Roll Call: Morris/Essex County NJ

any idea if they are doing member cards or something for discount rates this year? Think I remember seeing prices a bit high for town owned public a few months ago (could be wrong/confused)

It’s definitely more expensive than Byrne which is right down Northfield, but i have a feeling that it’s like @CMPTosh said, the allure of it being one year off of “private” conditions drew people to it. If they got 20k rounds at that price, i don’t see it changing anytime soon.

Agreed. I expect the rates (and play #s) will be similar/same as this past season. Here are their rates, including season passes:

2020 Season Pass (March 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020) Rate Cart Fee
Single Adult $3,900 $17
Family (Adult + Household Dependents) $5,400 $17
Half Season Single Adult (July 2019 – Dec 31, 2019) $2,195 $17
Annual Cart Fee Plan $750
Annual Cart Fee Family Add-on (per person) $750

Need 45 rounds to break even on that annual cart fee plan…

That’s unlimited play rages?

I’d assumed that the $3,900 bought you unlimited golf, with the cart fee being paid on top of that for each round. Their winter rates are posted right now, but I think the non-twilight weekend rate was $75-80 last season, so yeah, you’re somewhere around 45-50 rounds to break even for just the pass. It’s actually more rounds though, because you’ll need to play some mid-week golf which is somewhat less/round.

Unfortunately, there’s no way I can get out that much, personally.

Even if i played 50 rounds in a year, i wouldn’t want them all to be at the same track.

Anyone know what they’re doing to it?

Weird… thats off the side of 8 green next to cart path. I guess you could add a bunker there? Not sure what else they could be doing.

Hopefully
Not adding a cart path

Might just be some turf repair? Seems like a pointless spot to put money into though

Golf courses do dumb things

Looks like drainage and sod work

My guess is sod and drainage repair. You can’t change the weather… but they started having some noticeable water issues towards the end of the summer/beginning of fall. I know that one spot off of 9 fairway just past the bunker on the right… shit was a legit swamp.

Then don’t hit it there

-GUI who’s hit it there

It seems you already know how this gui discovered said swamp.

I replied to their IG post…it’s drainage improvement around 8th (I think) green
