Neshanic Valley Golf Course - Meadow/Lake Course

I had a 2:35 PM teatime on this particular day I arrived at the course an hour early to hit some balls and warm up.

The pro shop, and the starter noted that we had bad weather moving in later that evening, asked me if I wanted to get out early, and sent me out 35 minutes before my teatime. it was very nice of them and prescient as well. Not five minutes after we finished up our 18th hole, the skies opened up.

The course itself is in terrific shape, fairways, bunkers, greens. And tee boxes are all excellent. The layout is interesting, and trouble lurks just off the fairway.. Nice course, nice staff.

Being a county member I play this course at least 10/12 times a year. Over the past 2 years, the greens have slowed down tremendously. Not sure if they are doing this intentionally or the greens keeper has changed.

Hope they go back to the way they used to be. The upkeep is second to none and makes you feel like you're playing a country club ....until you start putting. Besides that, this is probably the best public course in Central NJ.

Awesome condition, can't wait to go back

First time playing neshanic this year.

It has always been a favorite.

One of the best in NJ

Everything is top notch

I have played Neshanic many times over the years. It is a good-quality course and a reasonable value. The course is more challenging than most public courses. The biggest issue is the pace of play, particularly on weekends. The course has t-time availabilities at 10 minute intervals. This results in the course being backed up and delays, particularly on par 3 holes. The solution is obvious, they should lengthen the interval between groups to 12 to 14 minutes. This would make the round more enjoyable.

Everything was good except the starter who was very rude…such people should not be hired in such positions.. the staff inside the clubhouse were very friendly..

Played on Friday afternoon of Memorial Day weekend. Great staff - easy check in. Starter was friendly. Practice green in great condition. Two of us walked and two took a cart. We played Meadow-Lake combo. We finished Meadow in 2 hours. Lake took a bit longer - 2 hours 15 mins due to a slow group ahead of us. Conditions are fantastic throughout - tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, greens. You won’t find better conditions at many private clubs. Rough is getting thicker so harder to find balls that go in there. Highly recommend playing this course. Thank you Somerset County for the great conditions you maintain here and other county courses also.

We had excellent experience playing the Ridge-Meadow course, the staff are helpful and friendly, the course is very well maintained, the view is superb, overall it’s fantastic. Will definitely come back to play Lake course later.

Great course great conditions fun layout challenging holes
