Course plays longer than you think. Pick the right Tee's.
The greens rolled really well. A lot of up and down. Extra points for the windsock flagsticks.

...for beginners. A short course with tight fairways. Long par 3's. It was fun. A great place to work on your game. The greens were the best part, smooth, well kept and just enough undulation to keep it interesting

Conditions are excellent throughout. Just not many memorable holes. The course is flat, but some long walks from green to next tee. Deep heather looks nice but slows play when looking for balls.

Course in excellent condition and now they're letting the rough grow in to increase the challenge.

Every hole makes you think where to place your tee shot so you will have a good angle into the green. Conditions were good and the greens were a little bumpy, The rough is in, so stay in the fairway. I really enjoy playing here, especially $35 to ride

... the best in the state, for public golf. Condition were excellent, greens were quick and terrific views

I had the opportunity to play the course through the NJSGA Member Golf Day Program. Very enjoyable.
Conditions were excellent. My favorite holes were # 1, par 3, over a pond to an elevated green. #10, par 4 cape hole with 2nd shot over water and #18, par 5, with 3rd shot over the pond. Greens were quick and undulated.

Some difficult holes here. #2, #5, #9 and #18 are real bears, with mostly metal woods into the greens. And then there's #8, long par 3 with no bailout. Still needs a ranger

Rolling terrain, but only 1 blind shot. Conditions were very good for all the rain we've had. Many of the greens are raised up, so take extra club. finished in 3.5 hours, excellent!

They've narrowed the fairways and let the rough grow in. Get ready for a challenge. Also some tree removal.
It's all good. And the greens are almost there, from the aeration that was was done last November

I enjoyed the course. Some very good holes. My favorite was #15 short, par 4, but all up hill. Keep it below the hole. Plenty of blind shots off the tee, but there wasn't much trouble, except the group in front of you. Over 5 hours on a weekday, just way too long. And no ranger

Short and tight at this county course. Some interesting holes. My favorites were #9, short par 4, straight up hill. And #11, par 5 with OB left and trees and bunkers right. Keep it to the right though, because the green is tucked in left behind the trees. Conditions were good throughout. Greens would be treacherous if they were cut shorter.

Wow!! This is an old school, Donald Ross course. Tees are close to greens, so it is very walkable. It's all about the green complexes and knowing where to hit the greens or what side to miss on. You could be just a few yards off the green and still couldn't get it close to the pin. Every hole was interesting. Conditions were very good, including greens, tees and fairways. Only $37 for a senior to ride. I can't wait to go back.

Imagine driving an hour after tee time was made, to then be told the back 9 was closed and it was cart path only. They were not thinking about their customers.
Course was wet so it was understandable, but please, tell me. Tight, tree line fairways with some blind holes.
I recommend sending some one up forward to track drives. I recommend only if you want to play somewhere new. I don't think I'll be back.

Might be the best greens I played all winter. Should be great this summer. All conditions were good and some interesting holes.

Not too long (I like this) with some fun holes
Favorites were #7, short par 5, with water off the tee and again in front of the green. #8, par 4, dogleg right with a pond fronting the green. Why do courses aerate during the winter? Grass doesn't grow and it remains like that much longer. Probably won't recover till mid-May. The greens were also covered with pebbles from the sanding. Hit and hope!

Any discussion about the best courses in New Jersey, must include "The Banks" course. Every hole is exciting in one way or another, especially the green complexes.
Course conditions were excellent and the greens were quick. And tell me a course in NJ that has 4 better par 3's

The course is in good shape for this time of year.
Greens really rolled well.

Good conditions for this time of year. I like #12 a short par, but tee shot is over water. The greens are very undulating, glad they weren't too fast.

This course is still owned by the bank, but apparently they hired someone who knows about managing a golf course. Conditions are much improved throughout. I really enjoy playing here and happy to see it getting better.
