Description

Francis A. Byrne is a classic Essex County public course with a true municipal pedigree—old-school routing, traditional tree-lined framing, and a strong local-golf identity. It’s known for being tighter than many modern public courses, which puts a premium on accuracy and course management. You don’t need to be long here; you need to be in play and in the correct positions to access greens. The course is a great test of fundamentals because it punishes careless tee shots and asks you to control wedges and short irons into smaller targets. It’s also a course many golfers play often, so it has that “home track” feel where regulars know exactly where to miss and where not to. If you like authentic muni golf with real shot demands, Byrne is a strong New Jersey example.

Really nice county course. Everything was in great shape and the greens were very puttable. Appreciated the GPS device in the cart and all of the staff I encountered were very nice. Speed of play was very good for a weekday round. Pictures of the clubhouse and first tee box and chipping area. Recommend!

What a beautiful golf course the renovations that they did are phenomenal. The car paths are in excellent condition and the greens are in fantastic shape. If you get a chance, go play it the staff is great and fun to talk with.

Simply the best kept secret in New Jersey. Stunning renovation, new everything and maybe the best thing of all.. tee times every 12 minutes, not 10 so it never really gets too crowded or too slow. Between this and Hedricks and now Weequaic, Essex County gets a gold star for how they treat their golf courses and golfers.

Amazing course. Carts have touch screen gps, radios can play music, bunkers in almost every fairway makes it challenging. Lots of slope. Greens are very true, not too fast not too slow. CONS - good luck getting a tee time if you’re not a resident….

Really nice course. Just played it for the first time… not too far to get to for my son from lower Manhattan and me from central nj. Course is kept in great shape. Lots of slope and holes that you need to hit to a specific part of the green. Pace was good, staff was super friendly, and the course was challenging enough for any level player. We’ll be back here!
