Rating 73.6

Neshanic Valley Golf Course is a 27-hole layout that sprawls across 420 acres of rolling farmland. It is the flagship course of the five-course Somerset County Park Commission system. The design team of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry crafted the layout, which is divided into three nines called the Lake, Ridge, and Meadow. The nines can be played in different 18-hole combinations. The Lake/Ridge Course, as the name would imply, starts out with a few water holes. In addition to the lakes on the front nine, environmentally sensitive wetland areas come into play throughout. The fairways and greens are bordered by ample fescue and the putting surfaces are closely guarded by strategically placed bunkers. Neshanic Valley also offers a nine-hole, par-32 Academy Course, which is great for beginners.

Neshanic always delivers...

Was a warm January day that just kept getting colder and windier as the day progressed.. Course was in good shape for winter time and the crowd was light... This course will challenge you with water on Lake and gaps of fescue on Meadow... always a friendly staff and the pace of play in winter as usual is fast...definitely in my winter rotation and the price for the course is well worth it...

Bonus winter golf

A great 50 degree sunny winter day after a lot of rain made for a soft but challenging golf course. Cart paths only and a crowded group of golfers made the course play a bit slow but that’s understandable for this great weather on December 29th at a fun link’s style layout .
