Rating 73.5

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.

Great County Golf Facility

I say facility because they have it all for golf. 27 holes all in great condition. A 18 hole academy course and 6 acre practice and learning center. Clubhouse with bar restaurant and wedding venue. This is truly a nice place to play and visit. I wish I lived closer, would play this course on a regular basis, Beautiful location in the hills of Somerset county with beautiful scenery from the tee boxes and the clubhouse. I recommend you visit and play this course if you get the opportunity.

Love the track

Use to live in county and Neshanic was then and still is a great place to play. I live close to crystal springs courses and play there as well, but for the value and course layout, Neshanic is still close to my heart. Take my 16 yo to play as often as I can. Course conditions never disappoint. There was only one compliant, after starting and finishing the Ridge, we pulled up to play Meadow only to find it backed up x4 foursomes, mixed with both new starting times and guys coming from the front nine.Starter messed something up, being there was nobody on Lake. It took some convincing before he let us go to Lake, where there was nobody for the fist two holes, and nobody after us for seven holes. If they get the starter on track, things would be smoother.

Great course, great conditions except golfers need to fix their ball marks and fix them correctly, and learn how to walk without dragging their feet on the greens

Great layout, but pace of play can be a struggle

This is a great 27 hole layout with great variety and normally good conditions. The greens on this day were pretty slow, but the foot drags, divots and overall conditions of the greens were disappointing. As usual, the staff was indifferent. Not rude, not friendly. They seem almost annoyed that they are forced to ring up your transaction. The pace of play was awful on this day. Waits on every tee. Course was jampacked, so perhaps spread the tee times out by an extra minute or two. This is the jewel of the Somerset County courses, but needs to stay on top of their game, lest they become like the others.

Greens were awful, fairways not much better

Felt like I was putting thru moon craters. Staff made excuse about lack of maintenance by staff due to hiring shortage. This course charges enough money to afford 3 more maintenance workers. It is a really nice course but very disappointed with reason for bad greens. Fairways were not that good either, putting container with dirt in cart would be nice.
