Rating 71.6

Quail Brook Golf Course in Somerset is one of central New Jersey's top public courses. The challenging design is a favorite amongst local golfers. The layout has a diverse mix of holes, some of which are spacious and wide-open and others that are rolling and tight. Although the golf course may seem short at 6,630 yards from the back tees, don't be fooled by the yardage. The course can feel much longer thanks to the hilly terrain. The front nine has subtler undulations while the back nine is dramatically hilly, which makes it a tough course to walk. Quail Brook Golf Course's undulating fairways lead to challenging sloped greens that are framed with strategically placed bunkers. There aren't too many opportunities for driving, but your short game will definitely get a workout.

Never see so many bad golfers in one place!!!!

Course was painfully slow but there wasn’t a ranger to be found the whole day

Two groups on the tee not uncommon here!!?

Extra Shots, They should have taken the buckets out and called the course a Driving Range….

Flawless victory

Played the Quail Brook a few times in the past and all I can say is this course is one of the top 10 public courses in NJ. Staff is positive and helpful course is immaculate. If you have never played here please make this your next golf destination, you will not be disappointed.

This course is decent

Can't say it's beautiful but it was decent. There's no water on the entire course and there's also nobody driving around offering drinks or snacks. That was a little disappointing since it was like 90° not including the humidity. You'd think they would have water at maybe every four holes. Nothing. Covid is over so bring the water back. Charging $84 for a Sunday for a round so you'd think they'd at least have water on the course. Maybe one day I hope
