Type Public
Par 71
Length 6443 yards
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.

Good value

Course is in good shape except for the sand traps near the greens. They were filled with water. And some lower lying areas are very wet and muddy...but aside from that, the course played well.

I had to wait for an individual cart...but it showed up right before our tee time. The starter wasn’t happy with that, but I wasn’t go to share a cart with a stranger in these times.

EXCELLENT CONDITIONS.

1st time playing this course and I’ll definitely be back. Greens t boxes and fairways were all in great condition. Staff was great. Pace of play was fine. Stuck behind 4 walkers who kept it moving. Not a big deal.

4 hrs. is acceptable on a Friday afternoon. Only complaint was 3 ppl I was paired w had ZERO golf etiquette !!!! Walking in my line on green. Picked up my call to see if it was theirs. Good course just bad luck w ppl I was paired with. I’ll be back. Hot deal on GN can’t be beat!!! Worth the 45 min drive.

Course is in fabulous shape. Greens were true and fairways are well maintained. A touch ‘soft,’ but overall very good shape. Course has some very challenging holes- strategy and ability to be precise are required on several holes (#8 is just mean!), while others are straightforward and opportunities to score. My only beef would be the rough. Not overgrown like many courses do because that’s the easy and dumb way to penalize you, but just thick- be prepared to bear down and muscle up, this stuff is unbelievable. Staff was great and personable. A really nice course.

Great Valley Views.. Otherwise Unremarkable

A little odd that I showed up 15 minutes before my time but the starter had my group of 3 (I was a single) on the teebox. Had I not been there at that very moment... Who knows if I'd have even found a place.

Worse was his attitude. I said I'm 10 minutes early... His response "Not according to my watch"... I showed him the time on the phone (a bit more reliable and accurate)

Not a huge deal but NO GOLFER likes to walk from the car to the teebox. I tied my shoe on the 1st box. Annoying.

It was "Hurry Up to Wait" all day.

Good time

The course was in good shape with the greens rolling very nice. Playing this course the second time around allowed for selecting better targets having an understanding of the layout. Will go back again as it is an enjoyable time.
