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.

Disappointed by Sudden Charge for Monitor Screen at Old Tappan Golf Range Review Text: I’ve been coming to Old Tappan Golf Range regularly and have always appreciated the facility. However, I was quite disappointed during my most recent visit. The monitor screen that displays ball flight data — which had always been available for free — is now suddenly being charged at $2.50 per use, without any prior notice or clear signage. This feature is a key part of practice for many golfers, and it feels unfair to make it a paid feature without properly informing users in advance. I’m not against paying for value-added services, but transparency and communication are essential. I hope management reconsiders this approach and provides clear updates in the future. It’s a small fee, but the way it was introduced left a very negative impression.

I have to agree with the most recent post prior to ours. Not a good place to play for non members… I rarely leave reviews, and when I do they are almost always positive. I had a very nice call when booking for 3 people; however, at the same time, the ranger was rude and felt like he was doing his best to make sure we did not enjoy our time. We played just over a 2 hour round (9 holes) and he rushed us on nearly every hole. If he was not rushing us, he had a chirpy comment (“slowing us down” even more). Tried pretty hard to be nice to the guy too.. but again, when we play a 2 hour round and the commentary is relentless, spend your money elsewhere. The course was ok- nothing special for the price or the attitude.. They clearly do not want to earn new or recurring customers.
