Length 7065 yards
Slope 134
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.

Lake to Meadow

Always worth the drive to play here. Knew ahead of time that aeration started this week. Lake was done , Meadow gets aerated the next day. Still a challenge. Look forward to playing again.

Give out free ball mark repair tool

Course was beautiful as usual but this time the green were riddled with pitch marks which is sad that the public just ignore them. The course should mention fixing them at check in and maybe hand out free repair tools.

Great course, horrible staff

Neshanic is truly a beautiful course with different layouts for the 27 holes. Everything about this place is great except the staff. Extremely rude starter and staff inside the pro shop. I don’t come to play golf on a Friday to be met by disgruntled and rude staff. Fix it.

A different type of course

While a lot of courses test your putting, this one tests the rest of your game, offering difficult landing areas, testing your course management skills. Worth playing for an intermediate golfer.

Post IDA storm

I was very impressed with the course conditions after the storm.

There was zero drainage problems, soggy spots or any issues due to the rain a few days ago.

Amazing.

I love all 3 nine hole courses and prefer Meadow Lake combo.

However if you play Ridge enough club choice on certain holes

helps a lot. And of course when you choose the right club it makes the round more pleasurable.

My only complaints would be around the bar-restaurant as it does not make you want to stay and hang out.

They need to improve that for customers.

A beautiful course

Drove about 75 minutes based on a recommendation from a friend and it was completely worth it. This is one of the nicest courses I’ve ever played. I can’t think of anything but good things to say. Can’t wait to go back
