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.

Rain Shortened Round

Course was in great shape. Pace of play was good.

Unfortunately the rains came when we were on the 3rd hole. Course was very accomodating and gave me a rain check. Considering the convenient location, I'll be back.

Nice course

This is the first time playing this course since it changed from Passaic County Blue/Red. I was pretty impressed with the course condition since the change over.

Extremely slow even for twilight hours

Too many foursomes in front of us were playing multiple balls, spending 10 minutes every hole looking for every ball and goofing around. It's hard enough to get 18 in when you tee off at 4:40 and the carts are expected to be returned before 8:30. We were hoping someone would have come to control the groups in front of us but it didn't happen. We ended up having to wrap it up on #14.

Invite your friends so that they can see what this course has become.

I invited a friend from Bergen County and she was very impressed with the course and the conditions it was in. She is looking forward to playing this course again in the near future.
Pace of play was great and she even commented about how fast it felt we played. She indicated that this was just another indication of what a great day of golf we had.

Staff made a poor first impression

Other than the starter and Alexa at the restaurant, all other staff we encountered appeared to hate being there when we arrived for our rainy morning tee time. At the end of our round the restaurant staff were again great. Notable was Jordan and the lady behind the bar.

Rain or shine, the golf staff need to be more professional. Like the starter was.

Course conditions were great.
Course layout great
Would’ve been nice to have practice area open
Would’ve been good to have the beverage cart on the course
