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.

Not the old Colts neck

Course was in need of upgrading. Greens were burned and poorly maintained. Tea boxes as well had overgrowth. Overall condition of the course was not conducive for a private club. All of the local county courses a far superior to this course. It is a real shame how much discourse has deteriorated

Good course, but not great value.

The course is a decent setup - shorter but tricky fast greens. Everything but the greens were well maintained. There is a decent amount of overlap with holes feeling on top of other holes. Two different greens share the same greenside bunker which is asking for someone to get hurt. I would play here again but not for the price and being a non member gives no food or drink amenities but that’s not as much their fault. Probably will go back for the range only.

Course was in excellent condition. Layout was a little confusing. They should more clearly, and boldly indicate hole locations. Staff was incredible. Gorgeous course. Very happy to play here again

Colts neck cc

Played here many times. Every time the members cut holes to get out of backed up holes which delays the flow of the game. The staff does nothing about it.

Conditions have improved

Conditions were much better than when i played last June.

The course is mediocre and not at the level of the monmouth county courses.

But the golfnow hotdeal and reward savings made it a reasonable value for a change of pace. Certainly not worth the $80 to $100 they want in the summer.

Impressive

Interesting layout. Fair test. First timer If your driver is working (mine wasn’t) one can get around pretty well.
Greens were in good condition for Nov. Fair ways were good so were . Bunker remediation was in process.
Definitely a replay.

Confusing layout for a first time player

Course was great and greens were excellent.
Better signage is needed to point to next holes.

Quality

Leaves can be a problem this time of year.
Excellent job of keeping the fairways clean and only a couple of the greens had leaves .
The course is in fine shape
We play many NJ courses. This one rates near the top

First Time Playing

Layout is confusing for the initial round

Playing this course solo for the first time presented some challenges, especially trying to find hole 12.
Luckily I joined up with a friendly group on hole13.
Walking this course was a task but doable.
The greens were excellent but I repaired several ball marks left by previous players.
Overall, the course was enjoyable to play and now that the inital round is inder my belt, I look forward to playing it again.

Impressive golf experience

Surrounded by multi-million dollars houses, the sprawling green course fits in nicely. This time of year you can expect maintenence issues to detract from the beauty, a bit. A player's course. Greens are huge. As with other courses, pin placement and green undulations are most challenging. There was no food available for us, so, bring your own. Just one bathroom on the 12TH. I'd say it ranks with Sun Eagles and Eagle Ridge. A bit pricey for me. A 10% discount for seniors. Definitely worth a try.

Aeration

Nice course. Courtesy extended by all personnel. Would have preferred to be informed that aeration was in progress on many holes which made some short shots from the green impossible due to innumerable plugs.
