Gentleman behind the counter and the starter are potentially the nicest people I have ever encountered. I play often, but have just started making the trek out to Cranbury. I brought my girlfriend and they let her ride along for like $10. Love these guys. Course is about average for a muni, greens are slick and challenging and there's some par threes that look like they've been airlifted from augusta, but this is a great course. read more

Cranbury golf club is a wonderful track. The facility has a bar, grill, range and a small practice green. The course is in excellent shape, greens are rolled nicely and the tee boxes are I. Fair shape. If there is one knock on the course, it is the cart paths. The cart paths are in bad shape and need to be repaved. The pace on this Sunday morning was quick, under four hours for a foursome. I will not hesitate to come back. Check out golf now for a good price. read more

Cranbury Golf Club - #8 - Golf Near Me - West Windsor, New Jersey

I love Cranbury golf club! Everyone is so friendly and the prices are very competitive. I've played here I would say at least 30 times. A group of 20 somethings can often be snubbed on the course (they think were gonna dick around). But not at Cranbury we were always treated nicely. They have "Thrilling Thursdays" $40 gets you 18 holes, cart and lunch after. The restaurant is such a cool hang out. The condition of the course I would give maybe 3.5 stars but its not to difficult not to expensive and the vibe from the staff is great so I think it is an all around winner. read more

Had a 6:04 tee time on a weekday and the pro shop didn't open until 6:10. Further, no coffee or food served until 9am! Hello - golfers start golfing at sunrise. We like coffee and food in the morning...we'd like to hit some balls before a round. Course was in decent shape although the tee boxes needed some care. Mowers and blowers followed us for a couple of holes which was extremely annoying. It's obvious that this course is struggling in every facet of the game. read more

here is my view, being a member for a few years. Pros: Fairly challenging course, nice layout, good proximity to Windsors, Princeton, Brunswick etc. Greens are hard to read. Nice par-3 holes - long and challenging. small greens, tight fairways etc. Competitive pricing. Cons: I can deal with crappy sand traps, marsh with loads of mosquitoes around holes 12, 13 in summer, green with all leaves in fall for several days without being blown away, not having water in hot spring days and so on. Biggest issue is CROWD. Please note that I am NOT referring to a busy course. I am talking about a place where it is hard to find a parking spot on weekend afternoons and weekday evenings. This place is this is like a busy train station. Trains (foursomes) leave first tee every 5 minutes(generally 8 minutes in tee sheet) on weekends. Tee times are not honored. There is nothing less than a 5 hour round for such a short course in weekend afternoons. On weekday evenings this place is a joke with so called leagues and outings. Often you see groups of beginners taking 12 to 15 shots in a hole. No body to regulate the players. There are many types of memberships, ranging from 900$ to 1.6K/year. In two weeks you will realize that there is a reason why this place is cheap. On weekends, it is a 5+ hour rounds, invariably waiting for every single shot. In some days there are multiple leagues. It has been frustrating to see groups in which all four of them do not take off the tee, and still religiously trying to track scores. It is not like a real private course where you don't need a ranger to shepherd the herd. These are people who spend 25 minutes in a par-3 hole, and still taking second and third balls practicing when people behind are waiting to tee off. Events - This is an events head quarters. period. And the course is closed till dusk. Even as a member there are no notification systems. So, you end up going there to find out you can not tee off until it gets almost dark. Oh, almost forgot about the range. Evenings, there is an army in the range. And, many days the range is blocked for their classes for many of the town recreation events and kids classes. only sometimes they are loud. And number of times, the pro shop will run out of balls / buckets. So, you need to stand in the range booth and shout, "Bobby, I need balls' - And often times you will see West Windsor South school bus - so, front 9 is blocked for the school in addition to the events, leagues etc The General manager is very nice. She does what she needs to do. But, the place can only handle so much people. If the management wants to focus on events and leagues - fair enough. What privilege do members get? What justifies the 1.6K annual dues, if they are blocked off for most of the time when we can play, like the weekend afternoons and weekday evenings? In a nutshell, it is a decent course - but they need to pay attention to addressing this CROWD issue. One last aspect before I break off - This membership is cheap - do not get me wrong. But, this is not value that you get. Cheap is not always value. Welcome comments from other members who feel the same or otherwise. May 18th Sunday experience. I went there around 3 pm with the hope afternoon mad rush would be over. To my surprise, there was an event hosted by Robert wood Johnson. So, the tee sheet is closed till 6 pm. Sorry, but why run an event on Sunday in a private, (OK, semi-private) course where people pay membership dues? I was not too thrilled to wait till dusk at range and play. So headed out. Just another disappointing day read more

