Colts Neck Golf Club
About
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.

Vert slow play
The group in front of us were playing slow when we caugth up with them on the 6 hole. The golf cart gps kept telling us we were 20 minutes behind and we were behind because of the group in front of us. We never got in position to play thru nor did the group let us play thru. When we got to the 12th tee the group in front hadn't teed off yet. There was no one on the holes in front of them. That would be 13-17. A ranger came by and I told him about the slow play. He just sped off not saying a word. There was a big storm coming so we stopped play after 13 holes. If the group had played at the required pace we would have easily finished our round.
Fun Course, Prepare to Wait in Every shot
There is a lot to like about Colts Neck GC. The staff is great, the course is in decent shape, and it’s get able to put up a score.
Biggest issues:
pace of play is almost always slow.
No use of inside facilities. Locker room is closed to nonmembers & the bar/restaurant off limits to nonmembers. Saw the cart girl on course on the 2nd hole then she disappeared so prepare to bring your own snacks & Gatorade .
Not the old Colts neck
Course was in need of upgrading. Greens were burned and poorly maintained. Tea boxes as well had overgrowth. Overall condition of the course was not conducive for a private club. All of the local county courses a far superior to this course. It is a real shame how much discourse has deteriorated
Enjoyable
Nice views, well shaded fir summer rounds, well worth a visit. Not overly challenging but certainly not easy, great place for a mid handicap player.
Bunkers are well maintained, no hard pack sand. Greens are receptive but need attention by players who refuse to clean ball marks.
Tip for staff….put sand on all carts so players can fill their divots!
Overall great choice and will definitely play here again.
Golf at the Shore
There are several golf courses in Monmouth County that any golfer should not pass up. Check out the Monmouth County Park System and be sure to play Colts Neck Golf Club.
Not worth the cost
Not worth the cost. Conditions of tee boxes, rough. Condition of greens, slow. Staff strick on policy. Carts have GPS but have too many commercials that become annoying distractions. Probably ok for members.
Overall a Good course.
Course in good shape. Staff were great.
Pace could have been better. No ranger & for a Hot day No beverage cart service. Gatorade would have been welcomed.
Nice course
This course is nice to play. It is a little short only playing 6300 yards. I was surprised the greens were not in great shape. Being June they still all had their aerate holes on all greens. Kind of annoying putting on them. Usually that’s clear by May. Other than that the tee boxes and fairways were in good shape.
Alex
Course was in very poor shape and not worth the high price per
no notice of aerated greens
if you are paying $125 person to play then the course should let you know BEFORE you pay that the green have been aerated.
Wouldn’t play again
Booked this course for 4 people at $320 they charged me $480 when I got there and said they had a price increase the day before. Wouldn’t serve drinks to non members, some of the staff was rude
