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.

Golfer Reviews
November round was OK
The walkers on the course in front of us made the round too slow. Waiting on every shot, every hole was hard. We had 3 golfers all riders and the 4 walkers not once thought about letting us thru.
Greens were excellent i assume the course in mid-summer would be kept up better ie. fairways and bunkers. Also our navigation stopped working after second hole. Not alot of yardage markers and we needed them since navi didnt work
For 23 dollars it was a great buy, paying 75-100 would not be worth it.
The slow walkers really hurt the flow of our round.
5 out of 10 - from tips we shot 88,93,102 which around our normal scores. Wanted to play this course all summer, unfortunately it did not live up to price being charged, thanksfully we had the hot deal
Bogus T time
Confirmed T time wasn't honored by the course, delayed 1 hour preventing completion of the round due to darkness...very disappointed.Course mgt blamed golf now...Buyer beware, members get priority and guests cannot be served alcohol on the course.
One of my favorites
One of my favorite courses in the area. Sometimes the pace of play can be slow on busy days but if you get to go on a slow day early/late in the season it will always be a great time. I came here for the first time back in the early 00's and still enjoy playing this course as much as I did back then. Bob is great if you need lessons and I plan on going back for some refreshers at the start of next season as well as getting my wife started in the sport. I went back the other day for the first time in 7 years since I took awhile off from playing, still the same great service and quality.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the course and amenities were very nice also.
Nice Course
Love this course. Always well kept. Greens were fast.
Surroundings are great. Staff was great. You do't get back to the clubhouse at the turn for the back nine. So keep some fluids on hand. The cart never came by.
Rather expensive . But got a hot deal ..
Long Drive
Even though I had 2 three hour commutes from Brooklyn, NY, the pace of play was awesome, 3hr round. Course layout is nice, not too difficult, great for a Sunday afternoon drive down the fairway.
FUN COURSE
If you are a decent player looking to put up a good score this is the spot. This course is not long even from the blues but what makes it fun is the layout. This is a placement/shot makers golf course. Every hole is birdiable but nothing is too easy. They do have a stretch of 3-4 holes on the backside that are fairly difficult and the finishing hole is an intimidating par 3. 9 times out of 10 the greens are soft and rolling quick. Practice green and range are average. Best thing about this course is playability, quality or fairways/greens and visual appeal from the tee box.
Great condition, nice layout
Colts neck is a very nice layout. The rough is penal but not US Open-style so you can advance your ball but still have to consider the lie. Greens were firm and running quite nicely, but I prefer fast greens. Carts have GPS with all of the latest views, etc. The starter was very friendly but he was the exception.
I did have one pretty big issue - the battery on our GPS died after 6 holes. Because the club is so reliant upon the GPS units the course isn't marked well so we struggled with distance all day. Since you don't go near the clubhouse again after the 3rd hole it was a bit of a struggle. Considering the surly nature of the staff we were reluctant to call the clubhouse and get a new cart driven out to us and then feel obligated to tip them for something we should have had all along. Also, at the end of or round the pro shop was closed so there was no one around to listen to a complaint, including the cart staff.
Other than the cart issue I'd recommend this course. Just leave your yourself enough time to play as pace of play isn't monitored. You also should bring your own drinks as there was no one driving around with beverages.
colts neck
Course was in terrific condition, but pace of play was slow. It seems when the members play in the afternoon, they like a 5-plus hour round and they don't let you play through. Also, halfway house was closed as usual and pro shop staff not too friendly if you are not a member.
Excellent Condition
Course is well maintained and staff is very friendly.
great course
Today was one of the more enjoyable rounds of the season for me. Really beautiful course with some very challenging long par 3s(my buddy stuck it to 3 feet on the 223 yard par 3 somehow). The staff was very friendly and we managed to finish in less than 4 hours which might have been in part to people staying home bc of a nasty weather forecast(it started to rain as were on the 18th tee). I felt like the course was hard but fair from the back tees. My only complaints which are both very minor would be $9 for a small bucket to warmup, and that we got lost a few times trying to find the next tee box(that might have been more on us then the course but it felt confusing at the time lol). We had lunch in the bar/restaurant area after our round and the food was great. Overall I thought this course was excellent and I will definitely be back.
