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.

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.

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!

Course was in great condition, middle tees play a little to short so would recommend the back tees for players of average length

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
