Colts Neck Golf Club is one of central New Jersey's most popular courses. The diverse course offers everything from Scottish-style bunkers to sparkling lakes. Tall golden fescue rough borders the fairways and the greens are large and undulating. The course is seemingly short at only 6,236 yards but it shouldn't be taken lightly. It's much more challenging than it appears. The layout finishes with two of its toughest holes. The 17th has a tough green fiercely guarded by out-of-bounds and the course saved the most difficult hole for last. This par 3 will test even the most seasoned golfers. In addition to the golf course, Colts Neck also has a 25-station driving range that stays open late. It's a great spot for getting in some practice after work.

New Ranger needs a new job

New ranger was rude and obnoxious. Clueless on what he was doing. Sent out 2 groups of walkers that were late and response was if you don’t like it play some where else. That’s Excatly what I plan on doing.

Needs TLC

Greens were in horrible condition. Large patches of burnt out grass everywhere. Most trees taken down. Seems like it’s being cleared for housing project.

No Starter, No Rangers

Pace was absolutely brutal. There was no starter which kicked things off with us starting 0 minutes behind pace of play. We saw people looking for balls in the cut down grass on 16. An all you can eat buffet of breakfast balls from the twosome in front of us, and a solo who refused to joi. The duo in front of him or let us play with. There was als no sign of a cart person for water, Gatorade or snacks.

After my last outing and having the greens that looked like shag carpets my buddy wanted to give it another go based on proximity. But the reality is for the price this is no longer a value with the county systems being much more on top of their game.

92$ for those greens feels very iffy. Shag carpets come to mind on top of being almost mossy

Course itself was well let otherwise and the pace was fine for a Sunday mid day.

Staff inside and with the carts was great friendly and always smiling.

I’ve played there for the price when well kept and it’s a steal this time felt the opposite

Good track, was pleasantly surprised....

I enjoyed my time at Colts Neck. i thought the design and layout were really good. A nice mix of different kinds of holes. I'm not a fan of finishing 18 holes on a par 3, but outside of that, there were some well-designed holes. The fairways were nice, and the greens were surprisingly quick, although a bit bumpy and weren't cut or rolled. Maybe because it was a Monday and maybe they were just recently arerated???? I'd go back in a heartbeat! Some holes a bit on top of one another but that is not really a big deal.

Poor Management

I like the golf course; however, the management was unacceptable. We had a 3:33pm TeeTime. We had to wait till 4pm because there were no golf carts available. Clearly this is not the fault of the golfers, but 100% to fault of the golf managment. Then, after playing a few holes there was a complete jam up at the 5th hole. It took almost 3hrs to play the front 9. Clearly, the golf course put way too many people on the course.
