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.

Good and challenging course
I was pleasantly surprised to find this challenging but fair golf course. I really like the layout, it demands full focus on the tees. A lot of them requires enough carry to pass fescues and tall grasses. The layout is nice and interesting and will keep you on your toes until the end. Especially on the 18th, as it requires 230+ yards carry to green and avoid water! I played the tips (blue tees). You need a good long iron shots to play the par 3s well. I will play here again.
I booked this online for a 1;20 PM tee time for $50 for green fees and cart. The day after I booked it the course called me and said it was a mistake and we couldn't go out until 1:39, this was a concern because sundown is around 4:50 . When I got to the course they charged us $63 each which I argued about but they said to take it up with Golf Now. On the course we could not purchase alcohol because we were not members. We only got 16 holes in as it got too dark to play. Not a good experience!

I thought the course was in good condition. It was an enjoyable round. I would recommend it, to friends.
Course conditions
Considering all the recent rain the course was in good condition. Not great weather again but the course was in great shape. Despite the weather we had a great golf day. Very challenging and picturesque course.
Colts Neck Golf Club
Course was in great shape but the pace of play was slow. They had a frost delay in the morning and never really caught up.
Has Potential
This is a prime example of a course that would thrive with the right grounds team. Layout is decent and the course in solid shape overall, but the greens are absolutely atrocious. Aesthetically they look fine, but they roll like concrete. Speedy, but not in a maintained way. Overall I like the course, but the greens leave you feeling somewhat frustrated. I will say I agree with the previous post too - the tree smack dab in front of the 13th green is absurd in a bad way. If they bring back these greens and chainsaw that tree, this course could be up to par with the other local gems that surround it.
Golf lover
Course was nice not sure with all the trees lining the course that it will be that easy to find balls in the near future with all the leaves on the ground but a very nice layout with the exception of hole number 13 it makes no sense that you could hit a perfect drive right down the middle and still not have a clear approach to the green why they put trees in front of the green makes no sense they should figure out a different form of hazard to put there not that you have to fly it over the 60 foot tall tree to get to a green or punch it under it
