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.

Great Course

Highly recommend playing, course in very good shape. Played over month ago and not in as good of shape, as expected with all the play but still fairways and greens very nice. Rough is very high and tough to get out, can’t wait to play again.

One of the top courses in NJ

Have been playing Neshanic over 10+ years. Always a pleasure to come and play. Course is always in a great shape. Pace of play is excellent. Staff could be a little friendlier. Overall A++.

Love to Play Here

Really nice courses, although some greens had a lot of unfixed ball marks this time. Very important to hit fairways here, and greens were quick. I always struggle here, but always enjoy it, I'll be back.

Great course

Been playing Neshanic for many years. Great course, great value. Greens were slow today but overall a wonderful course. It’s a must course to play in NJ.

Best Public Golf in NJ Outside Atlantic City Area

For my money, this course is the best public facility that's not in the greater AC area. Absolutely remarkable conditions for it being late in the season, and this being a municipal facility. The rates are reasonable ($85 for non residents) for a course of this quality, with such a great design pedigree (Hurdzan & Fry of Erin Hills fame). That said, the design is phenomenal, and would stand on its own merits regardless of whose name was listed as architect. There are a lot of fun, interesting and challenging holes, but the course remains playable for people of all levels (I play with some 25+ handicaps who are over 60, and they enjoy the course from the senior tees. Additionally, in maybe 7 or 8 rounds at this course this season I have never once played in longer than 4.5 hours. This ranges from 7am tee times to 11 am tee times and everything in between. I cannot recommend this course enough.

Great course

Played the ridge and meadow courses which were both in great shape. Some greens were browning where ball marks weren't repaired but overall it is a very nice course, a little pricey but very good course. Good time was had by all.

Pick it up

All n all One of my favorite public courses. Def worth the money. Pace of play needs to be addressed. 2 plus hours on the front and the back was no picnic either. No ranger in sight. Cart girls were always present which is good but send a ranger out here n there

Excellent layout and pace of play

Great layout more of a links style course

Many tee options

Green we’re not rolling as good as in past, probably just because it’s late in season and getting lots of play

Good Value for an afternoon tee time. Pace of play was acceptable, but with public golf, it can get a little slow.
