Nice muni course

Course is in great shape, no water hazards, but a lot of sand. Pace of play was terrible due to timing and abundance of hackers. Would rate higher if they provided water or had a snack shop / beverage person especially during 85 degree heat and humidity. Vending machine charged 2.50 for a bottle of water at the turn.

Nice birthday gift

I’ve played a lot of NJ courses, but I have to say I was impressed with this course. It’s very hilly, narrow and requires accuracy. The fairways and greens were in great shape, but a few tee box placements were confusing - possibly due to repairs. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed playing here and look forward to returning with a better game.

Overall, a good beginner course

First the bad: 1) tee boxes are in bad shop from overuse. 2) cicada killers are everywhere. 3) pace of play - no one to ‘govern’ the slow pokes. 4) practice range leaves little to be desired and no matts
The good: 1) greens were in pretty good shape 2) cart beverage person was actively doing rounds. 3) it’s still wide open

Conditions were better, still room for improvement

The fairways and tee boxes (except for the 9th hole) were in good shape. Greens were a bit slow and the bunkers could use some more sand and raking. Overall it wasn’t bad for spring conditions. hopefully the rude players on the course will do their part to keep it playable.

Needs lots of TLC

The tee boxes were firm and not well maintained. Greens were cut, but super slow. Most bunkers were unplayable (weeds, standing water, hard top exposed). However, it was inexpensive which made it a value especially to beginner golfers. I kept my expectations low and played in practice mode with my novice family members.

Terrible staff, poorly managed

2nd time playing this course this year and I should've stayed away but the lure of low green fees pulled me back. The course is always running behind schedule, the staff are rude, and the manager is clueless. This course should be the gem of NYC muni courses but it is poorly managed. For instance, the first time I played here on 6/17, they had an outing which led to an hour backup for open golf. Yesterday they had another outing but only on the front nine, which forced everyone to pay the back nine twice. No one was told before they purchased the green fees.
