nothing special

Played this course for the first time. Drove up and small parking lot was full due to kids lessons. I had to park down the street several hundred yards from the course. The holes are not at all memorable, either dog leg right, left or straight with 2 bunkers on left and right of greens. Greens were in good shape, fairways were so-so. Easy to walk course- very flat. Holes are close to one another so stray balls will get into other fairways. Pretty narrow fairways with trees on all sides.

Challenging short track in the central NJ area

Friendly staff from the pro shop to the starter. Short but challenging track due to narrow fairways and small size greens. Had a early morning tee time midweek so pace wasn't an issue.

Jam Packed

Staff was friendly and hard to complain about a tee time I got for essentially $10 after using my GolfNow credit on Hot Deals but course was mobbed with players (prob cause its a cheaper option honestly). Random dirt patches in the approach areas and greens bounced randomly when you putt made it a little frustrating when you had a makeable one. Again, overally prob a 3 star since its such a deal but to be that crowded and backed up on a Tuesday afternoon was wild.

Princeton CC

Played as a single got wedged between two foursomes. 2 hours and 45 mins in I left after 9. Course is really short and really crowded. Not enjoyable. Starter was nice but overwhelmed with too many groups. Knew it was trouble the minute I pulled into lot with cars making there own spots on grass.
