Old Tappan Golf Course

It appears many others have encountered the “rude ranger” here. First time playing this course and i”they were actively repairing bunkers. I encountered a heavy machine operator in a back hoe digging out a bunker, literally swinging the shovel piece over cart path so I avoided area and drove across fairway and parked on opposite side. All of a sudden the ranger comes flying up on his cart and berates me, even after I pointed out the risk. He continues raising his voice and says he will throw me off course. My foursome was absolutely stunned. For $85, I get verbally abused and play on a course under repair. I will never play here again and have told and will tell anyone to avoid at their peril. The club management has obviously seen these reviews yet they have not fired this ranger yet. Disgraceful.

It’s a lovely golf course but the way to get in and out is horrific for anybody who has any slight knee or back problems. It’s terrible. On one side they’ve got a really big incline and decline and the other set of stairs that are ridiculous.

The course marshal was extremely rude, telling us to hurry multiple times while we were already waiting for the people in front of us, literally yelling at us for making a mistake in where we parked the carts on one hole because we had never been there before. Impossible to relax and have fun. Course itself was in terrible shape as well. First and last time I'll play there. Brutal.
