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
Solid course
I play here frequently through golf now. The course is always in great shape and pace of play is always smooth. Not a long course. A couple holes have awkward layouts. And the final hole 18 par 3 is a pretty tough finishing hole. 195 yard with water lining whole left side and fescue, water and traps to right. If your not on the green then you're usually lost.
Nice layout
Course was well maintained and the layout challenging. Very nice senic area. Cards with GPS very helpful except from tee area where most cart paths did not go back to the tee box. Minor issue however. Would love to play again.
Consistently a let down.
While the course is in better than decent shape and a fun layout, they seem to lack on attention to detail with amenities. Half way house is frequently not open, water jugs empty on the course, beverage and food cart being stocked out. For what they charge, not a good value.
Long course but fun
WE had a great time. The course wa sin great shape especially the front.
Very slow and short course
The pace of play was very slow and the layout is such that you are playing a lot of short irons. Not good if you are looking for a chance to work your medium irons.
semi private seclusion
in beautiful horse country near Jersey shore Colts Neck Golf Club is an unusual treat. A smallish plot of land and a quirky layout with a par 37 front and a par 34 back (with 4 par 3's). But yet except for 1 and 2 no fairways run next to each other. Since it is semi-private there are not a lot of rounds played and the conditioning is very good. Greens are quite fast but not overly contoured. Bunkers are well maintained and fairways are fully grassed.
Played an under 4 hr round on a Sunday teeing off at 11 am. That in itself is a miracle; worth the price. No really memorable holes until 18 which is a very difficult par 3. But nice rolling country; probably could play here without a driver; even the 5 par fives are more positioning than brute strength.
Of note though. Nine does not come back to the clubhouse and their halfway house was closed on a Sunday. There is a cart girl but if there is no member in your group you cannot buy beer. Nor can you purchase it in the clubhouse. So, if i were a Mormon i might give it 5 stars.
Beautiful
My first time at this course and I really loved playing here. Really well maintained and in tip top shape!
Course Conditions
The greens had just been air raided so they were not in good condition.
One of the best
for the value, layout , spectacular views and staff friendliness Colts Neck is a top choice every time
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
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.
