NVGC Meadow #7 Included in NY Post Top 18 Golf Holes

Somerset County Park Commission Neshanic Valley Golf Course (NVGC), located at 2301 South Branch Road in Neshanic Station, New Jersey, is included in the NY Post “Best 18 Holes on Public Courses in the Metro Area.”

The 18 holes were chosen by Post golf writers Brett Cyrgalis and Mark Cannizzaro. Selected as hole 13 was Meadow 7, a short dogleg left par 4 at 336 yards to a narrow green. Course architect Michael Hurzden noted when designing the course, “The magic of short par-4s is that they allow average golfers to feel like they’re pros.”

Other courses on the list include Bethpage Black on Long Island, host to major championships; Trump Ferry Point in the Bronx, New York; and Crystal Springs in Sussex County, New Jersey.

In 2017, Neshanic Valley Golf Course Meadow 9 was selected as part of the Metropolitan Golf Association (MGA) Dream 18, a selection of 18 holes at different courses that were played in one day by a select group of MGA golfers and broadcast by the Golf Channel.

Neshanic Valley provides a complete golfing facility with a 27-hole Championship Course (Meadow, Ridge, Lake), a 9-hole Academy Course, the Learning Center, and the Callaway Golf Performance Center and High Definition Golf™ simulator.

The state-of-the-art Learning Center includes a double-ended driving range with grass and mat hitting areas, a 12,000 square foot putting green, a practice facility including bunkers and three chipping greens, and two practice holes.

The Performance Center at Neshanic Valley offers a state-of-the-art computerized golf club fitting and swing analysis system, operated by Callaway-trained professionals.

NVGC and the Somerset County Park Commission’s additional four golf courses are currently closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
