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.

Aerification

Although they were aerated a few weeks ago, the greens were like putting on a burlap sack.

Great links course

Aération was made in mid August and the greens didn't get at their total recovery. 2weeks more and they should be perfect as usual.

Unfriendly staff

My friends and I arrive at the course early for our tee time we askef politely if we would be able to go out earlier the course adamantly refused to do so they were extremely rude and 100% I'm customer friendly doing this interaction I understand the policy however I thought they could've handled this matter 100% better than what they did.

Hard to find your ball in the Rough. Greens were bumpy and inconsistent.

Sunday afternoon behind untucked shirts

Course is in great shape, just starting to get warmer weather so the fairways were still lush and running, greens were fairly accepting and quick.

Love the course, but played behind two foursomes who were extremely slow. Frustrating to get any rhythm going when you're waiting on most shots.

The kicker was 17 on Meadow, literally waited 12 minutes on our approach into the green as our un-tucked knuckleheads searched for a lost ball. Play during the week, your timing will be much more acceptable.

Spring has Sprung

Finally got a Spring Day and looks like a lot more to come!

Neshanic is a great 27 hole track.

On 4/9, carts were allowed on the fairways, drainage from last weeks rain was very good, fairways were cut, and traps raked. Course looks like the greens were aerated a few weeks ago and while the greens were a little sandy and the grass was short and bristly, for this time of year after the spring we had, I'm not complaining!

Food in the grill was also very good! A fast ready to grab n go burger at the turn was just what the doctor ordered! Birdie, Birdie on 10&11 !

Nice country scenery makes Neshanic tough to beat!

Enjoy

Excellent course to hone your game.

The whole 27 holes will keep you challenged even if u are a single digit handicapper. Requires accurate distance especially on your short irons. If you go for the flag make sure you carry it long to avoid those green side bunkers.

Use range finder with a slope technology. It helps or just make sure you know your club distance, then no problem, now if only I can skip the putting part.
