Description: Although this is relatively short, it’s a real shotmaker’s course, built on hilly to rolling terrain. Offering tight tree-lined fairways, plenty of water and small (many elevated), well bunkered, target greens. It is marked by blind tee shots to tight landing areas, elevation changes of nearly 100 feet and Ross’ oh-so-tricky greens. It will test the skills of even the low handicappers.

Signature Hole: 6th Hole, a 475 yard par-4. One of the toughest in the state. Tee shot is out to a well bunkered fairway, then on to a difficult, elevated green. Both shots must be long and accurate if you’re looking for a par on this one.

Comments: A timeless wonder..one of the nicest in northern NJ...a real test of your shotmaking skills, you’ll use every club...always well conditioned.
