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
Colts neck golf
Overall good experience. Very nice course. Well-maintained. We are looking forward to returning!
What a day
What can I say.....absolutely beautiful weather in the low 70's, golfing with a buddy and paired with 2 really nice guys also. The course was amazing from tee box to greens. Had a great time and will be back again next Sunday.
Not worth the Elitist attitude
Semi private club. Always has been. Got kicked out of the bar area waiting for a sandwich cause I wasn't a member. Refused alcohol from the cart girl cause I'm not a member. Unreal. These guys need to visit a REAL private club. See how well they treat their guests! Course not worth it. They'll take your money to play, but everything else is off limits. It's BYOK (Bring Your Own Keg)! See if they like that.
Wannabe Private Course
Always has been. Always will be. I get better service being a guest at a real private club. Order a sandwich to start the round, and no one at the window, so went into the bar to order before teeing off. After placing the order was told I had to wait outside because I wasn't a member. This course never was a private club, always semi-private, so why the elitist attitude? Paid my "guest" fees like everyone else, but can't stand in certain places??? I've been to the most exclusive, private clubs in the country, and never got this kind of treatment. Then during the round we tried to buy a beer off the cart and were asked again if we were members. Can't serve the public, even though we paid our greens (guest) fees. Unreal. Even if you want to "act" like a private club, you can still treat all like they have paid their way onto the course. Give me a break. They'll take your money to play, just don't expect to be treated like they want you there. STAY AWAY! Heading to Knob Hill next time.

Nice course in great shape. Good value for your money.Challenging for the experienced player.
No coolers, golf Now tee times treated as 2nd class citizens
I enjoy the course every time I play. Except for two things.
1) This year I can't bring my own cooler to keep your water cold! they confiscated my cooler. Why would any course not allow you to drink your own cold water on a hot summer day? Oh, It's not like they have many carts riding around either. Your option is bring your own water which will get hot or drink the well water they have on the course! Really???? Oh, and after the 3rd hole, you don't get back to the clubhouse to buy water until 18!
2) All of a sudden, If you get a golf Now tee time, you are treated as a 2nd class citizen. Apparently, they like the revenue, but not the golfers. They do not let you tee off early, even if no other groups are waiting or even there! My partner and I had to wait 30 mins on 1st tee. Starter told us, "I can't let you out early with a golf Now tee time." Really? There is no one here and I haven't seen anyone tee off in last 20 mins. So they make you wait there like two schmucks! I would have left, but couldn't get my money back!
Colts Neck is well maintained, but don't bring your cooler!

Great Shape
I played Colts Neck because they have not started aerating greens yet. They are working on some fairways but that didn't effect the quality of the course or play. This is a fair course if you keep it in play. Good chances to score well/. However, a little off-line and you are in deep grasses that will penalize you every time. Bunkers are well maintained and in good condition. Greens were very true and rolled beautifully. GPS on carts was a caddy that helped with distances and markers. A great value at the Golfnow price.
Nice friendly course...
Played here many times and I am very pleases. Being a woman I was tried like any other golfer. Friendly staff and very pleasant surroundings. Very easy to book a time. I had to reschedule due yo weather and I had no problem with GolfNow. They are very helpful. I'll be back to play there again soon...
Good local course
Have played a few rounds at Colts neck this year. Really enjoy the course, greens are well kept and course is fairly challenging.
Great Course
Beautiful and Challanging course! Was very impressed with all the Maintainece going on at many of the holes to keep the course in the beautiful shape it is in ! We also ate at the course and the waitress was very friendly and the food was delicious!
Top Notch
Absolutely beautiful course. Short yardage for someone like me who averages 290 yards per drive, but it has beautiful views, great facilities, and friendly staff. Definitely worth my time here.
Great condition
Second time playing colts neck this season and it's in really good shape with fast greens. Probably the best greens in the area for a public course. Nice layout, and super maintained. Took advantage of a $55 hot deal so i ranked it high for value for the money. Their primetime rates are $100 but i wouldn't pay more than $70 for a round of golf. Not their fault as NJ golf prices are just way overpriced in general.
Ok course for hot list price
The course is in very good shape, greens are very, very fast, but the hole locations were on side hills and mounds most of the round. The staff is excellent. Pace of play was brutal, had to leave after 16 holes because I had to be some where at 745 and I left at 715. I teed off at 235. The only disappointing part about this course is that there are 6 par 3's and you finish on one
Pristine conditions
Like everything else in Colts Neck, absolutely beautiful. Some challenging doglegs and the greens are perfect. Tough finishing hole as 18 is a long par 3 over water and usually into the wind.
Nice course. Could be more accomodating
Nice couse in very good condition. A couple of odd holes like the par 3 where you aim over the carts of the golfers one hole behind you and the par 4, dogleg left with the pin directly behind a huge oak tree and the 426 yard par 5. Two things they could improve upon. First, get competent rangers. We played the fron nine in over 2.5 hours behind a threesome that played like they were at the Masters on Sundaay afternoon. They had at least 3 holes open ahead of them, yet the ranger was more interested in chatting up the cart girl than doing something about them. The other thing is that they won't serve you at the bar if you're not a member. Not very hospitable if you ask me.
Nice and Pleasant track
Had a nice time, pace on the back 9 was a bit on the slow side , but over all very nice experience...
Be back for unfinished business !
nice round
Nice course for the price. Good pace of play. Need to see some good choices of Hot Deals on site, very lacking this year so far.
Course was in pristine shape
The course was well groomed with the greens in pristine shape. The rough was cut but extremely thick due to all rain the area has been receiving. A well placed tee shot was essential. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's a lot of variety with well placed bunkers, challenging tee shots and a couple of 190 to 200 yard par 3's. All in all it's a wonderful course and looking forward to playing it again.
