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.

Golfer Reviews
2nd Time Back
I played here one time last year and always wanted to come back. Got a HotDeal on Golf Now, so this was my chance. Played Meadow/Ridge, Meadow I played last year, Ridge was new to me, I enjoyed it. Was told Blue tees equal to white so we played off them, had alot of long 2nd shots all day, think I'll move up to silver next time. Aeration warning when I took tee time, but they were working on the other 9 this day, our 9's were scheduled for the next days. Greens were great and challenging. Loved the $4 foot long hot dog too.
GOOD AND NOT GOOD
Ten AM tee time on a beautiful but very windy day. The course was great as usual. Five hour round. The staff did not make any attempt to speed up play that I could see.
When it is crowded, this course should not allow walkers.
Awesome Time
Great course, fabulous condition. Staff was friendly and helpful. Conditions were awesome, firm smooth greens, flawless fairways. Pace of play a bit slow, but a small outing backed things up a bit. Staff was friendly and helpful, good tips from the starter on some of the intricacies of the course. Excellent value for a top quality venue!
Great course
Has to be one of the best public courses in Nj. Has to be.
Staff in pro shop not very friendly... for the price, I would expect better snacks available as well... on the positive side, course was in good shape and is an interesting layout w some challenges
Great course! But staff not so much.
I walked in for 10AM tee time. The person in the counter did even say Good Morning or welcome. I asked can I use the range"range is closed" that's it. He then tells me that are mowing it. It's 10AM!!! Why are they cutting the grass on the range knowing there are many people waiting to use the range.
*** I then realized the whole day they had workers cutting the grass, fixing bunkers, all through out the time we were playing.
I just don't understand how they can't do it earlier in the morning like other courses.
Other then that, the Ranger was good, course was great, but the guy working behind the counter needs to change his attitude.
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.
Very Well kept
One of the best kept courses in the area. Worth every penny.
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.
Terrific track
Well manicured, nicely run. Tees for all levels of players.
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.
