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.

Nice layout, greens are too slow

It felt like i was putting on the fairway with the greens. The course is beautiful though so i'll take it. The 4some behind us hit into our group a few times which was rude.

Two things to consider if that happens, one, call the pro shop and ask that a ranger come out and toss the jerks off the course, or hit the ball back at the person who hit into your group, sometimes 2 wrongs make a right.

I've played the course before, I'm cheap and thought I got a great deal for a twilight time which is what I like. Played in 3 hours by myself and only took that long because of rain it was cart path only. All 3 nines have nice mixture of challenges. Play from the right tees and it could be fun or torture! Only problem I had was there was no place to get even a drink of water. Was afraid to take my meds thinking i would choke. BRING WATER! Great staff!

Great course, first time playing here in about 2 months, always a pleasure. Arrived a little early and let me go off as a single. Two other guys joined me and had a great time. Only complaint, many of the greens had many ball marks, wish people would fix their marks. One of my favorite NJ courses in that area and always in great shape. Highly recommend playing.

Couldn't ask for a better course

Finally made it here and I will be returning soon. Every hole was in great shape as if it was the beginning of the year. Tee boxes were well maintained. Fairways were perfect, greens were ideal. Fescue was recently cut so even those bad shots that got away, I was able to find. I can see the fescue being a serious issue when they are higher but that's a player's issue. Great views all around. Will be back soon.
