About
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 enough
"it is what it is" - not the greatest course in the world but it is challenging enough- conditions are usually good and the staff and other golfers there tend to be nice people
Fun layout
Mostly wide open, with a few challenges sprinkled about. Very well maintained. Long to walk.
Great Experience
Course is nice and clean. Will definitely go back again. One thing I noticed no ranger driving around to check on slow players. Not the ones we followed but the ones following us where we went easily ahead of them by 3 holes. Just felt sorry for the players behind them.
a high five!
We had heard this was a nice course, so we played it on Thurs. and we are glad we did. We are seniors, so the blue tees were ideal for us. For some reason, I think I hit my 5 iron to the green on 6 holes. The greens held nicely, and putts rolled true. Their staff is excellent. Only one suggestion, -- On #18, you have no idea where the green is located, so you play a blind shot. Maybe a marker should be put up to line up your 2nd shot.
great course
Need marshals on the course to speed up play
Day was great other than that the 4 some in front of me were taking multiple extra tee shots and instructions were given to one of the players on every shot including physically assisting him line up the clubs etc.
Great course otherwise
mixed reviews
read the mixed reviews but found this course really enjoyable. great mix of holes and used every club in my bag. Will play again and highly recommend.
Great course for average golfer
Played from gold tees (tips). First 4 holes very wide open, kind of lull you to sleep. It gets a bit more challenging afterward. Most holes are very reasonable distance, not short, but not excessively long. Precise accuracy not required. Miss the fairway a bit and you're usually OK. Not many hazards, but they are well-placed. Greens were excellent.
Somewhat Challenging around Greens
This was my first time playing in Green Knoll, and the course conditions were very similar to Quail Brook and Spooky Brook. I personally like Quail Brook (Difficulties - Moderate) the most, and Spook Brook (Difficulties - Easy), followed by Green Knoll (Difficulties - Challenging around greens, especially bunkers). Staff were very friendly.
No Flair or water but Nice course
Nice course, Most fairways wide open but some holes very tight. First time playing course. Rough was just the right length so wasn't hard to find your ball. Ground and greens very Hard, had to play short. I was glad I was talking to one of the locals that just got off the course and gave me that advice. Clubhouse used for checking in and Bathrooms, had some tables that did not look used. Saw some beautiful deer including a 4 pt. Buck.
pleasant surprise
First 4 holes kind of lull you, but then the fun begins. Very pleasant.
Great course - great calue
Not overly difficult yet still challenging. This course is forgiving on most holes for wide shots if you don't keep it down the middle, as I don't always. The water on 6 is fun. I'll definitely be back soon...
Overrated
My son and I have played over 60 of NJ courses. First time playing this course on a beautiful day. I was somewhat disappointed in difficultly/layout of course after reading some of the other reviews. Course greens were good (large) and rather flat overall. Overall condition of course good too but the challenge was lacking. Traps and water few and far between. If you can't drive straight, play here. NO beverage cart and food stand. Last time we play here.
Solid local course
Solid local muni and has a great value. Pace was 4hrs 45min for my group and the local that joined my group said its a tad slower than normal. My only qualm would have been on the pace, other than that its a solid course that is only 1hr from the city.
Can't wait to play it again!
Course was in great shape. Greens were perfect. Pace of play was very good for a weekend in Somerset county. Very funny experience on hole #17 when we got chased by a hissing goose that thought he owned the tee box.
First Time Playing here
10/10 would play here again. I played here yesterday. It was a good round and considering it was somewhat windy.
Green Knoll
First time ever at Green Knoll. Excellent course conditions. Greens were rolling nicely. Would definitely go back again.
Same ol green knoll
Played this course alot when I was learning the game. I still enjoy a round there once in awhile but beware playing there on the weekends. You'll be looking at a 6 hour round on a busy day.
