In summary

Ash Brook Golf Course is appreciated for its scenic layout and friendly staff, with some visitors highlighting the enjoyable pitch and putt course. However, many reviews express concerns about the poor maintenance of the fairways and greens, particularly on the back nine, which affects playability and overall experience. Issues such as unmarked hazards, slow pace of play, and lack of amenities like a functioning clubhouse are also frequently mentioned.

A gorgeous course to play and walk during Fall. But horrible course conditions. On one of the back 9 holes, I smoked a drive off the T, straight as an arrow? And it went into an unmarked creek. The map doesn’t have it - to lose a ball with a shot of the day perhaps sums of the course conditions. On another hole, I fit a ball to the left of the green, and it just disappeared into A bog. No prior warning of that hazard anywhere. For 89$ from outside, it is very expensive for the experience. Yes, divots on greens also a problem.it is a pity - it is otherwise beautiful course with mature trees and…

⭐️⭐️ Disappointing Experience – Course Conditions Borderline Unplayable I played 18 holes at Ash Brook Golf Course recently, and I genuinely wish I had better things to say — but this was one of the more frustrating rounds of golf I’ve played in quite a while. What should have been an enjoyable day out turned into a slow, poorly maintained, and ultimately disappointing experience that I can’t recommend in good faith. Let’s start with the condition of the course, which was downright poor. The photos I’ve attached speak for themselves. The fairways — particularly on the front nine — were full…

Honesty one of the best courses in the area but just a few quirks to work out. Clubhouse is 10/10. Pro shop needs more ball options. Drinks and snacks priced fairly. First nine is fantastic! Greens are amazing and fairways are great. On par with some of the nice courses like Neshanic. Back nine was a massive let down. 14th fairway turns to mud for the final 110 yards all the way to the green. 15th is a par three that is unplayable if you are short of the green and no way to walk around the water pumps and pipes they have placed to drain out the water from the fairway…. Yes fairway. 16th par 4……

I’ve been playing Ash Brook for more than 20 years and the reason I give it one star is simple. We have only had a superintendent that knew how to maintain a golf course for about 5 of those 20 years and the course maintenance, specifically drainage and greens is atrocious. Every year the greens are punched once or twice and with the exception of 4 or 5 years it takes 6 weeks to 3 months for them to recover and putt properly again. They never fill the holes properly with the correct mixture of sand and fertilizer. I’ve attached 2 photos from the practice green where on one small area the holes…

The Ashbrook pitch and putt course is very good and a pleasant surprise. I needed to work on my short game and the course met my needs perfectly by helping me to dial in the length of my wedges and work on putting. The greens are in good condition. The pitching mats are more than suitable, too. There should be more of these pitch and putt courses to give people a chance to practice the short game and introduce new people to golf. I will definitely come back.

This golf course is truly impressive. The layout is challenging yet fun, with beautiful greens and fairways. Each hole offers unique scenery, from tall trees to stunning water features. The staff is friendly and helpful, making every visit enjoyable. The clubhouse is comfortable, with good food and drinks. I also appreciate the practice area, which is great for warming up. Overall, this course is perfect for both beginners and experienced players. It creates a wonderful atmosphere for a day out.

This used to be a great course. However now the back nine is a complete mess. Which is fine - Mother Nature does what she does. But they need to make this a 9 hole course and stop charging for 18 holes until the back 9 are fixed. Additionally the club house and the restaurant have been under construction for over a year atleast. The front of the pro shop is also demolished. I hope they get their act together soon. Until then I will miss playing there.

This used to be a wonderful parkland golf course. It has since not so much gone downhill, as fallen off a cliff. For some reason, they flipped the two nine’s. The tee boxes are atrocious, not to mention they’ve literally dumbed down the course by moving them up. On some holes the whites are up 50 yards past where they used to be (to encourage speed of play I’m told). The 10th hole tee box was 75 yards past the old whites. Meanwhile the old tee boxes seem to be in ok shape while we played from junk. The greens were down right bumpy. Not just from jerks who don’t repair hallmarks, but the patche…

Truly the worst golf course I have ever played. The greens fees are outrageous for this sad excuse for a course. Do not go here!

This could be a really nice county course if funds were invested where they matter. Unfortunately, they decided to build a way too big club house and restaurant years ago, which was poorly done with the facade falling off, and are now pumping even more funds into fixing it. Meanwhile, the course suffers. Forgetting the drainage issues, which have existed my entire golfing life in Union County, there are so many things that could be done to beautify this course. Many cart paths need repair, pavers around the edges of cart paths near tee boxes would bring up the aesthetics. Tee boxes themselves…

I just had an extremely unpleasant experience at the pitch and putt. I paid my fee and went to the first hole when a man in a golf cart pulled up and told me I couldn't play on the first two holes because he was running a class. I said that's fine, but you should let the person in the shop know, because he sold me a ticket and said the course was open. His response was to say 'I'm the boss of this entire course and I need you to get off this hole right now, and either go to hole now or just leave'. I left and got a rain check - the clerk said he couldn't refund me - but after I use that I doub…

Solid local place to golf. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Greens were fast, affected by heat wave maybe? Fairways were getting in bad shape with bare dirt. Easily walkable with a push cart. Update 2025: some back nine holes are heavily affected by the weekly rain and are prone to flooding. One par four (15?) is turned into a par 3 due to tee boxes under renovation and causes some backup at the end of the round.
