The Somerset County Park Commissioners today approved a resolution implementing a special “Active Military Golf Rate for Military Personnel” currently serving our country. The “in-county” rates will apply at all five County-operated golf courses.
The resolution was presented to New Jersey State Senator Kip Bateman acknowledging the Commissioners willingness to amend the golf fee structure to allow any active member of the armed forces to play golf at in-county rates at any county golf course. Senator Bateman accepted the resolution on behalf of Senator James Beach, Chair of the Senate Military and Veterans Affairs Committee
Beginning immediately, active military personnel, regardless of their permanent place of residence, will not be required to pay an in-county or out-of-county registration fee and will be permitted to play the county courses at the county resident rate.
“This is a small gesture to show our appreciation for the commitment of our military personnel in these very difficult times,” stated Dot Paluck, Chair of the Park Commission Golf Committee.
Showing of an active military ID will allow play at any of the five County courses for in-county rates. The County facilities include Neshanic Valley, South Branch Road, Neshanic Station, NJ; Green Knoll, Garretson Road, Bridgewater, NJ; Spooky Brook at Colonial Park, Somerset, NJ; Warrenbrook, Warrenville Road, Warren, NJ; Quail Brook, New Brunswick Road, Somerset, NJ)
Green fees at Green Knoll, Spooky Brook, Warrenbrook, and Quail Brook are $24.00 Mondays to Thursdays and $28.00 for adults Friday to Sunday and holidays. Neshanic Valley rates are $50.00 Monday to Thursday and $60.00 Friday to Sunday and holidays and include a gas cart.
