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.

Review Martha Edelman

I very much enjoyed playing the course. It had a good mix of challenging longer holes from the Ladies' tees and also some short par 3 & 4's. The course was in great shape, including the greens. They were fast but rolled true. Would play this course again in a heartbeat.

Horrible

I played this course years ago and it was decent. Now it’s absolutely awful and the staff is nasty. They obviously don’t care, either.

Course is ok Club house staff rude

Club house charged me $20 more than my confirmed golf now price. Showed him my receipt from golf now and he could care less.

$52 for a cart is outrageous.

Course has a great lay out and maybe earlier in the year was nice. A lot of crab grass. When there weren’t bare spots the grass was great. Tee boxes in good shape on most holes.

Greens were fast but fair.

No social distancing rules no masks anywhere.

Glad I played and would have been worth it at the golf now price. Oh right. That is irrelevant. They seem to charge what they want.

Unpleasantly surprised

Conditions of greens were horrendous. Course layout very weird. Many better values on GN. Local county courses blow this course away.

Colts Neck - too little for the money

The course is in atrocious shape. Greens are badly dressed with lots of wheat grass is in bare spots . Fairways are heavily infected with weeds. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating however this course and its conditions are not worth the current rates.

Disappointed

Many fairways & greens have dead grasses or are bare. While it’s semi private, there were hundreds of un repaired divots & ball marks. I will not go back to play this course this season! Very disappointed. Too bad because it’s not a bad layout.

Don't do it unless you're a member

45 with a cart on golf now. Then charged an extra $20 when we get there. That's strike one. Course condition was eh at best. Not worth $65. Then told I couldn't bring water or Gatorade on the course. I understand alcohol but that is completely ridiculous.....fine they must have multiple carts going around? No they had one. We saw it twice in 5 hours, couldn't care less if I had my own cold water in a cooler but obviously I didn't. That's strike 2. But to top it off non members are not allowed to purchase alcohol that's strike 3. Do not advertise on golf now, if you are going to then overcharge what someone booked and not allow them the same treatment as member. Be wary.

A decent course that's worth playing.

I had played here years ago, but had not played recently. The course was in generally good condition and although it is not very long, it is tight and requires good control of drives and irons. The greens were very fast, and it was hard to hold an approach on the green without a lot of spin. The bunkers were in good condition. Overall, a worthwhile experience. It's about 10 minutes off the parkway, and relatively easy to get to. A few peculiar issues, they don't sell beer to anyone who isn't a member. Otherwise enjoyable if you can get a decent deal for the course.

Good could be Better

There were numerous tee boxes all chewed up and there seems to be no available grass/dirt containers to fill in divots.

Some of the greens seem to be like the moon with numerous craters that none of the players seem to fix.

With the greens in that condition the place is not worth the price you pay.

The staff was nice and friendly
