Detailed description of Ballyowen Golf Club

The course calls itself a "modified links-style," They have sheep and hire bagpipers to sell the idea that it's a links course. The sheeep may help a little with the rough, but in truth, the course is well manicured with great greens.

About the worst warm-up driving range facility I've ever seen. For a course that likes to call itself best in NJ, it's nowhere near a first class facility.

Only negative is that it is a "cart path only" course exclusively. Makes for a long round, and the aggravations that come with walking back and forth to cart. However, it's another reason the course is in excellent condition.

very nice, a real pleasure to look at and play. they should let you drive some of the fairways to speed up play.

One of the best in the state. Just about every hole makes you think; the variety of challenges is unmatched. And for all its fearsome reputation, you can definitely score if you keep your drive in the fairway.
