Francis Byrne Golf Course

This is a very demanding course. The tree-lined fairways are narrow, and the sloped greens are fast. There is one stream that comes into play on five holes. The signature hole is #15, a 442-yard, par 4, featuring a dogleg left fairway. If you want to reserve a tee time for the weekend, you need to come out in person to sign up, plus you must be a local or state resident. Out-of-state residents can play after noon on the weekends and anytime during the weekdays.

The best public course., Jul 22, 2008

reviewer: Jingo Bingo from West Orange, NJ

One of the well maintained public golf courses and a fairly challenging course. The greens are really fast and the course is very picturesque. There is lot of people on the weekends and hence having a tee-time reservation will be very handy to avoid lengthy waiting. There is also good practise putting and chipping areas. The only disadvantage is that there is no driving range close-by so it takes couple of holes to warm up and there is only one par 5 hole. Friendly staff and reasonable price (much cheaper than the courses at Edison Counties).

For Essex county not bad., Apr 14, 2008

reviewer: Joey from Verona, NJ

Well I don't know who can get on for twenty dollars or under. But walking without a county card you are paying near 40 or over. Tee boxes are hit or miss. Usually pretty chewed up though. Greens are pretty decent. Better to go on a weekday, weekend is kind of a jungle. But, like I said, play the other courses in essex county and this seems more like a private course. If you are used to semi-private, be prepared for disappointment.

reviewer: LETS GO PRIVATE from BELLEVILLE

After playing Hendricks Field this is like Upper Montclair .How about sending some staff to Belleville & letting them improve course.
