All Downhill

I wish I would have trusted reviews! But sadly, I read them after booking. This course was nice at one time. Now, it looks like a "money grab" for the owners. The excuse for worst fairways ever was, "we had a really bad winter". Meamwhile, about 30 minutes away is Stoughton Acres golf course whose weather would be the same yet their fairways, greens and tee boxes didnt look like they had been repeatedly bombed by SCUD missles. This now in contention for worst course in PA. Barely a decent place to ter the ball, fairways were average about 50% grass, 50% mud or rocks. Greens were green but not sure what all is growing on them.. (i think i spotted some seaweed)

The staff pretty much seemed like the were on Prozac. Oh, and driving range was once again CLOSED.

MIGHT be worth $15 if they threw in a few hot dogs (fresh ones, not the week old ones they seemed to have) and tossed in a free box of PRO V1's!

Lots of room for improvement

Upon arriving, I had to stand and wait while pro shop workers huddled and talked about their previous games. Finally, one of them decided MAYBE a customer should be waited on. His question was, "can I help you, Bub?" Bub? I was wearing my TPC Sawgrass hat and shirt, which I had recently played, along with expensive Oakley sunglass and a new Garmin S62 watch. I don't expect to be refered to as "Bub". (Also, I am 62, not some young kid) Oh, and finding the cart guy/starter became a man hunt. He was nowhere to be found!
The course itself was fine with the exception of very slow players. No course Ranger? By the 10th, we were backed up 4 groups, and it just got worse. On a Tuesday?
We decided to grab a hot dog and drink and hope it thinned out. We were kindly informed that the inside tables were only for people who ordered off the menu. The patio was only for takeout. No problem, we went to the patio saw the sign, "take out only" but then noticed 2 tables ordering from the menu! Make up your minds!
Some serious employee training is needed here. I now understand why many of my golf friends refuse to play here.
TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES!
That was part of my career, these employees would likely be replaced at any major course.

2nd chance

Gave this course another try after a few years. It's as bad as ever. Sadly, the course is nice but the "FREE PLAYERS", (St. Barnabas) residents do whatever they want and no consideration for pace of play or for other players. We were lined up 4 and 5 groups on most tees and it didn't stop players from hitting 2 or 3 balls off the tee. And of course that continued up to being on the greens. People riding carts in front of you as you're ready to tee off, balls flying all over the place. Nobody considers yelling FORE! We had hoped after bad reviews, they would hire a ranger to take care of these issues but, no such luck. This will be the last time we ever play this course! It's obvious the free players run the place and have no concept of golf etiquette.

All Downhill, not in a good way

Haven't played this course in about a year. The new owners don't seem to care about maintaining it. Great course for FREE ( to St. Barnabas residents) but not worth paying for. None of the fairways or rough were taken care of anymore. Grass clippings everywhere for your ball to hide under. Greens were not in great shape, bunkers were hard as a rock with rakes left in them. And, what's that smell? Sadly, it was once a nice, well maintained course. I am sure it will have patio homes for senior citizens on it soon!

Most Excellent!

Really nice course for all levels. Beginners may want to pay more attention than normal to where they place shots. Is not boring for experienced players. Great layout, Great variations. Definetly will be back here again. Staff was also great, facility is great. Didn't try the food but noticed many people eating there so I am guessing it is great as well.

Absolutely ridiculous

What course would book tee times when they have a tournament/outing? I was held back over an hour from my tee time and had to play along with a group of people involved in their outing. Pace of play was worst I ever dealt with. The ranger came along once and when I mentioned the slow pace and that I had couldn't be here all day, he said he would see what he could do, which was nothing. I had to leave without being able to play all the holes after close to 5 hours. (Left without playing 4 holes) The club house is a mess, bathrooms are filthy, I wouldn't eat food there if they paid me. "Sanitary" doesn't exist!

Weekends, not good

I like the course, staff is great. Just don't play on a weekend unless you have 6+ hours to kill and don't mind bobbing and weaving as balls are flying everywhere. Oh, and carts may be crossing your fairway by someone looking for a ball from 2 or 3 holes over to either side. To be fair, probably not much different than other local courses on a weekend. It is a fun course and a great layout, good value.

Great time

Wish the driving range was open, just picked a bad time. Also, #10 and 11 were a bit of a mess but it's understandable when making changes. Still very playable.

Maybe a bad day?

Very slow pace. Ranger approached our group and informed us there was a group 4 ahead of us that was causing the problem. Isn't that his job to do something about it rather than just inform us? I may give this course a 2nd chance since is was a very nice course outside of the pace. But, there are so many other courses to play, it is not on my list right now.

Great Course, period!

I am not sure how there can be any negative reviews of this course. Excellent condition from start to finish. Great design, well maintained. In most states, it would be considered a country club. Ignore any negative reviews, they must have been lost.

Very nice, easy course

Well kept course that is worth the money. A bit on the easier side for anyone looking for a longer, more challenging course. Excellent course for beginners and great fun for intermediate and even advanced players. Would be great if they had a driving range and a chipping area. But, a lot of courses in this area don't have either so it's not abnormal.

Excellent!

Worth every penny. Great condituons, great layout. Nice putting green and driving range. Not much more anyone could ask for. Several holes are definitely challenging enough for seasoned players but overall, interesting enough for beginners.

BUG CENTRAL!

This course was nice except for the gnats EVERYWHERE. There was barely a shot anywhere on the course where they would not swarm all over you. As soon as I came home, I had to take a shower. They were in my ears, eyes, nose, hair and mouth. I have NEVER seen a course this bad! I was so close to walking off but a friend was with me and he came a long way to get there. I have been to MANY courses in the US and never encountered anything close to this bad. Oh, and the water hazards were putrid with dead fish floating in them. Looks like all they do at this course is cut the grass and nothing more to make it enjoyable. I wouldn't play here again if they paid me $30! Sad to see all the other golfers spending more time swatting gnats than hitting shots.
