Royce Brook Golf Club operates two 18-hole courses on the same property in Hillsborough, making it one of the more substantial golf facilities in Somerset County. The East Course is the newer and generally considered the more demanding of the two layouts, built across rolling terrain that reflects the Piedmont topography of central New Jersey — a landscape of gentle ridges, mature hardwoods, and the kind of open farmland corridors that once defined this part of the state before suburban development reshaped much of the region.
Somerset County sits in a comfortable mid-Jersey sweet spot, far enough from the Shore and the mountains to occupy its own golfing identity. The area supports a strong club culture, and Royce Brook functions as a semi-private facility, meaning the East Course is accessible to public play — an above-average option for golfers who want something with more design ambition than a typical daily-fee track.
The East Course plays to a par 72 across terrain that rewards patience and course management over raw power. Golfers familiar with the better public-access layouts in New Jersey tend to regard Royce Brook as a legitimate test worth the trip out to Hillsborough.
