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.

First Time Playing

Outstanding value!

My first time and I'm hooked (poor golf term). I already am coming back Monday! The quality of the facility, the practice area and obviously the shape of the course is amazing. For a public course, better than 80% of the private courses around the state I have played.

Well done staff!!

Good day

This was the first time playing the lake course. It was rather nice and the weather held out so we could finish our rounds without being reasoned on. Hitting out of the rough was difficult as it is rather think.

We also stayed to eat after the round and were pleasantly surprised. They had enough on the menu to choose from and the food was alright.

Pristine conditions, great pace, excellent value!

Key word “VALUE”, now granted I played on a Monday, but 3 of us played in under 4 hours (none of us broke the course record). The conditions were mint. Biggest surprise, as a frequent public facility player, was the bunkers. Sure that means I was in there more than I cared to be, but the sand was soft, consistent, and RAKED! So compliments to the staff and fellow golfers. The greens rolled perfectly (not my stroke), there were virtually no visible ball marks. Fairways, I probably could’ve taken a nap. So you get my point, tremendous facility, oh a grass driving range also. For me, the value is nearly impossible to beat. Will be back!

Beautiful New Jersey course

Certainly the most beautiful public course in NJ and nicer than many private courses that I have played. There is a terrific warm up practice range and a great practice green. The fairways and greens are in excellent shape. You will find very playable conditions almost any time, even after a couple of days of rain. Neshanic never disappoints.

I live outside of this county. But I joined Somerset County as a non resident because Somerset County courses are usually in great shape. I love Neshanic Valley. It is a super nice course, but a little pricey for the average person.

PGA Championship Saturday

Our club played today on the 1st sunny Saturday. It was worth the weight. The rough was up and the fairways pristine. We felt like we had our own championship. No complaints whatsoever regarding the course. Since it's a composite, we played Ridge/Lake. 1 suggestion, water every few holes would be good.. the staff was cool. We even got a lost club back.

The clubhouse was slammed with traffic but it was handled professionally. I ordered the grilled chicken. The marinade came through in the cooking. Best I've had. Kudos
