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.

First time here

First timer at Green Knoll and was pleasantly surprised. First time out this year, and a double bogey shooter. This course is nice and wide with very little brush to lose stray balls. It does have trees and waterways that can be a bit of an issue for the average (or worse) golfer.
A nicer course than you'll find for a cheaper day out. Friendly staff, no rushing even on a gorgeous Sunday. I was able to book a time the morning of 3 hours in advance, show up a little later than I should have, and played without any issue. 4.5 hrs for us, I'd imagine better golfers could finish in under 4. Some interesting holes and greens to challenge even the better players in the group...
I'll be back to try this one again!

Windy Day made it tough

This is a very nice course to play because it is pretty wide open and forgiving. However when it's windy that wide open play means really strong gusts all over. Also the greens had not yet recovered from being airated so putting was tough. No girl at the snack bar which meant only snacks at check in. So it was slowwwww going. But I had a nice relaxing round. and shot ok in the early season.

Best for all year play.

The only thing wrong with the course was that the greens seemed to be aerated a few weeks ago and haven't grown back. Minimum goose droppings. Great fairways.

Nice course

Caught it on a week day with less crowd, nicely maintained course, greens were aerated but overall nice to play and would be a challenging course with the slopes on most fairways

Solid Course

Not too hefty of a price for some quality holes. Course and greens were in pretty good condition. Only negative was lack of signage. On a couple of occasions, almost played the wrong hole. On a positive note, deer are friendly and seemingly part of the course.

Good stuff

the only complaint I have is that they want you to pay 1$ for a water bottle at certain holes....bring your own water, otherwise the layout of the course is wondeeful, the greens are challenging and fun.

This is my nemesis course. The front 9 can be brutal. Survive it and the back 9 will be a lot easier.

wide open course, but greens were very slow and not rolled

Course is a fairly easy course. Only a couple of holes can be a bit of a challenge on the approach. Round was very slow though and greens were bumpy and slow. All in all, it would return if conditions improved.

Green Knoll

I thought the course was on the easy side. Wide open fairways, greens were a little slow but in good shape, the traps were not the best but the tee boxes were good. For a municipal course I thought it was in good shape and a good value

Fun track

Course was in good shape, greens rolled true. Not a very challenging front 9 but back kept things interesting. Not sure why this is course is known for narrow fairways? seemed fairly wide-open to me and adjacent fairways made errant tee shots playable. No rangers keeping tabs on slow play so pace is a roll of the dice; Some times you win, some times you lose. Great day of golf for the price.

A pleasant surprise

As a single I found this course on a Hot Deal the day of. I wasn't expecting much, but the course was actually in very nice condition. the rough was thick enough to punish you for missing the relatively wide fairways. Players face a large number of downhill lies and surprisingly few uphill ones to counter it. My only two complaints would be that: 1) The course did not have water jugs on the course 2) There was no ranger out on the course keeping pace moving. A pair of couples were causing a log jam infront of us and didn't have the decency to let us play through. We ended up skipping a hole to pass them and the round got much better from there.

Green Knoll - A good value/friendly staff

Green Knoll is a relatively open and flat course with a few tight holes. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were is good condition.

While we road in carts, the couse definately looks walkable.

Three pluses:

1. A good value for the money
2. Friendly staff
3. Good overall layout with some memorable holes.

Areas of improvement:

1. A little slow on the pace of play. We finshed our round in just less the 5 hours but not too bad for a Saturday.
2. Some of the sand traps could use some sand
3. Greens were a little slow (but not too bad)

BuGS!

Course was not too hilly, but the greens were. Not too crowded on a Wednesday, so fast pace of play. It was 90 degrees, so many bugs that distracted from swing. Make sure to bring bug spray! Friendly starter provided free water & ice due to heat. I would play here again, when it's not too hot.

Nice Find

Pleasantly surprised at some of the twist and turns in this course. Very wide open and hilly. The elevated greens are a good challenge and some strategic thinking on certain holes. Overall I would recommend.
