Quail Brook Golf Course in Somerset is one of central New Jersey's top public courses. The challenging design is a favorite amongst local golfers. The layout has a diverse mix of holes, some of which are spacious and wide-open and others that are rolling and tight. Although the golf course may seem short at 6,630 yards from the back tees, don't be fooled by the yardage. The course can feel much longer thanks to the hilly terrain. The front nine has subtler undulations while the back nine is dramatically hilly, which makes it a tough course to walk. Quail Brook Golf Course's undulating fairways lead to challenging sloped greens that are framed with strategically placed bunkers. There aren't too many opportunities for driving, but your short game will definitely get a workout.

Great Course

As a Monmouth County resident I’m spoiled with an excellent park system. But when I can’t get a tee time locally I always enjoy Quail Brook.

Great Time

Course was in good shape for January. The weather cooperated as well. Staff was extremely nice. A special shout out to the starter Max, who went above and beyond the call of duty 👍💥⛳.

Amazing day

Quail Brook is one of my favorite courses in NJ and to be able to play on December 30th and be warm, it was great. The course is in great shape and besides the fact that there were too many people out there, it was awesome

Always a great experience

This course was in better condition in the middle of December than most courses are at the peak of the golf season. They do a great job in every way. Id recommend this course to anyone all year long.
