Neshanic Valley Golf Course - Meadow/Lake Course
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.

One of the best courses in the area
One of the best courses in the area, meticulously maintained and managed.
I hate playing a nice course After it has been aerated. They said that they were alternating nines but two out of three nines were aerated and it made greens impossible to putt. Thus it was a bad experience and not worth the money.
Best public course in NJ
IMO best public course in NJ, always immaculate. Layout is challenging but fun, no holes that seem out of place or not interesting. Overall awesome course, 70$ for this course is a steal, could easily charge 100$+
Fantastic day
The facility is magnificent. From the driving range to the executive 9 hole to the clubhouse to the 27 hole complex. The course is in magnificent shape with dark green grass and golden fescue. The staff is welcoming and the proshop offers affordable golf wear. Highly recommend.
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.
One of the top courses in NJ
Have been playing Neshanic over 10+ years. Always a pleasure to come and play. Course is always in a great shape. Pace of play is excellent. Staff could be a little friendlier. Overall A++.
