Way too slow.. 5-1/2 hour round…
Too big a group ahead of us 6 people.. never seen that before and hope never to see it again… had to wait at every hole(?we were a foursome
Bring water and lots of golf balls
First time playing. Literally no one on the course at 1 PM on summer weekday. The good - most holes had interesting design and a lot of elevation changes. Relatively cheap compared to golf in neighboring NJ. The bad: No amenities on course - zero water, layout precludes visit to clubhouse at turn, frankensteinian layout requires driving golf cart for miles between holes mostly on residential streets. Greenskeeper must have been on vacation for a year - tee boxes burned to crisp, fairways splotchy, greens dying off. A lot of long forced carries so if you can't drive it 230+ you won't survive. The worst is that there was no drinking water on the course - pure contempt as we didn't bring water with us. Golf cart was rickety and scary going down the many steep inclines.
Course needs water
This course is usually in decent shape for a municipal course. However, with the current lack of rain and what appears to be extremely limited watering on the course. Most of the greens are still okay but you can tell they are drying out and becoming concrete like. The tee boxes are mostly dirt and like another reviewer, they require a hammer to get the tee in the ground. The fairways are sparse and so dry the ground is cracking open. Any sort of slice or draw is exaggerated because of the conditions.
Hopefully some water on the course will fix the issues but stay away until that occurs.
Greens on back nine crisp. They are working on irrigation.
Good overall condition. Will only get better with irrigation repair.
Parched Conditions
Fairways were so parched the dirt showed in dozens of places and it was so dry it was cracked. Tee boxes were horrible and you needed a hammer to set your tee. Greens bounced anything landing on them into the woods and the grass (what there was) “crinkled" as you walked on it. Sad because it’s a nice track with a challenging layout. I won’t be playing again till we get some rain or they fix whatever watering problem they were having.
Burnt Out Course
Played for the first time in probably 15 years and was totally disappointed. The course was totally burnt out (fairways, greens, tee boxes). It was a shame i enjoyed this course in the past. We were also stuck behind four groups that were way to slow. Took almost three hours to play nine holes. We skipped all of them and finished without seeing another golfer. Luckily this was a group golfer deal so did not spend a lot. If I had payed full price I probably would have asked for money back.
Fairways
Fairways could use a little attention - very dried out in places.
