Springfield Golf Center, Mount Holly, NJ

Springfield has come a long way in the last couple years. The course is well groomed and employees are very courteous. One of the half star ratings is complaining about a chip and putt course they have on their property. This isn't in the greatest shape because people abuse it because they don't know what they are doing. Another reviewer complained about geese and their waste but that is no longer the case. I haven't seen a goose on the property in the last couple years. The rates here are fantastic. They have an early morning special that includes green fees and a cart and online specials everyday. It's not the most challenging course in the world but makes for an enjoyable round of golf.

Sorry but this has to be one of the worst courses in NJ, only reason I played here is because my brother in law took me to play as a last minute thing since it had a par 3 course so that my daughter could play also. The course is in terrible shape, most of the clientele lack golf etiquette, the folks behind the desk are idiots with some type of sense of entitlement (to what I have no idea). DO NOT PLAY HERE! Luckily it is not very expensive so the amount of money wasted was not that much, but it does not matter, your time is worth much more. We quit after 13 holes, couldn't take it any more....

Springfield is a great course to shake off the rust after a winter layoff or a place to teach a youngster how to play, but that's about it. I've read some of the other reviews and many complain about the staff. Although I didn't encounter any true problems they did make me wait 20 minutes in order to get the twilight rate. Seriously??? 20 minutes, but whatever. The course itself has a decent layout with several unique holes, some where water comes into play. However, the maintainance in general was really bad. Many more bald dirt spots on the fairway than actual grass. The geese are everywhere and so is there crap including on many greens, talk about making putting tough. The greens were fair, true and played to an average speed. Golf etiquette definately is lacking from many players at this course. The price of $22 to walk twilight weekend sounds appealing, but given its drawbacks, really is barely acceptable. It's a short course, not very difficult, but they do have logo balls for the collector like myself. Won't be back anytime soon. Overall rating C.

**As a follow-up, the owner is willing to talk to customers who have an issue and tries to work it out. The economy has hurt courses, but maybe wrokers at this course should not say false things about very very loyal customers. I spent a ton of money this summer on range balls alone while practicing. I should have recorded all of the workers and members who complained to me this year about the course and other things. Very silly..


Not all the workers are bad and some are quite friendly, but certain ones are not always nice. I was picking up range balls that the ball picker cannot get too, and the next day I was accused of taking range balls. I go there quite a bit to practice, but I am starting to rethink that. It is a shame really, as it used to be in better condition overall. The greens were in pretty decent shape most of the year, but on the slow side.

NEVER AGAIN, DON'T GOLF HERE. The greens are kept up horribly. The greens fees are through the roof, for the quality that's provided. The sad part is I was ok with this but the staff, complete jerks and I've never made a formal complaint with any company before but this is just UNFORGIVABLE. The attendant behind the counter accused me of playing more than 18 holes, called me a LIAR and seemingly expected me to pay extra because I took longer than 4 hours to play 18 holes (mind you I stopped in to get lunch after the 9th hole which took 45 mins and he was standing 15 feet from me as well as let people pass me). DON'T GOLF HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CALLED NAMES. I am APPALLED and the owner should be ashamed of this establishment! I'm telling everyone I know and posting this at every website I can find, WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SPEND MY 2011 LABOR DAY!
