best in NJ 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 17, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Greystone has something for everyone. The 3 sets of tees play to a variety of abilities and are placed nicely, providing different looks for each basket. After playing this course for 2 years, there are still holes that make me question, 'What is the best way to approach this?', which I love and do not find many other places I play. Playing in the summer with full foliage is where the challenge of Greystone shines, as gaps shrink and sight-lines are more limited. Really enjoy the amount of death putts one faces here...more than half the holes have a death putt angle. Lots of water. Great mix of many up and downhill shots (hole 3 and 16 are two of the toughest uphill drives around). Recent changes to tee pad and basket positions have maximized play on select holes (pads on hole 10, basket at 14). The front and back 9 loops start & end at the parking lot, and holes 7-10 loop the main reservoir making for many options of play for any amount of time one has.

Cons:

Miss the old 17 blue tee.

Nock Jr. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 15, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Demands accuracy & placement above all else, typically with one clear line of play. Landing zones and greens are clear & defined. Perfect ratio of scoring to par holes. Elevation challenge is abundant & mixed between teeshots, ups, & putts. Water is a hazard on 8 holes, whereas manufactured OB is only on 2 holes (the open shots on 17 & 18). Plays to both FH & BH, L or R. Ample parking, with a small trashcan at the entrance for carry in/carry out. And....its Nock Jr....be prepared for standstills in the fairways & rough due to the Greystones

Cons:

The stonedust pads are ok & fit the ruggedness of the course. However, having such teepads can limit driving abilities due to unlevelness & shifting.

Other Thoughts:

Based on lines of play & hole quality, I feel Greystone plays equal to Nockamixon & Tyler. It's the gem NJ needed, and it keeps getting better.

a year of Greystone, a year of Greatness 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 3, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

*3 teepads per hole, each layout feels like a unique course
*phenomenal elevation challenges (hole 3, 7, 10, 14, & 16 are favorites)
*great placement golf. rewards accuracy and finesse.
*plays equally well for RH & LH.
*will develop your game. i am a RHBH player who had a non-existent FH game before Greystone. now, i can't imagine what my game would be like without a flip-up FH.
*placement of water hazards in relation to greens. i love the risk water adds to the 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, & 17 greens.
*teesigns on every hole (except red tees). there is also a course map for the Blue & White Tees on UDisc!
*course flow. course designers did well balancing course flow between open & wooded areas. front 9 returns to parking lot.
*aesthetics. course offers scenic views with memorable shots (hole 5 blue is an awesome top of the world drive. hole 14 is the same with a wooded vibe.)

Cons:

*the natural teepees are being resurfaced with retaining logs & fresh stonedust. when all teepees have been framed with fixtures & dusted, cons will be tough to come by for this course

Other Thoughts:

after seeing the progress of the course & club after year one, the future is bright for Greystone. the course has improved after the recent removal of trees from select fairways (notably hole 11 & 14), and is definitely coming into form. it is the perfect addition to an area much in need of courses, and will teach players the game for many years to come.
