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.

GOOD AND NOT GOOD

Ten AM tee time on a beautiful but very windy day. The course was great as usual. Five hour round. The staff did not make any attempt to speed up play that I could see.

When it is crowded, this course should not allow walkers.

Awesome Time

Great course, fabulous condition. Staff was friendly and helpful. Conditions were awesome, firm smooth greens, flawless fairways. Pace of play a bit slow, but a small outing backed things up a bit. Staff was friendly and helpful, good tips from the starter on some of the intricacies of the course. Excellent value for a top quality venue!

Great course! But staff not so much.

I walked in for 10AM tee time. The person in the counter did even say Good Morning or welcome. I asked can I use the range"range is closed" that's it. He then tells me that are mowing it. It's 10AM!!! Why are they cutting the grass on the range knowing there are many people waiting to use the range.

*** I then realized the whole day they had workers cutting the grass, fixing bunkers, all through out the time we were playing.

I just don't understand how they can't do it earlier in the morning like other courses.

Other then that, the Ranger was good, course was great, but the guy working behind the counter needs to change his attitude.

Be straight!

A very nice course. Probably the best county course in the area. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent shape and well maintained. Greens were a little slower today than in the past but true.

Course layout is quite nice with some challenging holes thrown in. The first cut of rough is quite high and second shots will depend on how your ball lies. The fescue is almost impossible to hit out of. You better hit straight on this course or there will be a lot of lost balls!

Overall a good day out and a good test of golf.

Great weekend morning on the links

The course is in great shape. We played the Meadow and Lake 9s on a Saturday morning in under 4 hours. The course was in great shape - greens rolled true, fairways were healthy, green, and well maintained. We played the gold tees which play at 6,645 yards. A very challenging course but not overly punishing. Many tee shots are fairly open which helps inspire confidence when needing a big drive on a long hole. Overall it was a great day of golf.

Slow play

Front 9 on Ridge took 2:25 minutes...ridiculous. While able to get full 18 in before sunset, it was a slow and frustrating pace of play.
