It is for a standing week-end tee-time position from April through September. All informational paperwork and applications for the lottery can be downloaded or picked up at the Rutgers University Golf Course. Deadline for Lottery applications is Wednesday Feb 25th, 2009 at NOON
What is the advantage to booking a tee time eight days in advance?
You have a three-day advantage over the general public. Rutgers Golf Course is extremely busy, so if you plan to play on a regular basis, it is a nice advantage to have.
Can I play golf without a reservation?
Yes, you can play without a reservation, but it is highly recommended that you make one, especially on weekends. If you are unable to make a definite reservation, we do have a walk on list in the pro shop.
General
Where do I pay my greens fees?
You pay for your greens fees at the Pro Shop, which is located across the street from the parking lot.
What are the course's hours of operation?
Weekdays we are open 6:30 a.m. until sunset, weekends 5:30 a.m. until sunset.
Is there a practice facility?
Yes, we have a 35-bay mats-only driving range with a length of 300 yards. We also have a practice green and chipping area. If you are playing that day, we allow you to use the area to warm up. Otherwise, there is a fee of $10 for 90 minutes' use. With the fee you are also given a range token good for 30 balls that you can hit on the range after you practice your short game.
What is the pace-of-play policy?
Pace of play is a priority at Rutgers University Golf Course (RUGC). In conjunction with the New Jersey Golf Association, RUGC has determined a pace of play of approximately four hours for 18 holes. With that in mind, we ask that each group keeps position in the field with the group ahead of them, not behind them.
What are the golf courses like at Rutgers University Golf Course?
The RUGC has consistently been ranked by Golf Digest as a “Best Place to Play” for public courses. It is a comfortable and fair course to play, whether walking or riding. The greens are large and always well maintained, as is the whole course. It is a challenge to both the low- as well as high-handicap players. Placement of drives often overrides distance.
What merchandise is available at the Pro Shop?
We carry Rutgers University logo clothing, golf bags, club head and putter covers, hats, golf balls and many other items. We also carry clubs, balls, and gloves by major manufacturers such as Titleist, Ping, Callaway, Wilson, and Nike.
What do I do if I lose a golf club?
If you become aware of it on the course, please ask a ranger. Otherwise, come into the Pro Shop and leave your contact information with the desk. When it is found, we will give you a call.
Can I take golf lessons?
Yes, RUGC has two teaching professionals, Jill J. Jerauld, PGA Class-A Teaching Professional and Lisa Jensen, PGA Apprentice. You can schedule a lesson by calling the Pro Shop at 732/445-2637.
