Pros:
Price was right.($42 for an 8:15am tee time)
Range and practice green in close proximity to 1st tee box.
Greens were in great shape

Cons:
Course has no character. Many identical holes. Confusing layout
Fairways were in subpar condition.
Tee boxes and cart paths were in terrible shape.
*No starter.*

By the 4th hole I had already decided that I would never make the drive from South Jersey to Ed Oliver again because of the boring layout and choppy fairways. But all of that was overshadowed by what occurred between the 8th green and 9th tee box. Our 3some was approached by a staff member, posing as a Ranger. Despite his politeness, he managed to insult our group with innuendos, assumptions, and incorrect information.

As I mentioned previously, there was no starter, so the 2 4somes in front of us seemed to be right on top of one another with the leading group playing very slowly. We were a 3some and we had a 2some playing behind us. We had to wait on nearly every tee box and most of the approaches on the front. Enter Ranger Rick!

“I’m going to need you guys to pick up the pace. Every group behind you is jammed up and the group in front of you is already in the 10th fairway.” Despite my sizable frustration, I bit my tongue and replied “sure thing!” When we actually made it to the 10th tee box, we were able to see the group ahead of us, who was now a 2some, just pulling up to the green. We finished the fromt in 2hrs 15 minutes, which is slow by my standards, but right on time for a 3some stuck behind 2 4somes. I do not appreciate being blamed for backing up the course when you don’t have a starter to ensure that pairings are set, and groups don’t tee off too early,

I will never frequent this course again and I would not recommend anyone else to either, unless you don’t mind being blamed for others incompetence.
