The 27-hole Neshanic Valley Golf Course is the flagship course of the Somerset County Park Commission system. The renowned design team of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry created the course. Divided into three nines known as the Lake, Ridge, and Meadow, the course provides three different 18-hole combinations. Each par-36 nine has five different sets of tees. The Meadow/Lake Course features ample amounts of fescue along both the fairways and greens. If you don't hit straight off the tees, you may find yourself in some trouble. There are cavernous bunkers framing the greens, which are also subtly sloped for even more of a challenge. The golf course begins and ends with water holes but you'll find environmentally sensitive wetland areas that come into play throughout. In addition to the 27-hole course, Neshanic Valley also has a nine-hole, par-32 Academy Course.

Nice layout, greens are too slow

It felt like i was putting on the fairway with the greens. The course is beautiful though so i'll take it. The 4some behind us hit into our group a few times which was rude.

Two things to consider if that happens, one, call the pro shop and ask that a ranger come out and toss the jerks off the course, or hit the ball back at the person who hit into your group, sometimes 2 wrongs make a right.

I've played the course before, I'm cheap and thought I got a great deal for a twilight time which is what I like. Played in 3 hours by myself and only took that long because of rain it was cart path only. All 3 nines have nice mixture of challenges. Play from the right tees and it could be fun or torture! Only problem I had was there was no place to get even a drink of water. Was afraid to take my meds thinking i would choke. BRING WATER! Great staff!

Love It

Discovered Neshanic end of 2021. Have played course about 7 times. Their are 3 nines. Can’t go wrong with any of them. Nice driving range and the putting green is true to the course. Can’t beat the price for one of the best public golf courses in the state. Wish it was closer than an hour from home.

Great as always

For December golf in New Jersey, absolutely fantastic. Greens were a little slow, however, despite the fact that it rained the day before, the drainage was incredible, and the course was in fantastic condition. Little slow on the front nine, but nobody ahead of us on the back nine. I always play Neshanic if I have a chance.
