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.

Good Course, needs water (to drink)

Front 9 and back 9 feel like 2 different courses but both are fun to play. There is no water on the course (to drink) and it would be a welcomed addition.

Beautiful course

The staff is always cooperative. I was allowed to start 45 minutes ahead of my reservation time which allowed me to fit a tight schedule.

A decent no-frills municipal course

Quail Brook provides a decent no-frills municipal course, in a scenic setting. The course is in decent shape, although the greens were recently aerated and are very slow. There are hardly any amenities beyond a vending machine. The course provides a reasonable value for money, especially if you can get a hot deal. It is a good choice for a weekday round when you don't have expectations of amenities beyond the game itself.
