Pretty good alternative despite....

The swarms of gnats (on the East course)....bug spray is a must!
Nice, comfortable course layout .... fairways, greens & especially the bunkers are well maintained. Recommended.........
Trying the West course next.

Best value in North NJ

I like to walk. So for $60, I haven’t found a better value. The course is in premium condition with no major issues. Fairways are cut tight and the greens rn are rolling pretty darn quick. Surrounding land is also pretty stunning, including the 19th century graveyard next to 10.

Also a very attentive drink cart plus a solid bar/grill overlooking the two finishing holes. All told, it’s my favorite place to play in the area.

Fun time with friends.

Course was great fun, but had way too many mosquitoes since it’s practically on marshlands.

Quick round on a hot day…

Conditions on The East course are as good as I’ve ever seen and I’ve been playing here over 40 years. Greens were immaculate, maybe a tad slow after a rainy week. Beautiful, level tee boxes. Nice fairways. Starter got us out on back nine at 4:45pm as there was a league on front 9…our twosome finished before 8pm…thanks.
