Neshanic Valley Golf Course is a 27-hole layout that sprawls across 420 acres of rolling farmland. It is the flagship course of the five-course Somerset County Park Commission system. The design team of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry crafted the layout, which is divided into three nines called the Lake, Ridge, and Meadow. The nines can be played in different 18-hole combinations. The Lake/Ridge Course, as the name would imply, starts out with a few water holes. In addition to the lakes on the front nine, environmentally sensitive wetland areas come into play throughout. The fairways and greens are bordered by ample fescue and the putting surfaces are closely guarded by strategically placed bunkers. Neshanic Valley also offers a nine-hole, par-32 Academy Course, which is great for beginners.

Beautiful layout

Beautiful course, rough was not forgiving, greens in great shape. Very helpful staff. Too bad the restaurant is only open for events, couldn’t get a drink after playing.

Good Golf Facility

This is a very good public golf facility with good value. This time of year can be challenging with conditions as the greens were slower than normal. The only drawbacks are they allow players who have no business being out there especially from the tees they select to play, i.e. beginning golfers and golfers who are not very good topping shots on the tee and hitting two more attempts on every hole. There was no ranger to police any of this. Also the starter on the tee is not good at his job and doesn't know how to manage the tee sheet or flow acknowledging golfers as they check in with him and or to get them out to play. No one wants to start their round with a sour puss.

Excellent

The courses get a lot of play. Justifiably so.
The only negatives — ball marks on the greens.
So many. So rude and irresponsible that players do not fix /repair .
And
Divots in the fairways. It’s not that hard to replace the turf.

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.
