About

Holes 18
Type Municipal
Par 72
Length 7036 yards
Slope 135
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.

Fun to play but not cheap

This is a fun course to play with a nice mixture of easy and hard holes. Course is in good shape people just need to replace divots and fix ball marks.

the greens - what an atrocity

the tee boxes, fairways, & sand traps were in great condition, as expected. The greens were the worst I played all year. Obviously the early Nov aeration hurts BUT you could roll or cut the greens, maybe move the pins. Atrocious would be the word I would use to describe the greens. No one fixes their ball marks so there were craters everywhere. It was disappointing because I know how good they are. They were punching the fairways so they maybe sanding the fairways.

Love this course

One of my favorite public courses to play in New Jersey. Not only is it always in great shape but it drains so well right after rain. Rarely is it cartpath only. The difference in each of the three courses makes every hole challenging. Plus you got a love the fact they have a grass practice range.

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
