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
Great shape
This course is well worth the GolfNow price. The weather was slightly raining but the fairways and greens were in tremendous shape. Would recommend playing this course. Daily rates are quite expensive so I will be looking for another hot deal.
Make sure you have all your shots in the bag.
The course gives you opportunities to go for it but not without risk. There are some visually deceptive features in addition to a premium on position for your approach. Just when you think your are going to score the greens jump up and bite you.
Nice Course
Course is in great shape. Decent practice facilities and pace of play in the afternoon. Biggest complaint was many of the tee boxes were not level, or even close to it. Not sure I'd pay their full freight price, but it's worth a go on a hot deal.
Great course
Great course for the money. Would recommend they open up the snack bar on 9
Or send a cart out once in a while.
Confusing
I understand this is a club that wants to offer beneftis to members and reasons to join. The course itself was in good shape, well maintained, very interesting, and a lot of fun. The pace of play was very poor, there were no restroom facilities to be had that we could find other than members-only, and they will not allow outside beverages or sell beer to non-members. At the conclusion of our round, which we drove by someone teeing off hole 3, the clubhouse was generally shut down. No more food/beverages, no bathroom access. Return cart and go home.
A fun and interesting golf course, the people we met rangers, starter, cart personnel were very nice. But from a facility standpoint it was a monumental letdown.
Fantastic
This golf course is grade A. Perfect conditions and it poured rain for a day and a half before we played i thought the course would be soaked. They had a staff member drying the greens with a leaf blower for mor than excellent conditions. If you are going to play this course it is an awesome atmosphere with some decently challenging holes. I will play here as much as i can and considering membership
Challenging, well-maintained, reasonably priced,.....
Professional and friendly staff
Challenging course to play but still enjoyable to players of all levels (from observation)
Reasonable green fees
Some ball washers with no water or broken
Pleasant Day in Central Jersey
Colts Neck presents a fairly straightforward day of golf. The course layout isn't all too complicated and hitting the ball straight can lead to low scoring. There are several risk/reward opportunities on the par 5s which may explain my 4 birdies and 4 double bogeys on my scorecard.
Overall, there is a nice practice facility and the course was in great shape for early April, I expect the greens will be in great shape in just a few more weeks.
nice course
Well maintained course with friendly staff. Early in season but lots of staff working to get it ready. Too many par 3s for me to play all the time but would come back.
Nice course SLOW PLAY
Nice course & facility. Partnered with a husband & wife. Both very nice and fast players for double digit hdcps. There were 2 holes open ahead of a VERY SLOW GROUP that was 2 groups in front. No ranger to keep pace moving. Walking jr golfers became impatient & hit into us twice. They sat & commented that the lady shouldn't be playing. ( pace not her fault). Also some groups started on 3rd hole, also slowed pace. Waited 5-10 mins on many shots. Husband & wife left after 12 holes.
Great deal with Golf Now
Colts Neck is one of the best courses in NJ. The wind and overcast made it too cold but I blame that on the weather forecast. Golf Now tee times is very limited and hope they provide more tee times. Otherwise, it's too expensive to play.
2nd best golf course in NJ
My second favorite course in NJ, first being neshanic valley. The value would be better if you could walk the course but there are a couple of holes that it's very necessary to ride. Pace of play can get slow when it's crowded. Other than that, it's a beautiful course with a great layout. Must play.
Fantastic Experience
Colts Neck is Fantastic. The Layout is Challenging, not overly long from the whites. Several Interesting holes. Course was played on a cold windy day, fantastic hot deal from golf now which included a bucket of balls and cart.
Looking forward to playing the course in the spring.
Well Stocked Pro Shop, beautiful bar with complimentary coffee....just what was needed on a cold day.
Great Staff. Makes me wish I could afford a membership!
Was in great shape for almost winter! Hardly a leaf on the fairways. Was really impressed with the staff and maintenance crew who were all happy and cordial. Would love to be able to afford a membership here. For now will have to settle on golf now's discounts.
not the most exclucive course in coltsneck
arrived one and a quarter hour early and they said I was too early to get a cart. The grass area of the range was closed and the mats and balls were in poor shape. we were moving along nicely (under a four and half hour round) and told to pick it up, there was a twosome in front of our foursome. The greens were burned out on two holes. They should take out the eye sore on the seventeen hole.(an unmaintained shed...). The attendant gave me an attitude when I did not want my clubs cleaned. This is not an exclusive club in colts neck as ADVERTISED. but an example of poor management that includes rude staff and some members. The twosome that joined us were members and one of them did not have the common sense to introduce them selves. All in All worst golf experience ever.
This course was in great shape for being late in the season.
This is the first time I played Colts Neck Golf Course and I was very impressed with the staff and the course itself. I will definitely play this course again and hope to find more tee times through the Golf Now website.
Great Condition and Pace of Play
Course was in great shape and a less than 4 hours for the round on a beautiful Friday afternoon was a plus. For the golf now price of 35.00 it was a great deal.
Great bargain!
Very nice course for the money. $50 got us greens fees and cart, range balls, and a 2 for 1 drink special at Huddy's tavern right down the street (just bring your scorecard). This semi-private course has the feel of a nice country club. Beautifully maintained course. We played twice in the past couple of weeks and the second time was after they aerated, so greens were bumpy. Prior to that, the greens were good.
