Semifinals Set At 2011 WAPL

Carved out of 420 acres of rolling farmland in Somerset County, N.J., Neshanic Valley features 27 holes of golf designed by the team of Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry. The three championship nine-hole layouts – The Lake, The Ridge and The Meadow, plus the nine-hole, par-32 Academy Course and Learning Center – encompass 350 acres, with 70 additional acres designated for future park usage. During course construction, the design team preserved existing land features and took advantage of the existing topography.

The Lake and The Ridge nines will be utilized for the Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship. Neshanic Valley is a links-style layout featuring an ample amount of fescue and other native grasses, plus environmentally sensitive wetland areas that come into play throughout the three nines.
