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.

Show some respect

Terrific course. Excellent conditions for the most part. The carts are excellent, including GPS, however they do shut down when you enter a “ restricted area “. Some are many yards before the directional cart signs.. it does get frustrating when you have to back up, and at times the cart cut off while driving directly to the cart path,

A few of the fairways are chewed up. No fault of the course. (Inconsiderate)Players need to replace their divots. No water available on the course to refill a bottle and this is a place that used to provide complimentary bottles of water.

Beautiful and challenging 27 holes of public golf.

Three great nine hole public courses with beautiful scenery, excellent course layout, and challenging but still fun for average golfers. Courses are in excellent condition. Links style courses. Elevated tee boxes with wide fairways makes tee shots enjoyable. Greens roll true. Bunkers have nice powdery sand. Highly recommend going here if you haven't yet.

Better than some private courses

This course has is better than some private courses. The new carts alone set it apart. The carts have maps of the course with distances. And when you get near the green the map shows the prevailing breaks. The range and training area is better than most private clubs.

Always a pleasure - playing Neshanic

Great course!!

Only issue is that you cannot choose the 2/3 9 holes - they always give you Ridge & Lake..

Wanted to play Meadows & Ridge..

Overall the course is in great shape except a few greens which were really beat-up.

Pleasurable experience

It’s always a pleasure to play this course.

Just driving on Chubb Rd before the golf course entrance and seeing the course on the left almost gives me chills every time.

The course is nearly immaculate in my opinion.

The greens are a little “marked” up from unprepared ball marks, but everything else is really well maintained.

This is one golf course I don’t mind paying a higher price to play.

Definitely play here.

Stormy day at Neshanic

We could play only 7 holes before the storm arrived. Staff was cooperative enough in giving a rain check for 9 holes. We did go back and finished the front 9 after the rain. Was surprised to see the FWs in good conditions and Greens still rolling well enough after such heavy rains.

All in all a good round

First time impressions

First time playing Neshanic. Course conditions were very good. The course layout is fairly straight forward - wide fairways and not much elevation. Pace was ok after the first few holes of waiting 10 min on each tee box.

Nice large greens in very good condition.

Staff very professional and helpful.

Had a great cheesesteak after the round.

I'll keep this one in the rotation - but will only play early am based on pace of play experienced.
