Neshanic Valley Golf Course - Meadow/Ridge Course
About
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.

Great place
Beautiful place. Generous fairways
Greens could be quicker
Best County course in NJ, no question
After a few inches of rain last night it wasn’t even cart path only and the course was in unbelievable shape, to be honest It probably should’ve been CPO but hats off to the maintenance staff
Beautiful place
This is how golf is supposed to be. What a wonderful facility.
Love this course!
I am not a somerset county resident but i don’t mind doing the 45 minute drive to golf Neshanic. Conditions are always top notch even after rain. Nothing bad to say about this course.
Neshanic is a beautiful course, it’s a challenging course, and always in great condition, it’s one of my favorite golf courses, the people that work
There are very nice and friendly
Excellent Conditions
One of my favorite courses in Central Jersey.
This year, the course is in great condition with smooth fairways and rolling greens.
And the rough along with the wispy grass on missed tee shots adds a nice challenge.
Warning on my playing partners
I've been playing golf for 50 years (started at 12 yrs.)
Never have I been paired with a more strange and potentially dangerous twosome.
After skipping a hole to "play though" a slower 4 some, our threesome caught up with the group ahead of them after a hole or two. These people wanted to play "speed golf". They originally wanted to jump 9's and play the Lake course, were assigned the Ridge and Meadow 9's.
I talked them out of this idea stating that the started would have figured us into our next nine (Ridge) and that we would mess up his system.
One we caught the group ahead the Woman and her Son started hitting as many as 5 balls and chasing them all over the place. I just played my game and would frequently be on the green waiting for them to play whatever ball was currently in play.
The most dangerous part of this twosome would happen when the woman would "reload" a ball and hit a second ball without announcing it. This almost got me hit when the woman hit her second shot into the lake on our finishing hole and as I prepared to hit my shot, I heard "fore" and her unannounced ball drop and shot missed me by few feet off her 3 wood.
I looked for the Starter to warn him as well, but our round concluded later in the afternoon and he was gone.
Once a Year
I try to play Neshanic at least once a year, well worth the 1+ hour drive. We had a perfect day and the course was in very good shape. Somerset County residents have a great set of golf courses.
