Francis A Byrne is the best municipal golf course I have ever played. I found myself saying “wow - I love this golf course” over and over again. The greens steal the show throughout, starting with the long Biarritz on 2 (a hole I unfortunately made a mess of).

This is a post-renovation review. Although the course still needs to grow in some, the county did a tremendous job with the renovation. It’s a short and straightforward course so don’t come to be challenged. Excellent value at $60 to walk.

Over priced for what it is. Difficult course with narrow fairways. Fairways have 100s of divots that no one seems to repair. Practice area is limited to irons only and the ball machine was broken when I was there.

Skyway is one of the best munis in the NYC/NJ area, even as a 9 hole course. I like to call it the working man’s liberty national. You’ll be hard pressed to find an even lie, and despite all the play it sees the greens crew does an incredible job at upkeep.

Black Bear is a fun resort mountain style course apart of Crystal Springs. Conditions are usually good, some cool risk reward holes with elevation changes. Not a bad day.

Not a bad layout for a public, but greens were extremely slow, basically like putting on the fairway. Back nine completely underwater every time it rains. A few cool views, but not anything amazing.

One of the more over priced courses in NJ. Avoid at all cost if it rains as this place floods bad and will have multiple holes washed out. They won’t cancel tee time though and will just have you play 9 twice.

Blue White is about as Mid as public golf gets. Not much thought went into the layout. Conditions aren’t terrible for a public but the course is so boring it doesn’t matter. Green complexes are mostly flat circles. Really disappointed when I played this.

Not a bad public layout, just no thought on many of the tee shots. Most of the greens are circles and relatively flat. Greens were slow but pretty smooth overall.

Walk, the cart fee is ridiculous. Very easy par 65 course. Easy walk, easy play. Not the best shape of any course but it’s fine for a quick 18. Bunkers are weak and greens aren’t very fast. Pro shop and staff leave a lot to be desired.
