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.

Great fairways and Greens

Played Ridge/Lake, first time at Neshanic Valley this year. Tough to get a tee time as a non-resident now, so when an 8:12 on Saturday popped up, grabbed it. Always loved playing these courses when I was a Somerset County resident.

Course was in great condition, fairways were lush for this time of year, rough and fescue were fair from a penalty standpoint and greens were excellent and rolled true. Views are great. Played in 4:10 so pace was good

One of the best county courses I’ve ever played. Challenging and fun design. Course is in amazing shape, especially for late season + a month of severe drought. Fairways are lush and greens are rolling. Highly recommend.

Out of my top 5 best public courses in NJ.

Played Ridge/Meadow course was in good shape even with drought condition. Fairways were good greens good (greens kind of like a Donald Ross green layout). Ridge/Meadow layout was decent, Fairly easy layout. I had this ranked in top 5 public courses in NJ. But after playing the other courses Neshanic drops out of top 5 maybe even out of top 10, just not as nice as the others or challenging. If you are a 7 hcp or less no reason why you shouldn't shoot par or under. Pace was ok staff not the best but decent. Not as nice as courses below, But still worth a play. See top 5 below for better courses.

Fun links course

The course is very well maintained, the layout offers both elevated course experience and British Open feel. The long grass rough is TOUGH to hit out! Greens are firm and speed is not super fast but definitely need speed management. Chipping conditions around the greens are very good! Fairways and Tee boxes are great! What disappointed me was the empty proshop. I wanted to buy a logo shirt and poker marker, almost no merchandise. Golf carts have no ice cooler, not sure if this is NJ course norm. Overall, it’s a fun course to play!
