Neshanic Valley Golf Course - Lake/Ridge Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Greens aerated
Greens recently aerated, very bumpy and rolling at 4 maybe. Not that hard to put the “recovery conditions” notification on, annoyed I had to play on terrible greens on a rare Friday off.
Excellent Experience
Great course felt like I was in Ireland or Scotland. Terrific staff and the course was in perfect condition. Loved the experience and will go back to play.
Nice Day of Golf
Played Meadow and Ridge, Lake was being aerated, Meadow and Ridge the next 2 days. Course in great shape but greens were beat up with lots of ball marks, my thinking it was a good time to aerate them.
Fantastic
This is a public course which presents itself as a private course- conditions were fantastic- from the tee box’s, fairways, bunkers and greens. Well done Neshanic,,
VERY HOT
While it was NEAR 100 degrees they decided it was ok to send the cart girls home at 4pm of course we DID NOT see at all from our 1:30 start time
The course was in better than decent shape and the staff was their usual spot on and professional.
It really is common sense to leave someone available to service the courses in such harsh temp conditions
Fun Morning Round of Golf
I walked out as a single as paired with 2 senior men and one female single not knowing what to expect. The pro shop attendant and the starter were very nice people. The people I played with were very friendly and we had a fun round of golf. The course was in great shape and we finished the round in less than 4.5 hours. I am visiting from out of state and will come back and play this course the next time I am visiting the area.
Excellent course
This is an excellent course that is worth the drive and the money spent. Always well maintained.
Top notch
Great course- great staff and food after our round
Neshanic
We drive up from northeast philly cause we really like it. Fair but challenging. Especially if u play from right tees
Local golfer
Pace of play was the worst I've ever encountered there. No ranger. I seen a foursome on the 16th hole take 24 minutes to complete a short par 4 while 2 groups were waiting on the tee box behind them. No etiquette! Need a ranger. First 9 was an hour and 40 minutes. The second 9 was 3 hours. Should not happen!
