The 27-hole Neshanic Valley Golf Course is the flagship course of the Somerset County Park Commission system. The renowned design team of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry created the course. Divided into three nines known as the Lake, Ridge, and Meadow, the course provides three different 18-hole combinations. Each par-36 nine has five different sets of tees. The Meadow/Lake Course features ample amounts of fescue along both the fairways and greens. If you don't hit straight off the tees, you may find yourself in some trouble. There are cavernous bunkers framing the greens, which are also subtly sloped for even more of a challenge. The golf course begins and ends with water holes but you'll find environmentally sensitive wetland areas that come into play throughout. In addition to the 27-hole course, Neshanic Valley also has a nine-hole, par-32 Academy Course.

Slow

WE had a 10:35 tee time and we did not go off till 10:50. It was not the starter it was the pro or someone else who was so busy talking he forgot about us. We were sent out as a twosome among foursomes. There was a group on the course that were very slow and didn't care about playing slow. At one point they had 3 holes open in front of them. There were 3 groups waiting on a par three. The ranger drove right by them. When the group behind us complained to the ranger he finally told them to speed up. We were on pace for a 6 hour round so we skipped 2 holes to get ahead of them. When we talked the gentleman at the pro shop he was no help at all. This is a beautiful course but the inattentiveness of the staff made it a long and tedious day. It was sad because my son was shooting even par.

Course conditions were excellent. Would recommend playing. If anything negative is that the greens were healing from aeration. But still rolled very smooth. Price was good for being out of county.

Attention RANGERS NEEDED

While there were a lot of players out on this particular day there DID NOT seem to be any RANGER(s). . . Really a shame it could have been so much better and we could have been done at least 30 - 45i d earlier

Aeration special

Pro shop short staffed, seemed a bit disorganized. Wind was howling. Greens still coming back from aeration. Fairways good, tee boxes good, sand traps good.

Restaurant staff friendly but chicken sandwich while tasty was super messy, bacon limp and took a while.

Homemade chips nice!

This course is maintained well

One of my favorites to play. They have 3 9's so the pace is always nice. Well groomed and if you take a second to look around its a beautiful course. I highly recommend it

Great Experience

Partner and I came on a rainy day. The course drains really well. We played Ridge/Meadow.. meadow is definitely the easier of the 9. But both in great shape and require challenging shots

Love this place!

One of my favorites along side Bally Owen but is half the price and half the distance and just as good! Always in great condition and having 27 holes really allows them to control the pace of play, along side having Marshall’s that actually do something!

Nice but…

I haven’t played Neshanic Valley GC in about five years . I remember it to be well kept and lush. This August day the greens were a little beat up and very dry. Same could be said for the rough and fairways , which I would describe as crispy.

Pace of play was not good. We waited on every hole, but we were a threesome, but still we waited probably 5 minutes at every shot.

It took us 4 1/2 hours to finish.

I would play again for comparison.
