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.

Consistently enjoyable

Neshanic never disappoints, and I've been playing there since it first opened. Busy day but pace was good with groups properly spaced. The conditions were top-notch.

It is a bit pricey for out-of-county golfers but worth it for the occasional treat-yourself round.

Great course

great course. never disappoints. there was a mix up with GolfNow and the Somerset computer systems. they didnt have us booked. i showed the person behind the desk my confirmation. he said look you have it cancelled. i told him the first one i did cancel but the second shows i re-booked using promo code. i told him to look at the time stamps.and shows we were booked! he still thought i was lying so i had to get GolfNow on the phone. Bottom line is the course did get me and my wife out in reasonable time. i had 2 more promo codes sent to me from GolfNow. Just aggravated the guy thought i was lying. Obviously NOT a people person

Great Course

Highly recommend playing, course in very good shape. Played over month ago and not in as good of shape, as expected with all the play but still fairways and greens very nice. Rough is very high and tough to get out, can’t wait to play again.

Love to Play Here

Really nice courses, although some greens had a lot of unfixed ball marks this time. Very important to hit fairways here, and greens were quick. I always struggle here, but always enjoy it, I'll be back.

Best Public Golf in NJ Outside Atlantic City Area

For my money, this course is the best public facility that's not in the greater AC area. Absolutely remarkable conditions for it being late in the season, and this being a municipal facility. The rates are reasonable ($85 for non residents) for a course of this quality, with such a great design pedigree (Hurdzan & Fry of Erin Hills fame). That said, the design is phenomenal, and would stand on its own merits regardless of whose name was listed as architect. There are a lot of fun, interesting and challenging holes, but the course remains playable for people of all levels (I play with some 25+ handicaps who are over 60, and they enjoy the course from the senior tees. Additionally, in maybe 7 or 8 rounds at this course this season I have never once played in longer than 4.5 hours. This ranges from 7am tee times to 11 am tee times and everything in between. I cannot recommend this course enough.
