The best courses you can play in Mahwah, 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).”

“Can see right away why it’s rated the best public in NJ. Great pro shop. Course is challenging but fair. Course is always in great condition. It’s on the pricier side but well worth the money if you want to treat yourself for the day.”

“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.”

“Interesting enough course but nothing to write home about. Only pulled driver twice and still had wedges into most holes - can’t tell if that’s a feature or a bug, though we played up as the other guys were mid-to-high teens players.”

“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.”

“Interesting course but pace is slow, golf carts barely worked and half the bunkers were ground under repair”

“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.”

“Pretty good municipal golf, a handful of memorable holes and good conditioning. Greens true but on the slower side.”
