Rutgers Golf Course — Local services in Piscataway Township

The course is immaculate in all aspects for a public course. Cheap. Fast smooth greens, trees, wildlife, rangers and pace of play is strictly enforce which you gotta love. It has a private club aesthetic to it but with that public feel. The hole signs and clubhouse and bar is as authentic as it gets. Being able to have a drink and watch people come up 9 green and 18 is awesome. All the workers, students workers, grounds crew does an excellent job and works hard. The agriculture here and planning and constant work on the course is 10/10 can’t beat. The only improvement they need is soon bunkers will have to be renovated or add sand. And highly recommend Belgian blocks or some type or curbing around the green. That way carts can’t drive up close and the very few dirt patches this course has would be able to grow grass. Their aeration system is top notch and it’s amazing how they are able to keep all the trees and keep the greens and fairways lush. No matter what, you’re gonna have a good time here. RU golf course is as jersey as it gets. Great walking track too. If this place could get more money pumped into it. It would be a top 5 public course in jersey. Playing a course like this steers me away from ever joining a private...

Awful. Played 9 holes and had a great time but afterwords the workers told us we were too far behind the pace and can’t bring amateurs to play golf there. Barely anyone was in the course waiting on us and the 1 group that was, we let them play through as soon as they caught up. We also finished 9 holes in 2:15 hours which was about 15 min behind the expected pace (granted we had also spent time waiting on a group in front of us too). How is someone meant to be good at golf if they can’t learn on a course? Overall felt the staff was very rude but the course was beautiful and fun to play on. Would recommend another course regardless of the price.

I also intended to be a spectator which I understand was communicated that was prohibited so I was willing to play if needed, which they insisted on. Considering all of this the fact that they still continued to critique my skills is insulting to a...

I finally got to play this public gem of a course. My round had the usual high and lows of a shaky 15 handicap golfer but I was really surprised at the unique design of this course. A nice mix of short Par 4’s and gettable Par 5’s. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great condition. Some of the greens are small and diabolical with extreme slope and crazy contours. The green on 10 will humble anyone if your approach is on the back of the green like mine was. The green on 12, a tough Par 5, is also very difficult. They take pace of play seriously so be ready to play extreme ready golf. Also, there’s OB on several holes that you wouldn’t think would be there. Lastly, the entire staff is so friendly and professional even after I finished playing. Can’t wait to...
