This golf course is a sad story. Once an 18 hole layout, it was reduced to a 9 hole layout after a lengthy and nasty court battle between developers and homeowners resulted in 9 holes being bulldozed and turned into housing tracts. A couple of the remaining holes are a bit odd and difficult to play first time around...I'd avoid this layout.

I only played 9 holes then checked the rainy forcast, and had to stop due to massave system. Beautiful course and true greens.Pro shop very helpful and the food bar facility pulled up the forecast for me. I'd love to see the back 9, but was traveling on a golf vacation from ,NJ.
