About

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.

Nice time

Played ridge / lake. Nice combination. Course was in very good shape and the green were rolling. Meadow was getting a little backed up so starter have us the option to switch to lake and the place was excellent.

We grabbed something to eat at the course and they only offered burgers or dogs. The burgers left some to be desired as they were small and overcooked.

Golf was good and if recommend a pass on the food.

Great Course But...

For me, this has always been one of NJs finest. The entire course is well kept. Greens are in very good condition but not very fast, I wish they were faster. The rather large issue I have with the course is the rough. There is no intermediate cut, just fairway then rough, and the rough is punitive. It is very thick and long. Many good drives that just trickle off can find the rough. I mentioned this to the personnel at the course, who by the way possess the typical Jersey attitude, and they said, "tell it to stop raining". My reply to that, is this the first wet spring/summer in the history of man? Furthermore, does your lawnmower not work anymore? I would actually rather hit from the tall fescue. Hard to complain about a course that is so well kept but this is my review!

Best County course in NJ, no question

After a few inches of rain last night it wasn’t even cart path only and the course was in unbelievable shape, to be honest It probably should’ve been CPO but hats off to the maintenance staff