This fairways were well kept but the rough was high and we easily lost balls that landed less than 10 ft off the fairway. I was amazed how many balls were lost and the number of random lost balls we found while searching for ours. The driving range was definitely below par. The mats were slightly beat up and worn out. Plus there was no practice tee to hit off. The putting green is basic as to be expected. We did not see a chipping area, which would have been nice. Decent overall course but it's definitely gone downhill in the last few years and I don't think it's worth the high cost anymore. We paid $61 for a weekend morning tee time and another $17 for a cart. read more

The golf course was average for the area. Most tee boxes and fairways are in good shape. The greens are really small and on many holes if you are off the green you might be chipping from dirt patches. The sand traps are the worst. They are hard and many have large stones scattering the surface of the traps. My displeasure is more around the staff and course management. We showed up an hour before our 1:10 tee time but were told our tee time was 1:30. We thought we made a mistake because we had a tee time at 1:10 at another course 4 days earlier. The starter who seemed to come and go finally told us we were next off. All of a sudden a 4 some pulls up in front of us to tee off and said they were from a golf out with 3 more holes to play. The starter was no where to be found. This is when I pulled up the confirmation email for our tee time and found that it was 1:10. The pace of play was really slow for the first 4 holes and then the outing ended and it picked up but no rangers to move things along. The walk from 15 to 16 is long and across the parking lot so you can't really see 1 hole from the other. When we got to the 16 hole and a 3 some had just walked on to the course in front of us. They were moving very slow and it was apparent that we were not going to be able to finish our round due to time and a previous planned engagement. We went into talk to management (the person at the front desk) but he could care less. He said they don't have rangers and people could just walk on and use the course and they wouldn't know. They had 2 golf outings this day and they know they moved our time. A phone call, email, or txt would have been nice and I could have changed our dinner reservations so we wouldn't have had to leave early or reschedule for another day. Perhaps some sort of compensation would have been nice. Even a little bit of empathy would have been nice. He just wanted us to go away which is what we did forever. If you want to get some free golf in, try going here late in the afternoon and just walk on somewhere. Hole 16 in on the drive into the parking lot and easy access. They seem to condone it. read more

I am very surprised by the terrible reviews! (previous reviewer complains that the rough being high... but that's why it's called rough.. its never short.. try playing in a link style course.. it's much longer.) I've been going to Cranbury for many years to avoid the long (6+ hrs) rounds in Brooklyn. Though I finally moved to old dirty jersey, I still go to this course. Membership They have great deals for weekday, weekend, seniors, twilight golfers. I go there a lot in the summer for twilight rounds to avoid the heat plus you save lots of money playing after 1pm. I recommend getting their advantage card to rack up those points to get few rounds or free golf carts. The Bog Restaurant I love the bog.. they have great food (yes, real food not just hot dogs and burgers). My favorite is the tuna wrap.. It's so good! The staff is attentive. Practice Range They could do a little better in this area. Their matt are slightly beat up but it's still usable. If you are a long hitter, you can't use your driver but who cares, you are just there to loosen up, right? The COURSE It's a short narrow course so you need to play smart. The tall trees and off-fairway bunkers make the course more challenging as well as the small greens. The greens are always cut and don't be deceived if you need to hit harder because you might just putt your ball off the green. I had a golf outing for my birthday few years ago and it went smoothly. I coordinated everything with Colleen who is the GM. The staff was very organized from the time we checked in, till we ended the outing. Overall, everyone had a great time and it was not expensive! read more

Great staff clean, polite and professional! Recommended for good golf and spirits! Greens were in great shape!

