Rude Staff and Closed Facilities

I played at this course several times this past season and also paid for rounds of my friends and coach. When you combine this with the money spent on range balls, drinks, and food, I spent thousands of dollars there this past summer. I am a holder of their basic $60 card as well.

The course itself is pretty decent. It's not in great shape, but it's not in bad shape. I have had several personal best scores here, so I will be rooting for them to improve..

The starter and ranger at this course are often very rude. They've been rude to me on more than one occasion and I've seen them be rude to patrons more times than I can count. There really needs to be some work put into retraining or potentially replacing staff that treat customers rudely.

They also need to look into a better mechanic or maybe buying a new ball picker for the range. The range is often closed because they can't get any balls. Sometimes the course itself is closed for no reason as well. I've driven here at least 10 times on sunny days when I wanted to practice or play and the range or course were closed.

Also, don't hit practice balls on the range when the picker is broken and there are no balls to be bought... the aforementioned rude starter or ranger will scream at you. I saw the starter scream at a 75 year old man like a child for hitting some of his own balls since the picker was broken again. I also heard the starter telling older golfers they need to learn to "just putt quickly so he can go home on time." Heaven forbid you take a minute to plan your putt for a par or birdie on this guy's watch. Absolutely ridiculous behavior.

This course is very close to me and so I really wish it was better given the convenience. I may try it again at some point but at this point in time- I won't be giving EO any more of my few thousand dollars in annual business.

Great track

I really like this course. I've played here 2x now. The greens are pretty fast so it is good practice for private and nicer courses with faster greens. The course in general is in good shape as well. There's some minor spots that need work in the fairway and on the fringe but overall it's above average for a public course. The greens are also relatively small and there are some blind shots on the course which makes it challenging. My only real complaint is that the rough is pretty untamed. I lost a handful of balls that were in play just bc the rough was super thick. Overall strong recommend though!

Solid local course

I have a county card so this isn't one of my golf now spots but I do really like this course. I play here and weequahic a lot. I like how open this course is and it's a bit longer so you can bust out the driver if you want. There's also not much in the way of hazards which is nice for someone at my level of skill as well.

Solid for the money

I play this course whenever they offer the deal of $30 with the cart. It is a fine enough course and I hear the management is pretty new. They are doing a pretty good job imo. Greens do play hard and straighter than you think. Tees are also generally closer than posted. For $30 it is just fine. My only major complaint today was that the bunkers, particularly the on on 16 were really really hard. It played like cement which wasn't fun when trying to dig out of a trap. Overall I still recc the place and hopefully they will continue working on the course and offering good deals.

Beautiful course

I played here onca rainy day when most golfers cancelled the round. I didn't mind getting a little wet and so had the place to myself. It was a challenging course and probably a bit behind my current skill level since I'm a complete newbie. It was still a ton of fun and I got good practice shooting out of bunkers. Also, shout-out to a gentleman named Robert who was especially helpful and nice. His service made me want to go back.

Great course

I got a nice deal on golfnow to try out Rutgers. I loved it. It was a very nice course in good condition. I loved the electric carts. The greens were fast and some tough pin locations but can't wait til the next time I get to play there.

Really enjoyed it

This was a really nice course. I saw a deal and took the drive down. Was not disappointed. Everything was as you would want it. Driving range and putting green available to warm up. Would definitely return.
