Coming Back Nicely!

I was member for several years and then left because the course had gone down hill. The new owner and superintendent are doing a terrific job. I can't wait to see how it continues to progress. Greens, bunkers fairways are all superb. Tee boxes and rough around the greens (chipping areas are spotty.

One of the best in NEPA

Great layout. Terrific conditions. Challenging shots. Lots of slope, uneven lies. Greens roll perfect. Fairways are pristine. Tee boxes are level and trimmed tight. A very interesting and varied layout. Beautiful setting. Good halfway house.

Perfect fairways to hit irons off of. Level lush tee boxes. Great greens. Interesting and fun layout. Difficulty level is definitely on the higher side.

Early season

Fairways are beautiful. Perfect to hit off of even this early. Greens are very good as well for early season and I anticipate them being excellent. They do need an aeration I believe. A little hard to hold. Bunkers still need fixing and some of the chipping areas around greens are pretty bare and hard pan. I like the progress. The layout is phenomenal. Every hole is different, interesting and challenging.

Making good progress

I was a member here for years. The course that was always the premier NEPA layout with stunning views had fallen into disrepair. The membership dues became to high for the value offered which is saying a lot given its pedigree. Even a mediocre Paupack Hills is worth playing. The new owner and superintendent have got things moving in the right direction. The greens are excellent, smooth and true. The fairways are like hitting off a carpet. The tee-boxes are better each time I play (please level #14 one of these days). The bunkers are a mess but I am told that project begins next year and the rough around the greens is still spotty, sometimes hardpan or tufts between hardpan which can be frustrating for just a slightly errant shot. Overall, I would say the course I fell in love with and joined 20 years ago is making a comeback. Keep it up!

Coming into form

I was member here for several years and left a few years back because the conditions had deteriorated. I play at least once a year to see how it’s progressing with the new owners and I am happy to report it’s coming back after a few years with the new regime. The greens are excellent and the fairways are beautiful to hit off of. Tees are mostly back to form. The bunkers must be last on the list because they are not yet up to the level of the rest of the course and pretty much unplayable in some cases. Overall it made me excited to see this gem looking a lot more like her old self.

Almost perfect

This is a country public golf course in every sense, but it has a fabulous layout. No two holes are the same and all are interesting. Greens are running fast and smooth. The fairways, rough and bunkering are also terrific. Tee boxes especially the ladies need some work but we saw several new ones in process of being built, so, the future is even brighter.

Great Experience

I love this course. Every hole is well designed and beautiful. Every shot a challenge. Conditions are as good as you could expect, tees, greens, fairways, etc., minus the bunkers, which could benefit from some attention, though they were imminently playable not in step with the rest of the course. I played with my girlfriend, who is a decent golfer and it beat her up pretty good. The ladies tee boxes in many cases are not much different than the men's. I would say it is not a female friendly course as far as yardages go as well as the forced carry second shot on 13 over a large chasm. It is now a new favorite for me.

A Jack Nicklaus Signature Course

We got this course for a great 'hot deal' on GolfNow for a Monday round. If you can do that, it almost feels like stealing! The condition of the course was fabulous. Greens were relatively quick and very true. Tee boxes level and manicured. The course is challenging but playable. Not a lot of level lies in the fairways, so be good with that. A great variety of holes. Long and short par 3s, 4's and 5s. We hit every club. A terrific day. We were quite satisfied

Perhaps the most unusual course I've ever played

So, this is an old Donald Ross design. Their are several blind shots, mostly on the front 9. We were able to take the carts up to see where we were headed so that was not a problem. Most curious of all was a blind par 3, yes, you heard that right. You hit your shot over a hill and the green is on the other side. Very quirky but both myself and my playing companion thoroughly enjoyed our round. The greens were exceptional, very true and fairly quick. Most were small. The overall conditions were terrific. I will be back, no doubt, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have any interest in the history of course design.

Best value in our area

This is a wonderful layout. Every hole is different and a good challenge. The tee boxes are level and trimmed. the fairways are neatly cut. The rough is moderately penalizing. trees everywhere but its not overly tight. There is room to hit the tee shots. great water holes on 7 and 12. Reachable par fives with two good shots. The greens have been very true and moderately fast the first two times I played but they had just been punched and left higher before our round today, so they were slow and bumpy, but good enough considering. They should be back to normal in a week.

Greens were the best I’ve played this year

I’ve played highpoint on and off for years. It’s a terrific layout and very challenging. The par threes are as tough as they come as a collection. Par 4s are an interesting mix of short and long Holes but all challenging. It definitely favors a draw shot over all. For whatever reason there have been times where the course is pretty rough and hard maybe it has to do with irrigation. The fairways were still very hard but the greens and bunkers were terrific. The greens were the best I’ve played this year anywhere. Fast and true. This time of the year is also very beautiful in northern New Jersey.

Like playing golf on a roller coaster

When people say hilly it doesn't begin to express the degree of elevation changes on this course, even on the greens themselves. blind shots on almost every hole. If you haven't played the course before you have no idea on many tee boxes where to hit it. If you like to see the course in front of you and the hole you are playing, go somewhere else. That being said, other than a few truly ridiculous elevation drops on the back nine it was pretty fun and in good condition. Bring your A game and it would probably help to have a range finder with a slope app.

Great day great course

This is a challenging course with a very interesting layout. Every hole is well thought out. A nice combo of long short and medium par threes, fours and fives. Lots of water to avoid but there is plenty of room to hit tee shots. Only a very off line shot is out of play in most cases. the greens are fast true and undulating. The setting is spectacular.

Great nine holer

Don’t be fooled this is a big boys course. Challenging shots on every hole. Elevation changes. Great combo of long short and medium sized holes. Big green complexes and plenty of hazzards to avoid. I actually like the idea that you go around twice and get a second chance to master the challenges the course presents.

Interesting and Challenging layout

I thoroughly enjoyed the golf course. Each hole was well laid out and fun to play. Each hole presented challenges but rewarded a decent golf shot. The greens rolled true and the condition of the course was very good. The staff were friendly and the bar and menu were well appointed.
