Winter Golf

January 22nd and golfing in the Northeast is a good thing. Temps were low 40'2 but the winds were only 4mph so it was very bearable. The course was cart path only which is normal for this time of year in the Northeast. The course was in really good shape and the greens were rolled and fairly quick.

Best part was the French Onion soup in the Clubhouse and the flatbread blackened Tuna with wasabi and spicy aioli.

Disgusting Orchard

I put my review on the website so all I'm going to say here is that there is not one thing that I could say good about this golf course. It is disgusting and they shouldn't charge more than $3 to play this golf course. What's sad is that ownership is making millions and they don't put a penny into the golf course. I will never even think about this golf course ever again..

This was bad

My tee time booked last Saturday through Golf now was for 2:21 pm today. On Tuesday I received a call from the course saying mistake was made on tee sheet and they moved my time back 18 minutes. What they did was put 2 foursomes of older gentlemen who were incredibly slow and no Ranger moving them along and it was a horrible
5hr n 8 minute round.

Also 77 degrees and the cart girl left and no one on the course knew about it. This course use to be pristine and tee boxes horrible as well as greens and is definitely not a $60 course. I won't come back here.

This course is pristine all the time. Tee boxes, fairways plush and bunkers excellent. It's a joy playing this course in June as well as October. Best thing is they keep you moving and can count on a 4 hour round for a foursome.

March Madness :)

Playing golf in the Northeast in March is always a good thing. The course has an amazing layout and the openness and views are really pretty. The wind was an issue but the course was in amazing shape considering winter. The greens were rolled that day and the fairways and tee boxes were pristine. The staff was very polite. If I had any complaint it is that I arrived as a single at 11:05 AM for my round and was put with 3 other golfers and although the course was empty they still made us wait 50 minutes until our scheduled 12:10 PM tee time. That is not anything terrible that would sway me from not going back again. I look forward to making this one of my 10 courses to play during the season this year.

Winter Golf in the NE

To be playing in December in the NE is a great thing right from the get go. Upon arrival you are greeted by a very friendly staff. The Pro shop isn't great but there is a very nice putting area where you can chip as well. We were a foursome and went out on time. Weather was 49 degrees partly sunny and no wind. Course was fully blown clean for leaves and did not lose 1 ball because of leaves. The fairways, sand traps and greens were beautiful. Pace was great and course layout very nice. I will definitely come back to play here again.

My Blue Heron (take on the movie My Blue Heaven)

It was an absolutely amazing fall morning and from the moment I arrived I knew that the people running this course knew exactly how to provide a fantastic consumer enjoyment. Everyone was so professional and attentive from check in to the starter. The putting green and chipping practice area were beautiful and the course was in excellent condition. I drove 90 minutes to play this course after a friend told me about it and I would again and again and again!!

Love this Course

I look for this on Golf Now Hot Deal all the time. From the moment you enter the parking lot you know that this is a well maintained course. When you enter to check in the Pro Shop staff is awesome and the variety of all your golf needs are present. The entire facility is spotless including bathrooms. Outside the Driving range, putting and chipping areas ae all well maintained. The snack bar is exceptional as well as sandwiches and hot. The best for last is the course, tee boxes, fairways, sand traps and greens are all in amazing shape which is why beyond a shadow of a doubt for me is the best Hot Deal in Central NJ!!

Great course with excellent staff

To be playing golf in NJ on February 11th it was amazing. The temperature was 55 degrees and the tee boxes, fairways and greens were excellent for this time of year or any other time of year for that matter as well as the sand traps. I got on for $39 with a cart and lunch(which was a great selection of8 choices from chicken fingers, burger, frankfurter, Ceasar Salad, wraps or Calamari with a drink)

The staff starting from the pro shop which has a great selection of items and the staff were courteous and knowledgeable and helpful. The starter kept everyone moving and the pace was good for 4 players(2 walkers) we were done in 4hrs 10minutes.

I understand that this course is about $85-$100 to play in the season and I would definitelt come back again and again and looking forward to playing here again next Saturday & Sunday and it's an 75 minute drive for me and I do not mind taking that drive at all to get here.

Good Play

You tend not to expect much at the end of October when getting lucky enough to just get a day to get out and play. The course(tee boxes, fairways and greens) were in very good shape and they blew the leaves in the morning so finding your ball and putting were not difficult.

I would definitely recommend this course as a very good value.

Little disapppointed

Played this course 2 years ago and I don't remember it being in the poor shape that it was in. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were very poor, all eaten up with grass missing everywhere.

I'm sorry but I would not come back here again.

Irish guy at the desk was AWESOME!!!!
