Hasn`t changed in 35 years

not sure who rated this course 4 & 5 stars but they must not get out much. Course was in poor shape. greens were bumpy and slow with 5 types of grass. bunkers had no sand in them...rough hadn`t been cut in who know how long making finding your ball difficult. course had standing water everywhere(rained day before) I played it 35 years ago...it ill be another 35 before I play it again

Bummed Out

I played for Rutgers in the early 70`s and hadn`t been back since 1974. I thought with the school in the "Big 10" and The Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School this course would be in exceptional condition. WRONG!!! Greens were slow and bumpy. We had to play "winter rules" because the fairways were bad (many white lined areas) rough was spotty. bunkers inconsistent. If I was still playing for Rutgers i would be embarrassed to host any other college team on this course (let alone a "Big 10" school. It will be another 43 years before I go back

Best Greens for putting-Worst Everything Else

The one good thing about this course is that these are the best putting surfaces to put on. HOWEVER........
The collars are so soft and the greens so hard to hold it makes it impossible to get close to front pins.
The entire course needs repair. Many bare spots.
Boring layout (two of the par 5`s look and play the same and 3 of the par 3`s look and play the same.
They closed the on course bathroom at 4pm and the clubhouse closed before 5. If you can pay $10 to just go practice your putting, do it...otherwise don`t waste your $$

Thank you for your review and I'm sorry for the slow play. Our low Saturday Special rate and great weather attracted a big crowd. 95% of Our rounds are played in less than 4:15 this mainly to due to our open links layout. The greens were actually slowed down to 12 and we understand that not everyone likes fast greens. Our regulars love them. I hope that you'll give us another chance, I promise that you'll not find a better course for the $35 you paid.

I disagree with your assessment of the layout - I play here all the time and can't figure out which par 3's & 5's your talking about.

Tired and raggy? We just had the Honda Classic qualifier at Champions Club the pros gave the condition of the course and greens as excellent. We were chosen to hold this event for that reason. Feel free to call me anytime..

Need about 50 more acres to make this a golf course

Chi Chi crammed 18 holes in too tight a space. You need a map and a compass to figure which tee box to play. Crazy tight layout. Maybe ok for very short straight players. Stay away if you want to hit driver(almost every hole requires a layup)

Hey, Robert. Thanks for taking the time to review our course. We regret to hear that your round was less than what you expected. We realize that tough to enjoy your round when the pace is very slow and you're not enjoying the layout and having to lay up so often. We are constantly working to improve the course conditions to make each golfer's round more enjoyable. We look forward to having you out to play again soon.

Very Strange Layout

Greens OK. Fairways bad. Tees fair. Bunkers OK
might be ok for someone who hits it short and straight.too many doglegs that you need to lay up on(I hit 4wood from at least 6 tee boxes including par 5`s)hit mant tee shots that looked perfect that wound up in hazards and or never found. 18th hole craziest hole I ever saw .two greens... one straight away maybe 300 yards, the other 90 degree dogleg that you have to hit a 4 wood off tee then have 200 yards in.depending on what tee box you play, I played with a group and we finished the 18th hole on two different greens??? How do you have a match against someone???

Worst Conditions in NJ???

Very bad experience from start. Called ahead to ask about aeration, they said no. When we arrived they aerated that morning. Pro shop said it was "a surprise aeration" Course was unplayable...bunkers were hard packed full of stones, fairways had little to no grass, rough had no grass and some rocks.. Trees cut down and removed but no attempt to remove stumps or repair area where machines worked. I realize it was 3/31/16 but nobody was working on course to get it ready for play. There were so many bad areas that it would take a full year of constant work to get the course where you could play summer rules and not damage a club
