Exceeded My Expectations
Decided to get 9 holes in with a few friends at the last minute and this course had lots of openings which made me a tad concerned. All that concern went away quickly. Really nice and slightly challenging course but a fun time was had by all. Will definitely be back!
Great Time
Wanted to play 9 holes with my boys and this course was great. Interesting hole layouts with each hole offering a little something different. Definitely coming back.
Fun and challenging 9 holes
Shadyrest was the first black American golf club in the US. It’s an exciting and very well-maintained Nine hole golf course in the heart of Scotch Plains. Great care is taken to maintain the grounds and the customer service in the pro shop is outstanding. You can’t go wrong playing a round in Shady rest.
Great staff and great course
I played just after the rain so everything was soaked. But even in that the condition was still great aside from what Mother Nature delivered. The guy at the counter was also very friendly and helpful. Definitely play here if you’re looking for a nice walkable 9 hole course
Great value!
I like this course because it’s not too crowded, has 9 challenging holes (and many times you can play 18) for a very reasonable price. There are no real amenities but I don’t care about that. The conditions on Tuesday were okay but I found that I lost a lot of balls simply because I couldn’t find them amongst the fallen leaves.
Great course for starters
I played this with my 11yr old, and it was great. It is a short course and was perfect for my young son. The pace of play was also great, we finished in 2 hrs.
Tight short course
Very tight course, very short, but potential to lose a lot of balls. Good course to practice on as price is cheap.
Great Day playing Golf
The starter was so professional ( Greg Sills) the way he treated all the players,, I would recommend this course any time you need to play 9 holes..
Very Nice for a Quick Nine
This is a cute little 9-hole course with a lot of history. If not for Golf Now, we wouldn't even know it existed. My GPS found it OK. There was plenty of room for parking. We thin that since it is only a 9-hole course, most people don't go here since they are mostly looking for 18-hole courses. This course was a pleasant surprise to find.
