| YES, A SHORT COURSE BUT NARROW AND CHALLENGING. ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION WAS WORTH THE WAIT. TEE ON HOLE 2 IS ONLY ITEM UNOPENED. I WAS TOLD IT WILL OPEN SEPT 1ST. PAR 3'S HAVE BEEN LENGTHENED AS WELL. PLAY THE BACK TEE'S. YOU'LL HAVE FUN. GOOD JOB STAFF! |

 Course status as of 10-04-2004, Oct 05, 2004 |
| reviewer: Mark Palmer
from Springfield, NJ USA |
| Relatively short with narrow fairways. Dial back the distance in favor of accuracy. All greens have recently been aerated and sanded which slows them from lightening to fast but they remain true. Must keep ball below the hole in order to be aggressive when putting. Greens on 12 and 14 ARE CLOSED, pro shop staff said they didn’t know. Staff was NOT TRUTHFUL or forthright when asked specifically about on-going construction. Major bunker construction on 3, 6, 12, 14, and 15 greens left with no sand, now mud pits. Large new fairway bunker under construction on 13 fairway, again no sand. Temp tees on 4 (no impact)and 15 (huge impact)making this a tough 175 yard par 3. Some people had trouble negotiating the course layout. If you’re not a member, it is very easy to get lost between greens and next tee slowing up play. Signs would help guests immensely. Tee off time was 1:00 PM and we finished at 6:30 with a wait on every shot. 5 ½ hours, is far to long for such a short relatively open course. Clubhouse was excellent but that's not why I go to GOLF courses. |

Nice Course - Not a walkover, May 14, 2004 |
| reviewer: David Levy
from NJ |
| Nice mature course, lots of challenging holes, reasonably kept, layout is a little weird, but there are some great holes including an elevatedpar three over water to an elevated green (I'd love to play that hole again), Caddies are ok, if you want a drink you can get one on the deli when you cross the street to the back holes. Enjoy |
