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.

Difficult but fun course in great condition

Neshanic Valley is always fun to play. The course is generally in great shape except that some of the sand traps are a little lacking in sand. Otherwise, the greens, fairways, and tee boxes are all in excellent shape.

The course is pretty difficult - it plays long for the average golfer (10 - 20 handicap). Despite the length, I always enjoy playing the course.

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.
