Rutgers University Golf Course

Somerset, NJ · 2.2 mi away

Quail Brook Golf Course is one of five public courses run by the Somerset County Park Commission, located in Somerset off New Brunswick Road. Designed by Ed Ault and opened in 1982, the par-71 layout plays about 6,617 yards from the back tees. The yardage looks modest on the card, but the hilly terrain makes it play longer, especially on a back nine with dramatic elevation changes that test walkers. Undulating fairways lead to sloped greens framed by strategic bunkering, putting a premium on the short game. It is a regular host of New Jersey State Golf Association qualifiers.

Royce Brook Golf Club recently unified its formerly separate East and West courses into a single 18 hole championship layout. The project was led by architect Tyler Rae and included a complete bunker renovation along with the reimagining of several holes to enhance playability. The facility was originally designed by Steve Smyers and opened for play in 1998 on former farmland in Hillsborough. The new unified course blends the best elements of both previous layouts to create a premier destination in central New Jersey. The club is recognized as an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary for its commitment to protecting the local environment and providing wildlife habitats.
