Pricey but …

The course was in good shape.
Pace of play was not good. We were a 3 some, behind a 4 some, who on the third hole- the third hole spent at least five minutes with the cart girl,as we observed and waited from the tee box.
When the cart girl approached us I suggested she become a Ranger And tell the 4 some to play golf.
The rest of the day we waited way too often,
Our 4 hour 15 minute round would have been 3.45 max..

Excellent practice area,, Complimentary balls on the range , water stations on the course is appreciated.
GPS in the carts..

Deteriorating

Played once before here this season.The course has been beat up since then.
Many of the tee boxes were devoid of grass.
Many burned out rough spots in many of the fairways,
The greens were ok.
Tough to answer the would I recommend question. The course in no way compares favorably to the many others in the area.
The cost is considerably less, so there’s that

Solid

Only negatives- pace of play, but that was expected since were a 2 some.. with 4 somes ahead we played the 18 in 4.30.
Noisy , workers on the front , looked like they were doing some tree repair or removal.
Annoying.
Another thing- there are ho hole diagrams on the scorecard and none as you get to the tees. Only yardage is given on the signage on each hole.
Some unexpected water popped up.
Course like this should off comp range balls.
My playing partner played hers earlier and paid $ 140. .WOULDNT pay that, but a GN hit deal, got us for 80.

Quality

First time playing the course, hope to be back.
Some rough patches on a few fairways but overall ,good conditions.
The greens were excellent. And quick.
For the price, complimentary range balls should be included.
We were behind a slow 4 some, a ranger appeared on a couple of holes into the back and sped them up.

Pace of play a problem

I rated friendliness as excellent.
But
We finally saw a ranger on the back, our 3 some was behind a very slow 4 some.
The ranger told us he talked to the group ahead, but it didn’t help.
Everything else was very good.

Play it while you can

Course opened a year ago.
Played it shortly after it opened. Pristine.
Now, after much play, as expected the fairways are a little “bruised “.
Still, good conditions, fast greens.
Excellent practice area with complimentary balls.
With much construction going on, we were told once the memberships grow with the new residents the course will, at some point, not be open to the public

Good value

Some tee boxes were spotty, but for the most part the fairways were in good shape, the greens were very good. However,
It was an almost 5 hour Round for our 4 some.

Very good, … it’s Mid November

Course was in good shape.
Some sand traps were a bit packed but overall pretty good.
A few of the fairways were full of leaves, making it difficult to find your ball.

Interesting golf course
We have played all the other Somerset county courses -,Spooky, Quail and Warren ( add a Brook to all 3 ) and Neshanic .
This course is much tougher than the 3 “ Brooks “
You’re hitting over hazards on more than a few of the holes . Elevations create many blind shots
This was our first time playing here so there were quite a few surprises. Some deep bunkers
Course is in very good shape . They were blowing leaves off the fairways , rough is thick and with many leaves it’s hard to find a ball that’s not in the fairway .

Pace of play was poor

Everything at GH is top notch. But on this day the pace of play was awful.
Our 12.50 tee time was pushed back to almost 1.15.
Carts needed to be back at .5,30.
We finished on 17 at 5,32 and rode in.
Had we finished it would have been a 4.30 round,

Solid

On a perfect bright sunny day it was difficult. To locate the ball even when in the fairway,
Leaves glistening so everything looked like a ball.
Off the fairway the rough was a little much.. how about a first cut before the high rough. Just a suggestion.
But everything else was top notch.
Rutgers never disappoints

Recent aeration

Many fairways and tee boxes were plugged recently - aside from that CN was as expected .
Quality .
Greens were fine .
This is certainly one of the top courses open to the public in NJ

Excellent

The courses get a lot of play. Justifiably so.
The only negatives — ball marks on the greens.
So many. So rude and irresponsible that players do not fix /repair .
And
Divots in the fairways. It’s not that hard to replace the turf.

As expected

Conditions at Rutgers are always good.
Bunkers can use a little work. Packed down hard sand in many.
Pace of play was not great. Our 4 some behind 4 walkers.. 4.30 to play 18

Pace of play was very poor

Course is in good shape. After 4 days of rain the course drained well
The greens were very good and could be better. Too many ball marks were not repaired. Players need to repair their ball marks. Period.
Our 3 some was behind a 4 some with # walkers, we had to wait on virtually every hole.
That’s the only negative .
