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.

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.

Neshanic Valley: A Peak experience

Course was in great condition – bent grass greens/fairways/tees; nice white sand in bunkers; thick bluegrass rough around the greens (easy to get your club under the ball for delicate chips).

This could be classified as a links-type course - very few trees to worry about. Fairways are fairly wide; I felt the course gave my driver “room to breathe”, which is nice.

Three nines here. We played the Ridge-Meadows combo from the Blue tees (~6,100 yards). Although the course can be challenging, I thought the 129 slope was overstated.

Big clubhouse, good carts. Didn’t see the bar/restaurant that might be there.

I’d give an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

Challenging excellent course well served

Very nice course, challenging and fun to play

Staff refused to let me start early despite there was no one starting, but I know that’s the rule

When I started I was between multiple groups and Pace after I started was too rushed

Club house burger was very good prices are reasonable

Overall I love this course and this club

I have been member of its academy for several years

Best course on the county

Amazing municipal course

Can’t heap enough praise on the pristine conditions of this course. Tee boxes, fairways, greens are meticulous. I don’t think I saw a burned out spot on the course. Bunkers full of soft sand and raked like a resort course. Great views and many interesting holes, put on your big boy pants if you’re going from the tips. Love grass tee boxes on the driving range and great putting green in front of the clubhouse.

Yes it is not ideal that they don’t have water on the course, but I’m happy to bring my own water bottles and pay $55 (county card) riding for a course that easily holds it’s own against $125+ private courses. By far the best course I’ve played all year.

Great condition, well run, great experience.

I played this course recently while entertaining a client and it was almost perfect. The course was in great shape, challenging enough but not an impossible test and the facility was run well by a friendly staff. The course provided a good experience from a business standpoint - the facility is relatively new and has a classy feel, without making me burn through my expenses budget and we finished in 4 hours. The only areas for improvement I'd suggest for management are; get some drinking water on the course (a free bottle in the cart is a nice touch but doesn't sustain for a full day in 90 degree weather), and get a beverage cart on the premises. We didn't see a cart gal all day.

Great!

For public play, as as good a value as you can get. Course is in great shape, greens reasonable speed, bunkers are the best I’ve played this year anywhere in the country! All three nines are equally in my book. All good.

No water on the course. Summer time!

The course is in good shape. No water on the course and no drink carts.?You are offered one bottle of water for 18 holes. Staff needs to be trained in customer service, especially when so many better options are available to avid golfers.?

No water on the course.

The course provides ONE bottle for 18 holes of play. The course is in good shape. However, for the price you can get better deals on Golf Now. The staff needs to be trained in customer service.

Nice course, weird cart rules

Nice course in good condition. Definitely recommend if you get it for a good price. At non-resident prices not sure it's fully worth the money. Greens are firm but not very fast. They're challenging as many greens slope away from from you

Only course I've ever played where I was told not to ride the rough with a cart. Can makes it tough / slow process to find your ball and the rule seems unnecessary. Not sure why every other course on the planet is fine with carts in the rough but this place isn't

Awesome as always

Top notch from A to Z.the guys in the pro shop were friendly, personable,and competent.the course as in great condition. Tees, fairways, greens, rough, bunkers, and rough were as good as most country clubs, and I have played Augusta, Shinnecock,Baltusrol, winged foot and many others.The cart girls were friendly and personable and we saw them 4 times during the round. They cancelled aeration that was scheduled for next week until October. Played in 4 hours.. my buddy made a hole in one, adding to another great experience at neshanic!
