Shoots in the 80s
Ditto Ken's review below. My review can be summed up in one word - "Overrated". Somewhat boring layout. Range is a joke. Rangering is overbearing. Goofy pin placements. On back nine had rangers hassling from 10 thru 17. The group two ahead of us was moved from the 10th tee to 11th as they had the 11th tee open when they arrived at 10. Therefore all the other groups behind them were pushed the entire back nine to make up for the gap. All this and I had to drive 2 hours to get there and spend $125 to play it. This is a theme course, they do well on the theme but forgot about the course. |

This course was in great shape for the middle of the summer. the greens were very good, and tees were perfect. We had no problem w/ the rangers as others did. The course played easy that day with almost no wind, and the layout seemed a lttle dull on some holes. If you keep it out of the waist high rough as i was lucky enough to do on all but one hole, the course plays quite easy. Customer Service Great starter, service. (didn''t get a caddie) Similar Products Used: the driving range gives you no bearing on how long or accurately you are hitting because it is off a "cliff". |

Just played in a golf outing and was blown away by the layout. Only 3 years old and was named the top public course in NJ, now I know why. Bring plenty of sunscreen and balls as there is not but 5 trees on the course and no shade. Cannot wait to play it again. If you are looking for a course comparable to the Legends in Myrtle Beach, then you don't have to travel as far. Top notch all the way, with bagpipes at the end of the day brings a tear to eyes. Greens were spectacular, no carts on fairways, so keep it in play. Customer Service The staff was there to make sure you were enjoying your round and when you were hitting blind greens. Similar Products Used: Nice range, great piny of Murphy's Stout. |

This is a highly overated facility in my opinion. For the price, $125, I expect a lot more. That you get only $5 off the price if you take a caddy (independent contractors and not part of the course finances) I found to be foolish and indicative of the principal objective, which is to make money, leaving player enjoyment for another positioin. As for the course itself, nothing special. It is an OK layout, not very hard or interesting. The greens are huge, but not very interesting. They had spiked the fairways the day I played so it was hard to play the ball down, and hard to rate the condition of the fairways. The course does seem well maintained. The range is poor, as you are hitting off a precipice and have little idea how far or accurate your shots are. Customer Service We did register our feelings about the rangering and one offensive ranger, and were told he would be spoken with. Similar Products Used: None |

One of the best golf courses in the tri-state. Well maintained everywhere including the club house. It sort reminds me courses you could see in the southern CA. If you think you are a golf junky looking for challenges, you ought to be there. Similar Products Used: Great views from the restaurant |
