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.

Enjoyable course and good facilities

Enjoyable course with an above average pace of play. The driving range with a practice bunker was a nice touch. I hope to play again soon.

The course was in great condition for December in New Jersey ! The greens were rolling fast and they were in excellent condition.
The bunkers had real sand in them and were properly maintained.
I would like to commend the groundskeeper for a job well done 👍
