Neshanic Valley Golf Course - Lake/Ridge Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Excellent shape
Played ridge/meadow and it was in great shape. Pace of play was great 3 hours and forty minutes
This is a very good course...
The course was in excellent condition and the greens were very good as well. The pace of play was also very good for a Friday. There is alot of high grass and fescue so if you miss the green or miss the fairway you will lose some balls. Also, I felt it was a little pricey. Overall a a great day of golf, worth a try.
Want to play here every week
Great course. Every single time I played, condition is great, course is pretty, and challenges my game.
Rainy day so green was not as fast as last time but still rolls pure and punishes misshots.
Great conditions
Beautiful, 3 9 hole course. Conditions were great, the course was manicured perfectly.
Must play
Always in great condition one of my favorite courses
Disappointed
Been playing here for years. This season things have gone downhill. The staff is rude and unaccomodating. It always was to a degree. Is it too much to expect a clean cart without someone’s used mask and leftover m&ms these days?? How about a scorecard? On a $70 weekday round?? Get it together guys!
Course is ok shape. Great layout and an enjoyable round if you can get passed the lack of service and if you get service don’t expect it with a smile!
Amazing!
Play here, just play here. I haven't been to this course in a few years, and it was as awesome as I remembered. Course conditions are great, and the grass driving range is awesome. Once on the golf course, you do not feel like you're in New Jersey. You feel like you are playing Osprey Point in Boca Raton, Florida, or somewhere in the Carolinas.
Top public course in New Jersey For sure. Ranks with Heron Glen, and Knoll West.
Amazing course
This is hands down one of the best public courses I have played anywhere. I was in New Jersey on vacation and went on a recommendation. Some of the best views and golfing of my life.
