+ Good tee signs and baskets
+ The tees are spots in the grass, but they work fine
+ A fun place for a quick round when you can't make it out to a full course

- As others have noted, the tree branches are really low on a few holes. Some of the holes accommodate rollers (BH or FH) as a way to compensate
- The sign for 5 in missing
- 6 is a bit of an odd hole because you're teeing off with a 4' chain link fence about 10 feet in front of you. It covers the corner of a ball field, and it wasn't there when the course was originally laid out. The challenge is that the best line to the elevated basket is low and straight because of overhanging branches - but the fence limits how low you can throw. It's not impossible - it's just a sort of unnatural obstacle
- The sign for hole 7 is wrong. The basket has been moved to the patch of tress almost straight out ahead of the trees. Look for it. I'm really surprised by the oversight of leaving an inaccurate sign in place
- The new layout for hole 7 is straight across a field with a large stage (a portable stage with walls and roof. I imagine if you hit that sheet metal with your drive, the entire park will hear it!
- Don't try to play when there are park activities like concerts, ball games, summer camps, etc. Most of the finishing holes will be unplayable because of these activities

- I was left with a feeling that the disc golf course was established and then never looked after. Missing/inaccurate signs, new obstacles, no pruning of trees to keep throwing lines, etc.
- I usually find 9 holers in parks like these are good places to introduce new players to the game (I'm thinking of Brielle, Harry Dunham, Freehold HS, Chimney Rock). I would not recommend Manalapan for new players though, just because you have to consider throwing rollers, working around park obstacles, etc. If you're a seasoned player and you just want to throw on a course for a while, this fits the bill fine. And it's fun in it's own quirky way...

The course is maintained, playable, and easy to navigate. Great for newer players as the distances are short and it's highly unlikely you'll lose any discs. Great for practicing height control and aim as there are an abundance of trees throughout the course.

Hole 7 is unplayable while games are going on which is quite often but you can play 8 or 9 twice to make it up. Hole 7 sign is wrong as the basket has been moved to the left and across the path. Just visible behind the corner of the football field. The sign is missing for 5.

Great for practicing controlled approaches and putts. The only 2 holes over 300 ft are either not playable most of the time or you can't get that distance under the trees without a roller anyway. Giving it a 2* rating because it's nothing special but it's still fun.

Nice short 9 hole course. It is a good place to learn to play and a fun place to stop by if you're in the area. All 9 baskets are now there, but the sign for the 7th basket is wrong. It is now over towards the 8th basket past the end of the football field.

Trees create a canopy on a couple of the holes, requiring you to keep your disc low to get through.

As others have noted, if the fields are being used for soccer/football/etc, the course would become unplayable.

If you live in the area and want to kill a little time, it can be a fun place to go. I wouldn't travel much of a distance to play the course, but who can argue with a short course 10 minutes from your house.

Course has potential to be a solid beginners course. Hole 2 is a decent distance hole and hole 6 features an elevated basket on top of a small hill. Holes 3 & 4 aren't terribly long but one must successfully navigate trees and shrubery to get good putt position. Manalapan Rec. Center is used extensively for all sorts of activities and is thus well maintained.

Not really a course for the advanced player. Holes around the soccer fields remain very, very wet days after heavy rain. A picnic pavilion, pedestrian traffic and soccer games can all affect play on any given day and the course is basically unplayable from 8-4 on summer camp days.

The Manalapan Rec. Dept. finally got its act together (after more than a year) and reinstalled basket #7. They also fixed the sign to hole #8 and replanted the tee pole for hole #9. As with many municipal park courses, this one gets repetitive after awhile, though it is a good practice course and worthwhile for a few casual rounds.

Very Well-Maintained field, great equipment utilized for the course and it was very clear where each tee and basket was.

Hole 7's Basket was pulled out of the ground and Hole 9 had no tee

This is definitely a course i will return to because it was small but the obstacles were reasonable for it's size. From what I understand, one of the workers told me that they were gonna move 8 and 9 around for the new pavilion, but I just used 9 at the end for some putting practice. I would say that this is a nice place to bring people that know nothing about the sport because of how short it is, but offers a glimpse into every aspect of the Disc Golf world.
