Scotch Hills Golf Course

Used to play here all the time while it was still run by the town. Once the town sold it and the new management came in, we haven't been back since because we used to play 18 with just paying the greens fees for the day, sometimes even 27. Unless its changed, you can only play 9 with the new management. Other than that, its a lovely course. Not too easy but not difficult either. And dont worry about the industrial buildings and cars driving by as you play. Once you start, you almost forget its there.

It wan an honor and pleasure to host our golf fundraiser at the Shady Rest Country Club and Scotch Hills Golf Course. We got rained out originally. Everyone was working together to reorganize and carry forth. There were reports of agitation coming from the rental office which is managed by Kemper Sports and is separate from the club house. Shady Rest is the first African American owned course in the U.S. It is now owned and operated by Scotch Plains recreation department. Renting can be challenging but you have to keep calling and the point person who is very friendly and accommodating will gu…

The National Forum for Black Public Administrators New Jersey Chapter (NFBPA-NJ) held their first annual golf outing at Shady Rest Golf and Country Club. The staff at the clubhouse is very friendly and accommodating. This is a nine hole golf course and there are no cart paths. It was a lovely day. Thanks for making our event a success.

Always a great time. I have been to several events here. I love the history they have posted throughout the building. It has off street parking and the event space is large enough to hold a nice size event.

I've only golfed here once or twice and I thought it was really nice. Mini golf is always fun too. Staff was friendly, course itself was decent. Also, the Scotch Plains fireworks are held here for the 4th of July, and its totally worth stopping by. Great atmosphere with music, beach balls, and a packed lawn.

Interesting historocal building with great significance as this was the nationa first Black golf club. Lots of famous musicians performed there.

Went there for a seminar, this is the 1st black golf courses in NJ. It was a golf course, night club, meeting place, tennis club for blacks. They are in the green book. The is a golf course, really nice, stop by Ann's check out the history.

Clubhouse is filled with history and has plenty of space for holding events. Looking forward to coming back to play the course and will update my review.

For a 9- hole course this is lovely. Well manicured. Nice place to work on your game.

I think it's a fun and challenging course, hilly and some surprising holes.

I highly recommend this venue space. I had the great fortune of planning and enjoying myself at a private social event here this past August. The venue is beautiful. Mr. Gary was awesome. He attended to all of our needs. Him being there added to the experience. Please take the time to call beforehand, visit the museum, and consider this place for your event.

There were no tee times online. I tried my luck by calling and Greg was so nice and told me get there quick and he’d get me on. He explained all the benefits of membership and made my first experience so great. I can’t wait to come back. Ignore the bad reviews. You can’t please all the people all the time. It is a great little course with a challenging layout of steep hills, blind spots, tight fairways, and small greens.
