The starter really does his job well. They were running ahead of schedule (rarity for nj golf recently) so he put us out a bit earlier than scheduled and then had the group behind us tee off on time. We didn’t see the group in front of us or behind us all round, which does wonders for how much you enjoy your round. This is at least the 3rd or 4th time I’ve played here where this particular starter (older gentleman) managed the groups well on hole 1 which led to a great day. Rangers are around to remind you to keep it moving if they stray from pace. I greatly Appreciate the pride they take here in course conditions and pace of play, because so many other courses are playing on temporary tee boxes (for full price obv) with horrible conditions up and down the course and pushing groups on top of each other. This is one of the top public courses you can play in Monmouth county.

This course overbooks on purpose. When you go on their website, you will see tee time intervals of 4 minutes in some sections. You are guaranteed to start 30 minutes after your scheduled tee time and play a 5-6 hour round. If you book a matinee after 4 you will not finish 18 holes. It is evident that LCC is not interested in providing a good golf experience, but instead interested in throwing as many groups out as quickly as possible to maximize profits.

Do not play here, and if you have and had your round cut short due to starting late/pace of play then file a complaint with your bank and get your money back. This course is a scam and any positive reviews left are clearly people associated with the course.

My group had a 4:45 tee time on a Sunday evening, and were put out almost 30 minutes late. The starter just piles groups on top of each other, which ruins pace of play. We were waiting two groups at a tee box at one point. It took 2.5 hours to play the front 9, and then the ranger came up to us on hole 12 saying carts had to be in and that we were done. Pace of play had long been an issue at this course, but this is unacceptable to charge for 18 holes, put us out late, and then cut our round short. Conditions are bleh as well. There is no greenside rough, it’s all weeds and dead spots which makes short game impossible.

This course needs to hold up their end of the bargain as far as how they operate. Will not play here again.

Just searching for courses to play and came across this place charging people $73 to play on a Saturday morning in October. If you pay this rate to play on this non-sense course, then you deserve to have your head examined. This course is laughable, I played it earlier this summer and felt like I was storming the beaches of normandy. One of the greens didn’t have a hole cut into it! I feel personally offended, and I almost want to set up a protest group in front of their clubhouse.

This course is unacceptable on all accounts. You couldn’t pay me to play here again. Just completely unkept and there is a clear lack of effort being put into course maintenance. The bunkers are growing trees in them, fairways look like my messy neighbor’s front lawn, and green speed varies by hole. Just a mess. I wish I were smart enough to take pictures because this place makes Cruz farms look like Augusta. Pathetic.
