East Orange Golf Course was a very nice public course

The course was enjoyable. Holes weren't too long, for the most part. We were paired with another twosome - made for a very nice afternoon. No complaints. Restaurant on the property is fantastic....a gem. Definitely a surprise.

Better than last fall but.......

At least the greens now have grass on them compared to last summer/fall but some of the tee boxes and fairways were getting pretty dry and I'm afraid you might lose them. Please water the course and maintain it better than last year. I want to keep playing here.

Worth the twilight discount

Course is pretty short. A lot of geese and their droppings on some of the holes. Green speed was inconsistent but generally slow, as would be expected. Overall, decent for the money.

Don’t play here

Horrible place. I booked for a tee time here at golf now for 18 holes and cart included for $46. When I got there they charged me $15 extra for a cart. I told him I booked with cart for $46 so why am I being charged additional as what is advertised in golfnow. He said thats a mistake and they didnt want to honor what it said in golfnow. This is so ridiculous and end up paying $61. The course is very slow play and no ranger to speed it up. The green condition is horrible. The grass on the green are very thick and it’s not getting a true roll. Never playing here again!

Terrible course would never go back

Course had no starter and led to so much congestion. I heard some golfers say it took them 3 hours to golf the front 9. They gave up and left. The staff was rude and I asked to fill up my water and they directed me to a hose on the side of the building. It seemed like everyone who worked there was bored and irritated. Definitely the worst experience I’ve ever had

Slow pace

There were 5 groups on the par 5 9th hole. One on the green. One in the fairway waiting on their approach shots. Another in the fairway waiting to hit their 2nd shot. Us on the tee waiting and the group that came off the 8th waiting behind us. I have never seen anything like that in over 40 yrs of playing golf. I found no explanation for it. It was a Monday afternoon. I do love this course to practice on though, but sometimes the pace is just terrible and there is never a ranger keeping things flowing.
