Type Municipal
Par 72
Length 7069 yards
Slope 132
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.

Good but greens need time to heal

Always love playing here but greens not fully recovered from aeration. Bit bumpy.

Beautiful course. Played a little bit slow and no rangers out but sort of expected on a public course on a Saturday. Biggest knock would be I wish they had sand on the carts and sand at the tee boxes. Not good juju walking away from divots on tee boxed and fairways without putting some sand back. But overall course is in great shape. Last note cart girl was only allowed to serve beers.. and only came around once.

Okay overall.

The greens were just aerated and very difficult to putt. There was no beverage, and alcoholic beverages were only allowed to be consumed at the bar in the clubhouse,

I would recommend this course, but not with the current condition of the greens.

Notice aeration

There was an aeration on Thursday, and a large holes and sands were covered on the green, but Golf Now didn't notice it.

Great as always

Played between rain storms. 2.5 hours. Barely anyone there. NOT cart path only because they have the best drainage system in the world. Fantastic shape. Please don’t go…it will make it harder for me to get a tee time!!!!!

Expensive but a good course

Neshanic is a well-maintained County course. It is expensive for out of county players, but the course conditions, difficulty, and quality of the course are comparable to a private club. The course was in good condition. The fescue is tall and it is difficult to find your ball if you hit into it. Overall, if cost is not a principal consideration, the course is worth playing. It is competitive with other course of this quality in the area.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course. 27 holes. Went 3 times and absolutely loved it each time. Will go again. One of the starters (young guy with beard) is awesome; couple of of the older staff members can probably improve their friendliness to be equal to all and much better.

It’s pricey but a fantastic course!

thank you

It's been a tough weather year for maintaining golf courses. So, THANK YOU to the Neshanic Valley grounds keepers - for doing such a wonderful job on the course. Tee boxes were excellent, greens and fairways were wonderful to play off of. This was my first time here - thanks for the signage. Love the challenging course.and conditions.
