Many New Jersey golfers search for semi-private golf courses because they want better conditions and easier tee times than a busy public course, without a big commitment. Bella Vista Country Club in Marlboro is a private club, not a semi-private course, but it offers paths that give golfers a similar low-commitment way in.
Semi-private vs private, in short
A semi-private course sells memberships and also takes public tee times. A private club like Bella Vista is played by members and their guests. If you want the full definition, read what a semi-private golf course is.
