Neshanic Valley Golf Course - Lake/Ridge Course
 
        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.

5:10 Round
Title says it all. Pace of play is a nightmare here and they don’t do anything about it. After my 2:35 front 9 I said something and the response was “it’s a full tee sheet”. Absurd
Where’s the signage?
I was the passenger, my friend drove the cart,
Way too many times the cart entered restricted areas, Some were no exaggeration, 30-40 yards from the green. There’s a need for no carts signs. Without them the cart was prohibited from entering an area without warning.
Having to back up., etc, it got frustrating.
That aside, —- excellent course, the best of the Somerset Co. Courses .
There are no water stations on the course to refill your water bottle. This is a course which used to provide free bottles of water before you start your round
Always hard to believe it's public
One of the top courses anywhere in fantastic shape and reasonable
Great Course
Hard to get a tee time but so worth it when you are here. They were ahead of schedule so they pushed groups of 2 which didn't help pace of play and if they would have held a group or two for 5 mins itnwould have lessened the pressure on the course . . . Just my overview . . .
A great value
You can’t play courses as well kept as this for under $100 these days and that’s what you have. Always a great track and practice facilities are top notch
The only reason why I didn't give a 5 star for the conditions is because of the greens .
It was worth the 2 hour drive
Always a treat to play here
Been playing here for over 15+ years. The greens were a bit slow because of recent aeration. Give it a week, should be in great shape.
