Lush course and great grill.

I don’t know what some of these guys are looking for but I had a great time. The course was thick but some of the greens were a little bumpy. All and all a great value with my $20 hot deal price on Golf Now. Play was smooth never having to wait.

Grill was excellent with toasted buns for the burgers and super tasty steak fries. Cameron made a nice pour for my bourbon and all was good for for the after round meal.
I will be back.

Excellent conditions

The Princeton Country Club does a fine job of maintaining the course. Plenty of parking. Course wasn't too crowded and didn't have to wait for anyone in front of us. The only real complaint is the prices of the drink cart. Seven dollars for a little can of beer? Boy, they saw me coming. No more overpriced drinks for me.

Not really worth it

$15 would be a fair price to walk this course but they charge triple. There was a ladies league in front of us with a 6 hours pace(yes you read that right). Thankfully they stopped after 9 holes. The course is very patchy, lots of crab grass, lots of bare dirt spots, hardly any sand in the traps. Layout is good and this place has a lot of potential but it was probably the worst condition I’ve seen a course in in quite some time.

5 Holes were closed

Be aware that if you book 18 holes through golfnow, you pay full price however only 13 holes are open, this is unacceptable.

Five holes closed.

Arrived at the course after prepaying using this app.
Was told 5 holes ( 13 to 17) were closed.
Not pleased, since the last time I played this CV ourse I had to contend with contractors cutting down trees on the same holes.
Avoid this course,. There are many better options in the immediate area.
