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.

Nice time

Played ridge / lake. Nice combination. Course was in very good shape and the green were rolling. Meadow was getting a little backed up so starter have us the option to switch to lake and the place was excellent.

We grabbed something to eat at the course and they only offered burgers or dogs. The burgers left some to be desired as they were small and overcooked.

Golf was good and if recommend a pass on the food.

Great Course But...

For me, this has always been one of NJs finest. The entire course is well kept. Greens are in very good condition but not very fast, I wish they were faster. The rather large issue I have with the course is the rough. There is no intermediate cut, just fairway then rough, and the rough is punitive. It is very thick and long. Many good drives that just trickle off can find the rough. I mentioned this to the personnel at the course, who by the way possess the typical Jersey attitude, and they said, "tell it to stop raining". My reply to that, is this the first wet spring/summer in the history of man? Furthermore, does your lawnmower not work anymore? I would actually rather hit from the tall fescue. Hard to complain about a course that is so well kept but this is my review!

Best County course in NJ, no question

After a few inches of rain last night it wasn’t even cart path only and the course was in unbelievable shape, to be honest It probably should’ve been CPO but hats off to the maintenance staff
