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.

Not too good, but better than not playing

Tee boxes are a mess. Full of divots and very uneven lots of ball above or below your feet on the tea box not which is not fun. The greens are not well-maintained. Lots of unfixed ball marks difficult to get a good role. The course itself is probably big enough for 16 holes, but they squeezed 18 in, I wouldn’t go back. It’s better than not playing at all.

Trash Semi Private Course

Starts off by charging me $97 instead of what it said to be $70 on golf now. Golf carts were good, only thing good I could say about the course. Greens filled with ball marks all over and tee boxes were beat up as could be. The pace of play was over 5 hours. The ranger drove in front of my friend while he was in his back swing. I would never play this course again. Maybe if it was $25. I feel bad for the members of this course it’s embarrassing. Trash trash trash regret showing up to this course, it’s a shame cause it’s a nice layout too.

Disappointing conditions

I love this course and have played it several times, including in the off-season as it's one of the few courses in the area that remain open year-round. That said, the current conditions are among the worst I've seen. Greens are patchy and inconsistent. Tee boxes are pretty rough. (In fairness it seems like many players are not repairing their marks.) Some bunkers were thick and wet. Many holes didn't even have liquid in the ball washers. It's a great layout with friendly staff and a nice driving range but it feels a bit overpriced right now given conditions and other options in the area. Hopefully it improves soon.

Not worth the money

Very disappointed in course conditions- terrible pace of play. Multiple twosomes- a single walker and some kid driving through “only playing par 3’s”????

I have no plans of ever returning- better off going to knob hill-

Course was in good shape, could be in great shape if they put sand, soil and seed on carts to repair tee box and fairway divots. Also, people or staff need to fix ball marks on greens. Pace of play was slow, but it was Saturday afternoon. Overall solid track, but a bit on the pricey side for the conditions.

Staff is pretty unpleasant. Stood to check in for about 15 minutes while people were just sitting in the office. Course has a nice layout but the greens and tee boxes were in poor shape. Course has seemed to go downhill each year. not worth the money when other courses nearby are much nicer and cheaper.

Nice course

Despite the busy day, the course ran like a well oiled machine.

All the staff was attentive. For the start of the season the course is in great shape. The greens were being aerated but that was fine. When we booked we were notified of it. The holes are a little narrow so a few balls landed in our fairway and tee box. So big hitters beware. Highly recommend.

Coin Toss

I don’t know if this course is worth $95 for 18 unless you live close by. Some holes under maintenance, funky looking greens, but it is April I guess. Don’t go here if you’re a beginner, greens will eat you alive. Starter was nice guy.

Disappointing for the $$$

Greens and tee boxes in bad shape. Yet they keep raising prices . Driving range matt is also in horrible shape. And they charge $10 for a small bucket. Unfortunately they seem to know we have limited place to play . Very few ball washers and few they had out didn’t have water in them.

Its getting there

Love the layout, it is a tad short but not that short to not go driver on most holes. You can tell they upgraded the drainage because the course was 75% dry which is impressive for all the water we got in the last two weeks. Bunkers are great. Greens need some work but it is expected this time of year. Wish there was any options to grab a beer or food for nonmembers. Will be back.
