Length 6372 yards
Slope 127
Rating 71.1

Warrenbrook Golf Course is one of five courses operated by the Somerset County Park Commission. Although it is a seemingly mild 6,372 yards from the back tees, don't let the yardage fool you. This course is a formidable test. The layout is very tight, routed through dense stands of mature trees that loom above the fairways and frame the greens. In addition to being heavily wooded, the rolling terrain provides many tricky ups and downs ranging from subtle to dramatic. You'll be hard-pressed to find a flat lie on this golf course and you should also be prepared for a few blind shots. To top it all off, there are also a few strategically placed bunkers. Your accuracy will be put to the test at Warrenbrook Golf Course, as will your course-management skills.

Beautiful mountain style course with tight tree lined fairways

Beautiful mountain style course with tight tree lined fairways.
This course isn't terribly long but certainly not short either. It does require you be accurate and not wide since there isn't much room off the fairways and trees will gobble up your ball. I love it though. I find it to be challenging in a great way. Not too much water but there are well placed bunkers.

Classic Tree Lined Course

The course is very pretty in the fall with the many trees lining the fairways but also makes it more challenging to find balls hiding under leaves. So, I would suggest playing before the leaves fall. The course was not crowded (maybe because it was fall so we played 18 holes in 3 hours and 40 minutes - great pace of play). I hit the ball straight so I enjoyed the course but if you have a slice or hook, you won't like the tree lined fairways.

The course has a number of holes with blind shots to the greens but that made it more interesting. For the men playing from the back tee on the 2nd hole, there is a lookout platform (next to the tee box) so your partner can watch where your ball lands. For the second shot, from the fairway, there is a " sliver star" nailed on a tree (behind the green) so you can aim at it for your shot onto the middle of the green.

The negative for the course is the yardage on the Par 3s from the forward tees. Hole 4 is 152 yards and hole 6 is 170 yards; which means most women must use a driver - that is poor course design for forward tees on par 3s. Also, the 17th hole approach shot to the green is over water, which means you have to layup if you are not long off the tee; so it plays like a par 5 for women (not a par 4).

The course does not take you back to the club house at the turn so make sure to take water and snacks. There is a vending machine by the 10th hole.

Overall it is a nice course and has a classic New England feel. For me, the course had a mix of easy holes and challenging holes which is why I rate it somewhat challenging. I like some challenge so I like this course.

great time

The greens were awesome. The par 5's were a little too difficult for my liking. Big dog legs with over hanging trees made them impossible

Mixed feelings about blind shots and surprises

In all, this course is a good value. As everybody else says about this course, there are many "surprises," if you do not know the course well. Blind shots, sloping fairways. You expect your ball in the center of the fairway only to find that your ball rolls off into the bush. This is the norm of this course. Is the course fair? I let everyone else judge. Fun place to play, though.

Like it, or Hate it...

You have about those two options on this course -- like it or hate it. I happen to like it. A lot. Very tight and tree-lined. Definitely not a bomber's course. Can't play fairway to fairway here, but hit your spots and you will have a nice card to show for it.

Greens were a little slow, but nothing that couldn't be resolved with a little extra attention.

Staff always a pleasure here. If they can get you right out they will, if not they will tell you so.

Nothing at the turn, save for a soda machine, so put a Power Bar in your bag if you think you might get the hungries.

Thumbs up, for me.

Not a bad little course

Had fun, but some of the fairways were chopping. Too often hitting off patchy grass or dirt. Some decent water challenges and fun par-3s. Good for the average golfer, but better players might not find it difficult enough. One problem would be the blind shots. Way too many of them.

A fun tight course

This was a fun day. The course conditions were good and so was the pace of play. My group wasn't fast but we weren't rushed and we were teeing off just as the twosome in front of us got off most greens. The only thing lacking was food/snacks on the course and bug spray. There were a lot of gnats were hanging around the greens which was annoying but not intolerable. Over all it was a very fun day.

Got a great price through Golfnow.com
I had a teetime but the course was not busy, so I started early. As usual, the staff were very friendly. I played in less than 3 1/2 hours as I was by myself and no-one was ahead of me.

Nothing spectacular, but enjoyable

Nothing spectacular about the course facilities or conditions, but I enjoy this course enough to keep as an option for a "local" course to me. Overall course conditions were pretty good. Teeboxes, fairways and greens were all in satisfactory conditions (i.e. no issues with dirt teeboxes, or fairway lies, etc). I like this course because of the variety of hole setups, and need to be accurate off the tee.

"Trade Round"

If you have what they call a "trade round" be prepared to wait. My guess is that what they call a hot deal time. We arrived at 2:10 for a 2:40 tee time, and were told we had to wait until 2:40 to tee off even though NOBODY was there and NO ONE went off before us. To say the staff is surly would be a compliment.

Golf advisor is not what it seems

The course was a do again success, but I will never use Golf Advisor again. In error I was locked into the maximum course rate. The clerk was unable to correct it even though I am obviously a senior and we walked. $20 more than I should have paid!

Is play here again

Challenging course for me where I'm trying to gain shot consistency and better my mid 90s average. There are a bunch of different hole setups and distances to make things interesting and test one's shot shaping ability. Fairways are wide enough for beginners with hazards, greens and course layout to be challenging. I may have used every club in my bag except for my 3W. I'd play here again to test myself. My only request throughout the day was a beverage cart trolling through the holes. Otherwise it's a great value.
