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.

CNGC

For a semi private course, it is mediocre. The greens are in really poor condition, and given the fact that it is semi private, they should not have rules where members can only buy certain things off the golf cart, girl, great way to inspire membership.

That said, we continue to play it because it is close to home, but not a great value for the money. You can play KNob Hill for way less and it’s a beautiful course or even Lakewood country club, which is well-maintained. We play a lot of golf, and it would be enjoyable if they actually kept this course up. The 12th hole is terrible

110 for what ????

Course was in terrible shape. First and last visit. Neshanic Valley makes this place look like a dog track and it’s 30$ less. Pebble creek is better along with any of the other Monmouth county courses. Matter of fact I’d recommend playing tamarack over this place. Play at your own risk and expect to be disappointed !!!

One of the best

Second time playing the course this year,

After a couple of days of rain, the bunkers were full of puddles, that was not unexpected,

Cart path only when we started but a ranger appeared just over an hour into the round to tell -90 degrees

We had a rain delay with a few holes left but we waited it out and finished,

Colts neck remains in the top 5 of public courses we play in NJ.

Worth the 50 minute drive for us

Too pricey for the conditions of the greens

Divots EVERYWHERE. No adult beverages unless you're a member or know one. Tough course nut should be in better condition for the price.

Not in great shape for a “Best in NJ” course

The course wasn’t in great shape. Greens were rough. Most annoyingly, the staff is unclear about the course’s rules and regulations. We were told there would be a cart girl, which there was, but when she came around she said you can’t buy alcohol if you’re not a member. That is completely fine but a staff member had earlier told us we’d be able to get a drink on the course if we were in the mood for one. The rule is a little silly but even sillier is the staff not knowing or communicating this. Also on the communication front, the scorecard depicts hole 12 as a par 4 when it’s a par 3. It seems like management has gotten a tad lazy, resting on its laurels.

It a shame

It’s a shame. You go to what you think will be beautiful course and it’s just not. Most of the greens are horrible. There’s construction everywhere except where it needs it.

There’s no need to say anything else.

Overpriced

At the prices they charge they should be embarrassed of the shape of the course. MUCH better value locally.

Decent Glf Course

The course conditions were just OK. A lot of the tee boxes were poorly maintained. Some of the greens were faster than others which makes for difficult scoring. tThe layout is interesting enough to consider future play. The morning pricing is too expensive to consider for the average golfer. The pace of play could be improved but not awful.

Greens were trash

Played the day of the club championship so assumed course would be in great shape. It was, other than the greens that didn't have a divot fixed all day and looked as though someone stomped down and turned their spikes on every green
