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.

Average course

I used to hear how beautiful and nice the Neshanic Course is, and believe it or not i wasn’t that much impressed at all!

There are no bathrooms on the course, there is absolutely no shade on the course, and they had chips for sales for food. As far as I’m concerned this place is a money and a ball trap!!!

One of the finest courses in NJ

Neshanic Valley is a top notch course that will not disappoint.

Pace of play was good. Played a fair number of courses in the Tri state area and this is one of the few courses with bunkers that were actually playable. Greens were in good condition. Overall a very good experience.

A great place to play

A very nice layout...visually very appealing. Greens are not that challenging, which helps with pace of play on a County course. The staff is very friendly. Word to the wise: be straight off the tee because the environmental areas will eat you up otherwise!

Great course

Neshanic is a challenging course that’s always in great condition. Play from the tees that match your handicap or it will be too difficult. Stay out of the fescue or you’ll have a long day! Staff always pleasant.

A Fun Links-y Course in Good Condition

Neshanic Valley GC offers a visually appealing links-style golf course that's well maintained and a very good value.

This was my first Hurdzan/Fry designed course and found it very appealing with nice wide-open fairways, some different angles to play from, and fair greens.

Overall the conditions were also very good with nice even and thick rough, lush fairways, and greens that rolled true, despite being slower than normal (apparently) from aeration a few weeks back.

The starter was thorough in his pre-round overview (there was a lot of COVID-19 restrictions to go over) and overall I found the round to be a good value. Would definitely come back and play here again, I'm curious to see how the faster greens would play differently.
