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.

Decent County course

The course is not great, but it is decent and is worth playing. The course conditions were fairly good for October, and the greens were well-maintained although quite slow. The biggest problem with this course is the pace of play. There is no ranger on the course, and the beginners in the foursome in front of my group slowed everything down. The course has no real amenities other than a vending machine. There is no beverage cart. For a no-frills experience, it provides a reasonable test, although the course is quite short, particularly on part 3 holes. Too often, the par 4's are a driver wedge combination. It would be better if you were compelled to use your mid irons more often.

Enjoyable Course

Tale of different nines. Front nine is beautiful and if you have played it, it will remind you of Charleston Springs South. The back nine is much harder and more hilly.

Great conditions.

Very nice golf course. A step above the nearby Rutgers Golf Course and Spooky Brook.

Nice track

Nice course in very good condition from the tee boxes to the greens, bunkers in fantastic shape. My only issue is the pace of the greens, they are frustratingly SLOW. They are perfect and roll smooth but

they definitely need to lower the mover blades a couple notches.

Nice county course

I had not played Quail Brook in over 25 years. Course conditions were great. Front 9 more open and back nine hilly and more challenging. Out of county rate 54 walking is comparable to what I pay in county at most Monmouth County. courses. On back 9 you will definitely get your steps in. Pace of play was great! Played early morning.
