Description

Weequahic Park is a historic public course in Newark with classic municipal character and a layout that rewards fundamentals. The course has a traditional routing with tree-lined holes and strategic shapes that encourage you to keep the ball in play. It’s a great place to practice real scoring golf—hit fairways, hit greens, and you’ll have chances; miss badly and you’ll be scrambling. The vibe is authentic and community-forward, the kind of course where local regulars know the nuances and where the game feels rooted in place. Because it’s a muni, it can play tougher than the yardage suggests when conditions get firm and greens speed up. If you appreciate classic public golf with history and an honest test, Weequahic is a strong New Jersey option.

I played this recently redesigned course yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised with how much the course has improved. A lot of time and careful planning went into maximizing every square in of this small piece of land to make this golf course more enjoyable and fun for golfers and in my opinion, they succeeded. Take for example the decision to turn #3, a round killing Par 5 with OB right, and turn it into a short Par 4 and a short Par 3 to keep the round moving. It was a great idea and well executed with the heavily contoured greens. The new greens and bunkers all over the course are great. The best new hole on the course is the amazing Par 5 #16. You can tell a lot of work went into creating this hole and boy was it worth it. It turned out gorgeous. All of this did come with some compromises, the biggest being the shortening of many of the Par 4’s. I played the tips and only used driver on a small number of holes since the holes were barely 300 yards and it was just too risky. You have to be smart and conservative off the tee if you want to shoot a low score here. My biggest complaint is the ridiculous green they made on #12. The green slopes from back to front at an extreme slope, and there’s a ridge running down the middle. They decided to place the flag on the ridge making all putts next to impossible. We all 4 putted from inside of 15 feet. (Not fun) Other than that, the new course is really nice.

Enjoyed a 4-hour walk on the course — the greens are in the best condition of any public golf course in the NYC area. A relaxing pace with no pros rushing you to play faster. Truly a great course and highly recommended!

Course is completely remade with awesome approach shots. Some holes have 4-7 bunkers around them

Me and my buddy decided to check out this local course. The clubhouse was basic but welcoming. We didn’t expect a starter to be present, given our green fees were only $28 on a friday afternoon. The starter was a jolly gentleman who made me feel like family. The golf ranger did a solid job of reminding people to keep up the pace of play. My tee time was at 5:20pm, and our foursome was able to get through 9 holes. The course itself was better maintained than i had expected. Greens were in excellent shape for early April. My only complaint is that there was extremely loud music on holes 5,6,7. Will definitely come back again.

This was one of my favorite courses before the renovation, and even more so now! Probably the most fun course I've ever played. I'm not a long hitter so playing long courses is frustrating. It's nice to have to make shots without needing to use a long iron or wood all the time. Can't wait to go back and play it again!
