Nice course but too much goose poop on the front nine

Dry conditions and an overabondance of goose turds on the greens hampered the play on the front nine. Friendly staff and beautiful day helped overcome the geese issues.

Unwarranted pace of play complaints

Twosome pushed up against the threesome I was in and complained to the starter we were going slow. Starter obliged with their complaints and told us to pick up the pace. For how horrible the course conditions are, we still kept a 2 hour for 9 holes pace. Not pros out here, but we understand pacing. Twosome behind us could have played through but never asked to. Instead we were rudely told “you’re two holes behind” despite us having started on time and the tee time ahead of us having teed off early. Not fair to patrons who are playing at a typical pace, to be told to sped up because a smaller group is pushing behind us and the group in front teed off early. Can’t expect the pace of professionals at a public course.

Afternoon at Princeton CC

The course is nice and a good value. Back few holes need some work. Greens are decent shape but no one seems to want to fix their divots, especially the kids who played. If u r going to have an Academy for younger players, a little course etiquette; course responsibility should be a part of the lessons.

Worst golf experience in 15 years

Zero golf conduct and etiquette exhibited on course by some groups with no enforcement from course staff who watch in real time.
If you enjoy dodging golf balls sailing your way without warning 3-5 times a round it may be worth it.

The course was borderline unplayable. In fact, after arriving we found out there were 5 holes that were closed, and only a $10 discount was applied. This should be listed on GolfNow and their website so patrons can be aware that they will only play 13 holes.

14-17 Needs work

The back still has a wetness issue. They cut down a lot trees but the need to get some trenches in the fairways to channel the water to the lake. Besides that it was an enjoyable round where I I played with a great guy named Cody.
