Colts Neck Golf Club is one of central New Jersey's most popular courses. The diverse course offers everything from Scottish-style bunkers to sparkling lakes. Tall golden fescue rough borders the fairways and the greens are large and undulating. The course is seemingly short at only 6,236 yards but it shouldn't be taken lightly. It's much more challenging than it appears. The layout finishes with two of its toughest holes. The 17th has a tough green fiercely guarded by out-of-bounds and the course saved the most difficult hole for last. This par 3 will test even the most seasoned golfers. In addition to the golf course, Colts Neck also has a 25-station driving range that stays open late. It's a great spot for getting in some practice after work.

Top notch

Second time playing the course.
Some of the bunkers were hard others muddy.
But it rained in the morning So I guess that’s to be expected.
Since this is one of the higher priced courses we play in the state, complimentary range balls would be nice.
Just a suggestion.

Fun Track

Staff was excellent.
Course was fun but very short.
Holes can back up due to the short yardage.
Would play it again but not at the high rate.

Repair your ball marks

People playing this course need to learn how to repair their ball marks on the greens...every green had dozens of them. Not the course's fault, but it was like putting through a minefield. Other than that, course was in very good condition, it will be even better when the two tee boxes under repair are back in use. Always enjoy playing Colts Neck, I'll be back.

Terrible Golf Course, Robbery

I’ve played this course 3 times the past couple years. $65 for this course a few years ago is what it is worth. No way that this course should be charging $105 for temporary tee boxes in the rough. The course wants carts in by 7pm, which is an hour and a half before dark, seems like the staff just wants to go home. This course is terribly run, we were behind 3 groups of high school girls who would not let us play through. Coach was very rude and didnt care about trying to keep pace as much as he could. Tee times should not be allowed after high school practice begins.Will not return. Oh did I mention the three 12 year old boys hanging out on the course running around stealing golf balls off the fairway and standing in front of the 18 tee box collecting balls from the lake. No management here whatsoever

Course needs some work

The course has a few interesting holes. The conditions were not up to what a semi-private course should be.. Several holes had tees in the rough in front of the tee box because the tees were being redone or had other problems. This made a couple of short par 5s play more like long par 4s. The greens were speckled due to an infiltration of weeds.
We passed some players who were waiting around for 30 minutes because their cart conked out. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to get them a usable cart. A cart in our group needed a push to get home after playing the 18th.
