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.

Be straight!

A very nice course. Probably the best county course in the area. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent shape and well maintained. Greens were a little slower today than in the past but true.

Course layout is quite nice with some challenging holes thrown in. The first cut of rough is quite high and second shots will depend on how your ball lies. The fescue is almost impossible to hit out of. You better hit straight on this course or there will be a lot of lost balls!

Overall a good day out and a good test of golf.

Great weekend morning on the links

The course is in great shape. We played the Meadow and Lake 9s on a Saturday morning in under 4 hours. The course was in great shape - greens rolled true, fairways were healthy, green, and well maintained. We played the gold tees which play at 6,645 yards. A very challenging course but not overly punishing. Many tee shots are fairly open which helps inspire confidence when needing a big drive on a long hole. Overall it was a great day of golf.

Neshanic is an amazing course

Very enjoyable because of the awesome layout. Most of the holes are right in front of you so you can plan and try to execute.

Slow play

Front 9 on Ridge took 2:25 minutes...ridiculous. While able to get full 18 in before sunset, it was a slow and frustrating pace of play.

Neshanic Valley: A Peak experience

Course was in great condition – bent grass greens/fairways/tees; nice white sand in bunkers; thick bluegrass rough around the greens (easy to get your club under the ball for delicate chips).

This could be classified as a links-type course - very few trees to worry about. Fairways are fairly wide; I felt the course gave my driver “room to breathe”, which is nice.

Three nines here. We played the Ridge-Meadows combo from the Blue tees (~6,100 yards). Although the course can be challenging, I thought the 129 slope was overstated.

Big clubhouse, good carts. Didn’t see the bar/restaurant that might be there.

I’d give an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

Challenging excellent course well served

Very nice course, challenging and fun to play

Staff refused to let me start early despite there was no one starting, but I know that’s the rule

When I started I was between multiple groups and Pace after I started was too rushed

Club house burger was very good prices are reasonable

Overall I love this course and this club

I have been member of its academy for several years

Best course on the county

Amazing municipal course

Can’t heap enough praise on the pristine conditions of this course. Tee boxes, fairways, greens are meticulous. I don’t think I saw a burned out spot on the course. Bunkers full of soft sand and raked like a resort course. Great views and many interesting holes, put on your big boy pants if you’re going from the tips. Love grass tee boxes on the driving range and great putting green in front of the clubhouse.

Yes it is not ideal that they don’t have water on the course, but I’m happy to bring my own water bottles and pay $55 (county card) riding for a course that easily holds it’s own against $125+ private courses. By far the best course I’ve played all year.

Great condition, well run, great experience.

I played this course recently while entertaining a client and it was almost perfect. The course was in great shape, challenging enough but not an impossible test and the facility was run well by a friendly staff. The course provided a good experience from a business standpoint - the facility is relatively new and has a classy feel, without making me burn through my expenses budget and we finished in 4 hours. The only areas for improvement I'd suggest for management are; get some drinking water on the course (a free bottle in the cart is a nice touch but doesn't sustain for a full day in 90 degree weather), and get a beverage cart on the premises. We didn't see a cart gal all day.

Great!

For public play, as as good a value as you can get. Course is in great shape, greens reasonable speed, bunkers are the best I’ve played this year anywhere in the country! All three nines are equally in my book. All good.

No water on the course. Summer time!

The course is in good shape. No water on the course and no drink carts.?You are offered one bottle of water for 18 holes. Staff needs to be trained in customer service, especially when so many better options are available to avid golfers.?

No water on the course.

The course provides ONE bottle for 18 holes of play. The course is in good shape. However, for the price you can get better deals on Golf Now. The staff needs to be trained in customer service.
