Type Public

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 Course Dictatorial Starter

For a public course the course is in a reasonable shape. Unfortunately, the start of the game is marred by Starter Mr. Jay’s rude behavior. He doesn’t seem to be happy doing the job. I traveled all the way from Bergen county. It will serve Mr.Jay well to drive to any of the Bergen county courses and watch the starters operate. They are a fun bunch, go out of the way to make sure everyone is enjoying. That’s the whole point.

N/A

It was a blistering hot day, so as you’d expect almost everyone wanted a cart. There was a wait of up to 40 minutes for each group choosing to wait for carts. When asked about the shortage we were told the county doesn’t supply enough carts to the course. You would think such a nice county as Somerset, that they would take better care of ALL of their courses and not just the select few with acclaim. For the price, not worth it.

Course overall in very good condition, although a couple of the sand traps are to be desired, but definitely well worth playing

Great course

I really loved the course! It was a little slow, but I got extra time to practice then. Nice views. Great shape in early June.

Green Knoll round

Overall very nice course. Needed to be mowed off fairways. Better attention needed as twosomes should have been put with other twosomes to even out round of play. Had a fun round anyway

Layout is pretty cool and the course is in solid shape. Starter seems to have an issue with everyone for whatever reason. Also no food besides a vending machine. Enjoyed the golf though

Ranger Needs to Go Home

We had a great day out at the course. We were on pace for <2 hour 9 hole front and back. The ranger came around not once but twice and "warned us" we need to move faster....we had 2 twosomes in front of us, so they notably went faster....and the group behind never got close to us we were at least 1-2 holes ahead of the 4 -some. As my wife who was with us that day, it was an amazing Mothers day, except for the Ranger.

Nice, open layout, well kept public course

First time playing Green Knoll and will definitely be back. Course was in good condition, particularly for late March. 3.5 hour round so the pace of play was great.

Beginning of the season

I know it's the beginning of the season and it is a county course, but these courses should roll the greens at least once during or at the beginning of the season so that we golfers can get a true roll when putting.
