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.

Crazy Layout

The course. Is in poor shape - no one reports divots or ballparks and there is fungus on many of the greens. I never saw a course layout like this - it’s very confusing and in some areas dangerous.

Avoid at all costs

Awful place, worse people. I wouldn’t play here again if my life depended on it. Be prepared to be treated like an infant if you decide to play this sorry excuse of a golf course.

Taking a turn for the worse

This course was great ~3 years ago, but something happened where the conditions and amenities aren’t what they used to be. Greens are in very bad shape and no drink cart. 2 groups ahead they let a group of 6 out and it ruined pace of play. The golf carts play instructional videos on how to fix divots and would go off at random times with no option to skip. Carts would threaten to lock you out if you went over 8mph, even when you are well below that speed. I would regularly see putts on the green bounce around due to poor conditions. Many greens have black spots where grass isn’t even growing.

Terrible conditions

Terrible conditions greens were beat up most public courses are much nicer and tee boxes were also beat up. For $110 is ridiculous much nicer courses for way cheaper.

Expensive and Bad condition

Course was 90$ to play. Doesnt seem like they water the course at all. A lot of greens were burnt out and had many black spots. Much nicer courses in way better condition for 90$. Marshall told us to speed it up after 2 holes. We were 1 minute behind pace. Unnecessary.

Front better than the back

Some of the greens on the back appeared to have been aerated recently. , some were bumpy.

Some of the tee boxes on the back as well, were spotty. Some weeds, but overall this is a fine course. First time playing it this year - hope to be back.

Good gps on the carts.

Water stations placed at tee boxes throughout the 18. Very much appreciated

Good to play if you can get a deal

I played after 4 and walked for $50 dollars. That’s all I’d say this course is really worth. It was potential but needs a lot better maintenance. Greens were pretty rough and tee boxes need some help.

Less than average

The course conditions were terrible. Greens had weeds. Fairways are beaten up. Tee boxes are not maintained either. Stones in the sand bunker on 18th green. The municipal courses in that are in better shape. Not worth even if they have a hot deal.

Signage

Course rate was somewhat over priced. Fairways in decent shape, greens slow and tee boxes were shabby. The signage coming off greens to tee boxes was awful. And, too many roped off areas.
