Great layout, but the conditions leave a lot to be desired. The tee boxes and traps are in need of significant repair.

Able to walk and complete round in less than 3 hours. Central New Jersey is currently in the middle of a very dry spell but this short country course had mostly all the tee boxes, fairways and greens in relatively good shape.

I have played many courses in the area but this is truely one of the worst corses I have ever played. The only positive was the pace of play, because everone else must have known how bad this course was so they stayed away. I wouldn't play this course again if it was free. The first nine holes were nothing to be desired but at least they layout was bearable. The back nine has one and a half holes that can be labeled as golf holes. The rest of the back seemed to be crammed into a space that a normal course would have three holes on. You probably don't need any clubs over a seven iron for the entire back nine with the execption of the 17th hole. Bottom line is if you decide to ignore this comment then you will have a very disapointing day on the course.
