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.

Expected better
I would rather a course close during the winter months than remain open and move their holes away from the normal greens. That's the conditions we played under there. The "greens" we did play on were horrible. Holes 1 and 2 were completely closed, so they only offered 16 holes. For the area and reputation, I expected better. To be honest, I was highly disappointed.
Off Season Conditions
While other courses I have played in the area the greens are dormant and pins are alternated between two locations, here they have temp. tee boxes and temp greens, so making an assessment on the course would not be fair. Staff was friendly and the course looks to be a winner when regulation tee boxes and greens (March 11th) are in play. Using golf now I paid $36.00/per, had I called the course and asked about the course conditions I would have opted out, my bad. Methinks the price I paid was on the high side for temp greens/tee boxes. Because it is still the off season I am not going to trash this course, I will give the benefit of the doubt and maybe try again in better days.
temporary tee box and green for all 18 holes is sucks , no pleasure to play...
Green is in excellent condition
I totally recommend this course
Fast, subtle greens
The course was in excellent condition for mid-November. Where the ball finds itself on the green is very important, as the greens are fast and have subtle contours.
Nice course
Course was more beautiful than I expected after taking a look at overhead view. A few greens are tricky and were the fastest I played this year. Noticed one of the 200+ yard par 3's might be easily extended backwards into the woods to make a par 4, turning this into a par 72 course. Felt like 6 par 3's was more than I'd like but the 5 par 5's do balance the course out fairly well. The varied layout makes for an interesting round. Try this course.
Wonderful day at the course
Greens 13 on stump meter and rolled perfect. Course in wonderful shape and played in 4 hrs with nobody in front of us.
Staff a little touchy, can't wear jeans so bring the overalls.
GOOD TEST
Good course. always enjoy playing here.
great deal
I usually play this course after September 15 when the rates drop. It is rarely overcrowded, the scenery is great and the course is always in great condition, although the greens were recently aerated.
Great course!
Great value
Course was in great condition, middle tees play a little to short so would recommend the back tees for players of average length
Very nice layout.
Love this course, good pace of play, challenging, great value for the price. Highly recommended!
Best of the Best'
I have played close to 50 different golf courses this summer and Colts neck is definitely in the top five of that group.
Short but Challenging
Had a great experience on this course.
Although the course plays short, it makes up for it with its challenges. The layout of the course made it fun and challenging both at the same time. The chances to GIR (Green in Regulation) are there, but you have to work for it.
We all found that the back nine was so much more challenging than the front, and we all agreed that the par 3s on this course were the hardest part of playing.
Not many divots on the greens which is nice and always appreciated by putters.
The ranger stopped by pretty often and asked how we were doing, how everything was going, and to have fun. You don't hear that at many courses, but a little bit of respect goes a long way.
Overall, great day. Would play there again if given an opportunity.
PS - they only serve beer to members
Nice layout
Open layout but watch out for the fescue
Greens roll nice
Staff was very friendly
great condition, excellent greens, fairways, rough
I always enjoy playing here
Day of golf
The course was in very good condition. No sauerkraut or onions for the hot dogs. Front nine went at a good pace, the back nine went so slow I was ready to take a nap by the thirteenth hole.
Too much fescue won't be back
Course was artificially toughened by the ridiculous fescue and forced 200 yard carries.
No beer except for members is an issue
Non members second class citizens too expensive 78 with the discount
Won't be back
Golf
Course is excellent. First time to play here and the layout is perfect for my game.. The greens are a bit difficult to read because of different undulations. Played with a local player. Park who is very helpful in helping me how to play each hole. Had a good deal from golf now and will surely play here again.
Solid course
Nice course and staff, condition of the course was on point when we played. Very reasonable cost as well. The back 9 in my opinion was the best. The Only downside was you could not get a mixed drink or beer from cart girl or bar do to a members only rule for Booz, so BYOB if your a drinker other an that good place to play.
