Snack shop was legit and cart girl came by often. Restrooms are also renovated with other renovations going on. Definitely worth the fee and play especially since Bergen County muni courses are the pits. Can't wait to get back out there.

It was a first time for 3 out of the 4 of our 4 some. We played Pines-Links. Links was much more challenging. The drive to get there is interesting. Overall would love to play again. The cart girl made her rounds at the right time. Tee boxes were good, greens were great. The course has a few more lost balls than it did before we played.

First time playing, read great reviews. The 4th hole is a doozy. Can't wait to go back. Only down fall, the senior 4 some behind us kept coming in hot. Other than that, all 5 stars.

Played on Father's Day for the first time. Check in was good but they rushed us from the range to first tee early. Condition of course was OK. There was a weird abandoned Par 3 hole not being used. Food and drinks were good, cart girl came by fairly often. Tee boxes were a mess and in much need of a repair. This course is about $30 over priced. I've played better for less. Glad I played but probably won't be back.
