The course has been recognized as one of the "Top New Public Courses" in the state by the NJGCOA.

The course is also forgiving, with wide fairways and plenty of signs to guide players, making it suitable for average golfers. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the rangers are abundant, ensuring a good flow of play. The snack cart passing by every other hole adds to the enjoyable experience. While the course is praised for its beauty and challenge, some players have noted issues with the pace of play, with rounds sometimes taking over five hours due to a lack of ranger presence to ensure a smooth flow of play. However, recent reviews indicate that the pace of play can be great, especially during certain times like holidays. The course is well kept, with fairways mostly in good condition, though some sand traps need more sand and stones removed. Carts could also be improved by supplying fill for divots. The greens are fast and well-maintained, even after rain. The course is considered a nice challenging and forgiving place to play, with plenty of elevations and sand traps to navigate. Many players find the experience enjoyable and worth the price, despite some opinions that the $120 round is pricey.
