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.

Great layout.

My only complaint this course with this course is that it is not closer to my home. The elevated tee boxes and wide fairways coupled with smooth greens make for a great day of golf. Bring a steel spike to get your tee started as many of the tee boxes are slightly frozen just below the ground surface.

Hard to find any better

Hot deal price was excellent.

Course conditions for late November were very good.

Layout is always challenging with a premium on shot making.

If the wind is blowing, hang onto your hat !

Excellent course, but normal price is high

Neshanic Valley is a county owned golf course with near-Country Club conditions. The greens, fairways, sand traps, and rough are all in excellent condition. Most tee boxes are in great condition with some a little chewed up - still really good, but not excellent condition.

One bad aspect is that the starters are not allowed to let GolfNow players tee off early. Even if the tee is empty for several tee times before your assigned tee time, they are supposed to hold you until your assigned tee time.

Fix your ballmarks people!

Greens were just punched and dressed with sand, but, that's no excuse not to repair ball marks. In fact because the greens were softer the resulting ball marks looked like craters on the moon and easy to see. Show some respect, don't be clowns.

2nd Time Back

I played here one time last year and always wanted to come back. Got a HotDeal on Golf Now, so this was my chance. Played Meadow/Ridge, Meadow I played last year, Ridge was new to me, I enjoyed it. Was told Blue tees equal to white so we played off them, had alot of long 2nd shots all day, think I'll move up to silver next time. Aeration warning when I took tee time, but they were working on the other 9 this day, our 9's were scheduled for the next days. Greens were great and challenging. Loved the $4 foot long hot dog too.
