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.

Always Fun

For public courses In the area, Colts Neck is probably the best conditioned and has quickest greens (private club speed). The course has a mix of different types of holes including par 3's that range from 80 to 210 yards. For the most part, you'll use every club in your bag. Always an enjoyable round. Prices are a little steep during peak season but nice deals can be had in the off season. GPS on the carts are always a plus.

Let it Heal...Then Play

Greens and fairways were healing from recent aeration so give it another week or so. Once all healed up, should be an excellent fall track. Not the longest course you will play, even from the tips, but accuracy is required. Couple of really nice long par 3s. Par 5s are most certainly getable. Definitely recommend.

Great day, enjoyable course

Pretty wide open, nothing overly challenging. I'll defiantly be back. Greens still have about 2-3weeks left to heal from aeration but overall the course condition is very nice, nicer than most after this extremely dry summer ! I didn't find any ground that was dried out as if hitting off concrete, like many public courses out there right now. In fact there were a few holes that were even a bit soggy/soft but still playable. Overall I enjoyed it very much and will be back before the season closes out.

NO NEED TO RUN BACK

This place is just OK, I play every week with a group. The layout is not very challenging, the tee boxes are weak, greens just OK. It's the kind of course you say I played it and move on. No rush to return and at $90 a round you can play anywhere.

Gotta play it

Even with the hot dry weather that is burning up courses everywhere Colts Neck is in top shape. The layout is challenging but fair. The staff is fantastic and it's a joy to play a round on their course.

Great Deal ! Course is beautiful !

Unbelievable Hot Deal for only $35 !...Course is always excellently maintained...it's nestled among million dollar homes and farmland. Most of the courses in the area are deserts...not Colts Neck...the grass was actually green lol...fairways and greens were in excellent condition ...greens are always fast and ball rolls true...pace of play is very good (they time you)...the course is what I call "golfer friendly"...I would definitely recommend this course but not at their summer prices...way too high...they have great bargains in the fall, so check their rates online...

Worthwhile

The course is a little quirky. but a nice design to it overall. The greens were true and we're in good shape the fairways were well-maintained and it excellent condition. Tthere was an attentive ranger on course who was very polite and kept things rolling along. Overall a very good experience.

Very nice course

Conditions were very good, greens were fast but fair. As a first time player there were a couple of blind shots but mostly everything was right in front of you. The course could use better signage directing you from hole to hole. And a few of the holes felt like the were right on top of each other, greens close to next tee box,, having to drive the cart back into the approach shot. All said and done I would play this course again.

Challenging and in great shape

This course is in great shape from tee to green . Though not a long course it is challenging and picturesque . The staff is friendly but not over bearing. The pace of play has be fine the last two times I've been there. Can't wait to play there again.

a premium on accuracy off the tees.

course in great condition & greens very fast despite
light rain on & off during round of 18 holes. We had
the course pretty much to ourselves. Scored a great
round from the mid tees. Shot 78, with two three putts.The 19th hole never seems to be open when
finishing a round. About the 6th time there.

Beautiful course!

Played the course on a $40 hot deal, half the normal price! Beautiful course, w quick and tricky greens to putt. Chose your club wisely on the tee box, put it in play, and there are low scores to be had here.
Two draw backs... 1. We played on a 90 degree day in June, had seen on their site NO SHORTS allowed, and called to confirm this. The person who answered said yes, that is our policy. When we show up to a course that was about 1/3 full, we were the ONLY 2 on the course without shorts on!! EXTREMELY POOR customer service Colts Neck!!
2. Their policy is you can NOT purhase any alcoholic beverages if you are not a member?!?
Colts Neck, it appears you don't want greens fees at your course. If this is the case, why be Semi Private.......

Walked

Fun Track in Central NJ

Caught a Hot Deal Price plus bonus Discount from Golf Now on a Saturday to compensate a 1 hr drive. If you can keep the ball in the fairway and hit decent iron shots, you can really score her with 5 par 5s and 6 par 3s ( less than 6300 from back tees). Fairways and greens were in great shape; greens were quick and true.
