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.

Cart broke down

We paid for a golf cart and it broke down hole 6. We called the office many times but no one ever bothered to answer. We then pushed it to the side of the hole and told them after we wrapped up the front 9. Instead of an apology or thanks, ranger jokingly said we probably broke it. Considering we had to carry all of our stuff, I was a bit baffled he’d make a comment like that. Would have a walked and used a push cart if I had known they were this accommodating. What a classy staff!

Good Course

A Good course. Not too long, not too short. Has a driving range. Pace of play was great. Started round at 3:30 and was done by 7:15. A minor shortcoming is that there is limited / no food or beverages available on the course.

Will be back

We started on the back, per the starters instruction.

It looks like that may be the case on Wednesdays .

The course is in excellent shape.

First time at QB this year, and it’s better than I remember it,

No water coolers on the course

Enjoyable course and good facilities

Enjoyable course with an above average pace of play. The driving range with a practice bunker was a nice touch. I hope to play again soon.
