GUR should stand for greens under repair. Very disappointing conditions on the greens. Pace of play was terrible and there were no marshals. The layout has never been a favorite but on previous visits conditions were quite good.

Always enjoy this course. Nice layout, well maintained and good pace of play. Greens were not good at all due to recent aeration but otherwise all good.

Many tee boxes allow anyone to match up with their own abilities.

Been playing here since the course first opened. Conditions have been on a long slow decline over the last 5 or 6 years. Climate is harsh but other courses around town seem to be managing better including a couple nearby munis. In addition to course maintenance, it is surprising to see significant damage to cart paths going unrepaired for years. Finally the massive build up of housing around the coursed tracts from the experience.

I am sure that I will keep coming back but it's disappointing to see the decline.

Of the 2 courses at Ventana, I have always preferred the Canyon. Mountain is also great but Canyon is all right in front of you with no drama. Maybe it's a little easier too. Anyway, who doesn't like posting lower scores?

This time of year its easy to get around in about 3 hours as a twosome which is a big plus.

This is one of my favorite local courses. Unfortunately the management decided to skip overseeing this winter. Painted fairways and greens really detract from the experience.

Not terrible but nothing special either. It seems to have been someone's dream for a championship golf course which just hasn't materialized. Highlights are the large mature trees and the fact that it isn't stuck in the middle of a housing development.

This is a very nice track in good condition. Many elevated tee boxes help shorten the course. Bunkers could use a lot of work. Best described as a half inch of dirt on concrete. Greens, fairways and tee boxes all very good.

Greens were patchy and inconsistent all the way around. Painted fairways and greens are a joke. This course is not a bad layout but the poor conditions detract from the experience. .

Still cart path only which meant the course was wide open and pace of play was excellent. Greens a bit slow but running true and conditions pristine. Like this 18 better than the Conquistador side. The new management seems to be doing a good job so far.

The course had scheduled a tournament on the same day as our round. We didn't find out until getting to the course. The starter told us not to worry that the course would be wide open on the back nine . NOT TRUE the round got slower and slower. We quit after 4 hours and 12 holes.

Played in a foursome in 3 hrs 30 minutes. Course was in great shape. Greens were relatively fast but true.

Rangers totally failed to manage pace of play. We were stuck in golfing purgatory standing around on every shot. Our round required 5 1/4 hours to complete which is 45 minutes longer than the target set by Ballyowen and at least 75 minutes longer than it should take. It's certainly the nicest public course in NJ but I'll never be back.

Very nice course. Lots of bunkers but many of these are there to get in your head and can easily be avoided. Fairways are very wide. Greens are large with modest undulation.

Very generous fairways but quite a few have well placed bunkers which see to catch many a well struck shot. Steer clear if you want a good score!
