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.

Great course in need of a marshal

We traveled to play here for only the second time, and it was even nicer than we remembered. The course is very fair, but not without its challenges, and the conditions were very good for late August. We enjoyed going off as a twosome, until quickly encountering a very slow foursome ahead of us. Despite being well behind any gofers in front of them, we were not able to play through, thereby requiring patience waiting to hit from the first hole until the last. Still, I would not hesitate to return or recommend the course to others.

Rider Fee Snafu

Checked multiple Golf Courses just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind....charging full price for a 7 year old that is not playing is a joke! Rider Fees are acceptable, but to charge full price is flat out taking advantage! I have been playing Golf for decade, so I know what is standard across the board! Never, I mean never have I been so insulted and embarrassed in front of my 7 year old. She was dress appropriately, she wasn't going to take a single shot on the course, and you would have made up that difference at the consession stand with me buying overpriced candy/soda/food! You guys took my prepaid Green Fees and basically said "F" off we have our money! You guys are a joke ! No I would not recommend this course due to there unwillingness to meet industry standards regarding Rider Fees! How are you going to make golf welcoming to the kids if you show your unwillingness to welcome them!

Unrealistic

I have been golfing for years and I always bring my daughter who is 7. I always pay companion fee of maybe 15/25. They wanted to charge me full price. Unrealistic!

Very Nice Course!

Walked 18 with two friends starting on-time at 2:40. Course conditions were excellent! Pace of play was very good. Tee boxes and greens were in very nice shape. No food/drink cart on course. Wouldn't walk 18 again (too much distance between holes. Will definitely play here again...with a cart.

Junior PGA EVENT

Monday had a Junior PGA Event. This course was in prestige condition. Fairways, greens are almost to perfection. Those sand bunkers were fluffy and very easy to get out of.

We sure had a great time.
