Soldier Hill - Played Alone

With the new rules, veery few get to play and with 20 minutes between starts you don't see anyone, in front or behind for the whole round. The course was in great shape though a little wet. Greens were perfect but fast.

The other person who signed for the time slot didn't show so I played the course alone. Just me and the geese.

Improving

This course has improved from prior years but still has work to do. The greens were all in good shape, fairways were ok. The staff is not very helpful or friendly. There is no water on the course so bring your own. There are zero amenities not even the pro shop is ope. It’s just the course. The rangers all seem to have a power issue. Personally won’t play here anytime soon.

Nice course

First tune at Soldier Hill and I was very impressed. Due to the pandemic, we had to walk and it was one if the easier walking courses in the area. It became my favorite Bergen county course. Can't wait to play again

Better Last Time than 1st time

When I 1st played here the pace was awful and conditions so-so. They have improved a lot and continue to get better. With a fix of the pace issue and maintenance of the tee boxes, this will become a gem in Bergen County.

Soldier Hill on Columbus Day

The cashier did not honor the GolfNow price of $50 because it was Columbus Day even though I had the email that showed $50 price. They charged us $60 plus $16 for a cart.

There was no one at the restaurant for 20 minutes.

The course in Bergen county if you’re looking for a longer track

This is the third time I’ve played soldier Hill, and I really enjoy this course. It’s longer than most courses in the area, certainly the longest in Bergen County, and it presents good challenges to mid handicap golfers and up.

The pace of play depends on when you play… A lot of players prefer to walk so that is going to slow things down on a weekend… But tough to argue with the exercise!

The staff is top notch, and they do a good job of moving things along as best I can… I definitely recommend it…

Drastic Improvements since the county took over

I had long been a vocal critic of this course's horrible conditions before the county took it over when it was Emerson. Year 2 of being a county course and they have done a great job so far. Most fairways and roughs have grown in, the greens have always been really terrific and true, and there's actually grass in the teeboxes now!

Kudos to the county and keep up the good work.

Still impossible to get a teetime at any county course in the AM on weekends because of their archaic tee time system but it is what it is.
