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.

Difficult but fun course in great condition

Neshanic Valley is always fun to play. The course is generally in great shape except that some of the sand traps are a little lacking in sand. Otherwise, the greens, fairways, and tee boxes are all in excellent shape.

The course is pretty difficult - it plays long for the average golfer (10 - 20 handicap). Despite the length, I always enjoy playing the course.

Always love playing here but greens not fully recovered from aeration. Bit bumpy.

Beautiful course. Played a little bit slow and no rangers out but sort of expected on a public course on a Saturday. Biggest knock would be I wish they had sand on the carts and sand at the tee boxes. Not good juju walking away from divots on tee boxed and fairways without putting some sand back. But overall course is in great shape. Last note cart girl was only allowed to serve beers.. and only came around once.

Okay overall.

The greens were just aerated and very difficult to putt. There was no beverage, and alcoholic beverages were only allowed to be consumed at the bar in the clubhouse,

I would recommend this course, but not with the current condition of the greens.

Notice aeration

There was an aeration on Thursday, and a large holes and sands were covered on the green, but Golf Now didn't notice it.

Great as always

Played between rain storms. 2.5 hours. Barely anyone there. NOT cart path only because they have the best drainage system in the world. Fantastic shape. Please don’t go…it will make it harder for me to get a tee time!!!!!
