Slope 125
Rating 70.8

Green Knoll Golf Course in Bridgewater Township has a varied terrain that provides a unique character to the course. The course sprawls across gently rolling hills dappled with mature trees. Much of the course's challenges are a result of the tricky contours. Some of the elevation changes are dramatic but there are also some subtle ones, which can be just as tricky. Further accuracy is required to maneuver the tight fairways. There are definitely challenges in store throughout but overall the golf course's playability appeals to all skill levels, from novices to avid golfers. It measures a manageable 6,443 yards from the back tees. In addition to the 18-hole course, there is also a nine-hole pitch-and-putt course. Green Knoll is one of five golf courses operated by the Somerset County Park Commission.

Like being at a country club!

The course was in great shape. There was maintenance around the course. The crew was putting in sprinkler system and replacing grass with sod. It was nice to see the amount of work being done on the course.

Not worth the $$

Course is better than an average Municipal course..

The greens fees was $73 w/ cart on a weekday.. that’s very high in my opinion.

Greens were in great shape.

Pace of play was slow.

Staff in the clubhouse was very rude.

A must play

Personally love courses with elevation changes. The greens and fairways were both in very good shape! Only issue was no fault of the course... Walkers on hilly courses!! It's a personal issue with slow play. I am looking forward to spring so I can get back out on this course. I've played 30 different courses this year on the one is definitely in the top 25%

Quality municipal course

Staff in the pro shop super friendly. Starter nice guy. But No chipping. No driving range. Nice putting green. All the greens were in great shape, only a couple 1 putts so be careful. Lots of 2 puts & a couple 3 putts. Watch your tempo.

It’s tuff for my 1st swing of the day of driver to be on 1st tee. Some blind shots. All quality holes. I don’t hit out of any muni sand traps, usually too much dirt. There were a few all sand. Narrow fairways but if you hit it straight no worries. Hard to find balls from errant shots. GREAT pace of play. Little over 4 hours, very good for muni. Saw the ranger a few times never said a word to us so I think we were on pace. Can’t say enough t about the nice guys in the pro shop, most muni courses are stocked with grumps.