I really liked this course. The staff was exceptionally polite and Friendly - it really made an impression on me. We got a great deal on the greens fees and had a very enjoyable round. I was very pleased and thought it was a very good value for the money. I will be back! read more

Played a round here and the fairways were in horrible condition. Lots of bare dirt/mud. Had to move the ball to a lone weed just to get a shot. Layout of course is nice and they have good deals if you book tee time on line and the staff is SUPER nice and friendly. Ate in the grill enjoyed a couple of ice cold Kona beers and a delicious burger. Hope they get the fairways fixed for next year. read more

I've played two outings at this course. Last year it was great, this year not so much. Their website brags of new green side bunkers, but apparently they don't bother cutting the edges. A couple of minutes with a shovel at each green and it's fixed. But apparently they like to leave them ragged. The on course drink service was OK, up until the cart girl decided to have a conniption over us having a shot from my buddy's bag to celebrate his birthday. This was after our lowest tip for her was $10. Then she had to go get her boss to come bitch and complain, even after we had complied with her demands. Sorry, we are grown adults here. You told us once, we gracefully complied, so then you have to lecture us? Sorry, I can get bad service at a lot of other course. Add this to a course that's starting to look run down, I won't be coming back next year. read more

Friendly staff, decent course (not overly challenging) fairly well maintained fairways and greens. Unfortunately, that maintenance is done while golfers are trying to actually play a round of GOLF! The last two times I went ( week apart) we had the guy cutting grass in front of us on just about each and every hole, which would have been fine if the jerk actually pulled off to the side and waited for us to tee off. It's not like they don't see you there as he turned the lawnmower toward us each time and just kept on cutting while making us wait and having those behind us to start bottle necking. Last time it was both the guy who was fertilizing and another who was cutting new holes on the greens. Again, each and every one of these groundskeepers saw us there and knew we were waiting but ignored us. Next time I go there, and make no mistake about this, if they are in front of me, see me and refuse to move, I am teeing off and I am going to aim right for them!!! So either move or risk getting a concussion! With luck, they have good medical benefits for their employees. read more

So this course gets 3 stars from me but I have some issues. There wasn't a practice putting green. This is a must, I think it was just under repair but it stinks. I really enjoyed this course. It's a fun and easy walk and a challenging enough place with some tiny and interesting greens. It's in good shape except for some bunkers with crazy foot prints but that's the selfish morons that played before us not the course. The only real issue is the hole diagrams on the scorecard and tee boxes. It's like they took them from some other course. There's no creek in the middle of the fairway on 1 like the diagram shows, nor is there water 2/3 of the way down the fairway on 3 (like the pic) but there is a bunker in the middle of the fairway at 305 that isn't on the pic and you can't see it from the tee, thanks for that guys! 15 bugged me the worst though, the pic has bunkers L/R of the fairway and the pic shows a pretty straight hole with a left turn just shy of the green, wrong, the bunkers are the turn at 230-250. Thanks again. I complain, but it's really a good course that offers a good challenge and nice enough conditions but whoever did the hole diagrams is more of an abstract artist. read more

I'm surprised to see sub-par reviews on this course. For the price, this is among the best courses in the area. It is a pretty tight course (not a lot of "bomb's away" holes) that I find challenging. The grounds have always been in good shape when I played and the people who work there have always been polite and courteous to me. On one occasion the manager, Colleen, came over to introduce herself and ask my playing partner and I about our experience. She was a very nice woman. I'd recommend this course. read more

Had a great time playing this course. Well maintained, open and the greens were kept pretty nice. Overall a fun easy course.

Cranbury Golf Club is a nicely kept course with challenging holes that offer variety. Personnel is friendly & helpful - especially Scot Famous - a pro there. We had a great time riding "The Golf Boards" & I recommend it to anyone that wants to have a new experience. It's easy to master with the video & their short tutorial. (I'm a senior & I could do it) Have fun & try it! read more

The staff couldn't have been friendlier and more accommodating. The course on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. Unimaginative layout, somewhat poorly maintained and just has no character. I'll give it a little bit of a pass because we played in December but it's not close to being worth the money. Won't be back. read more
