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.

Nice layout, 18 different holes

Found the course thru Golfnow and really enjoyed the experience. The staff was very friendly which always sets the tone for the day. The front nine was fairly straight forward, some nice scoring holes and some tight ones to make you think. The back nine was a real treat, tight, hills, pretty holes that made you work to score well. Must be pretty accurate off the tee, the greens were in great shape and made you read them properly or pay the price. Will return every chance I get.

Bombers Delight

A lot of wide open fairways. Grip it and rip it. Fairways and greens were in very good condition. I got the hot deal from GolfNow and it is a great value. Played the gold tees. I am looking forward to playing it again.

All aspects f the course were great. Great greens and better than average fairways. Only thing that could be better is signage in some holes.

Fun and challenging

The course condition was fairly good. The tee box was not maintained well but the green condition was fair and quick. The course was moderately challenging which fit my skills and required thinking around the course. There were a lot of uphill tee shots on the back 9 which made the course more difficult. Each hole had its distinct features which made it fun to play throughout the round. I will go again for sure.

Excellent opportunity to work on short irons...

Short, and sometimes tight. Great opportunity to work on hitting fairways and approach irons. Course requires more strategic approach, particulary the par 5s. Greens well-maintained for a county course. Really pleased with the friendly staff. Onlty drawback might be that more beginners play the course and can potentially slow the pace. That said, would play again for sure.

A basically positive experience, with a few negatives.

The course was well maintained and clean. The starter was very helpful and accommodating. Be careful of an afternoon tee time - Look at the course web site to see when leagues play. They had a league that started on hole ten at 4pm, forcing us to play holes 1-9 twice rather than waiting behind several foursomes at the turn. Our tee time got us through the first nine at 4:15, so we had a choice of waiting, or playing the front again. The course had water on the course - but in a cooler, sold on the honor system - I think water should be provided.

Decent for the Hot Deal Price

Course is a little chewed up, especially the tee boxes. Course is a mix of challenging holes that have minimal room to miss, and others that can be had very easily. Get it for the cheap price, and it's worth a go.

Relatively easy course, but very few people on for a Saturday in June. Never ran into anyone in front or behind us. I would recommend this for any skill level of golfer.
