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.

Great staff, greens could be better

Been playing here for years. Staff is doing a great job especially in the pandemic environment. Layout and views as good as it gets for central jersey. However, this year the greens have been extremely slow. Could be that the humid weather requires keeping height a little higher. But when downhill puts are not rolling out, it gets frustrating. Hope they can get the greens back to previous form.

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!!!

Always in good shape. Great staff, and have been terrific during pandemic. My favorite in the area. Obviously, best of the county rota.

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.
