Rating 73.5

Neshanic Valley Golf Course is a 27-hole layout that was designed by the renowned team of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry. The course is divided into three nines that can be played in different 18-hole combinations. The nines -- the Lake, Ridge, and Meadow -- are named after the different features of the varied terrain but each par-36 nine has five different sets of tees, which provides playing options for all skill levels. On the Meadow/Ridge Course you'll find ample fescue along the fairways and greens. The greens are especially tricky since not only are they framed by massive bunkers, the putting surfaces are also contoured. Though the slopes are subtle, they can be very tricky. There is a pond on the front nine and environmentally sensitive wetlands come into play throughout.

Geens were SLOW

I ususally play this course about 3 times a year. The course is usually in great shape. The greens were a huge disappointment today, VERY SLOW by their usual standards.

Greens were extremely slow

Been playing at Neshanic for over 10 years. The course is always in great condition. But on this day, the greens were the slowest I have ever seen. Otherwise, one of the top public golf courses in NJ.

Great track

Love this course. Conditions are always immaculate. $90 is a tad steep but It’s cheaper than most of top state public courses.

First Time Playing

Good looking out

I had a 2:35 PM teatime on this particular day I arrived at the course an hour early to hit some balls and warm up.

The pro shop, and the starter noted that we had bad weather moving in later that evening, asked me if I wanted to get out early, and sent me out 35 minutes before my teatime. it was very nice of them and prescient as well. Not five minutes after we finished up our 18th hole, the skies opened up.

The course itself is in terrific shape, fairways, bunkers, greens. And tee boxes are all excellent. The layout is interesting, and trouble lurks just off the fairway.. Nice course, nice staff.

Being a county member I play this course at least 10/12 times a year. Over the past 2 years, the greens have slowed down tremendously. Not sure if they are doing this intentionally or the greens keeper has changed.

Hope they go back to the way they used to be. The upkeep is second to none and makes you feel like you're playing a country club ....until you start putting. Besides that, this is probably the best public course in Central NJ.
