The best courses you can play in Kenilworth, New Jersey

“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).”

“On the water so you expect some wind but this wind made it impossible to judge and I wouldnt judge a course based on this but the green were awful and did not hold when you hit them. The course is made hard for no reason takes the fun out of golf.”

“Old Bridge is a very fun new public course in Central NJ. The conditions are solid and the layout is fun. A good mix of some short and long holes with a few modern takes on some of the historic templates.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fairways are in good shape. Tee boxes are horrendous. Greens are okay, but hard. Layout is wide open here, so wind and greens are the only defenses.”

“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.”

“Short and no driving range. Good condition. Challenging in parts. Just very slow 5-5.5 hours”

“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.”

“The limited space creates tight fairways and funky designs that force you to strategize every shot. Tip: grab a tee time before 10am or you should expect a 6 hour round”
