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 Playing

Great course! Would play again and recommend anyone to play there without question!

I had a great time at the course. It was well marked for the distances and very friendly. It was challenging for a high handicap player like me, this what made it great!

Well maintained year after year

Very friendly staff. Conditions are consistently good. You can find and play your ball when you get in the trees. A good course if you'd like to work on your driving since you have more room to find and recover a bad drive.

Great Sunday Play

Made reservations through Golf Now, saved about $10. each on a foursome. Starter got us out a bit early, play was paced well, conditions were above average, and staff helpful when needed.
A good value day for a nice round of golf.

Average Muni Track

Played Green Knoll shortly after green aeration, so the condition may pick up some as the greens heal- $50 with cart is no bargain this time of year, considering the course has yet to settle in for the season. Pace of play was slow, but not maddeningly so, but much here can also be attributed to the time of year as the fescue grass has not started to fill in, so stray shots were easy to find. As for the layout, there a few interesting holes (5, 6 and 8 on the front, 11, 14 and 18 coming home provide both challenge and options). The four par 3s are monotonous- all about the same length, same bunkering, similar green shapes and slopes- only the wind made for different clubs to be hit into each...and 3 par 4s on the front (2, 4 and 9) also gave a distinct feeling of deja vu.

Needs attention

Course is in need of some attention. Greens are extremley rough due to aeration. Tee times need to be adjusted, too many golfers for a smooth round of golf, we were delayed at every tee with no sign of rangers anywhere.

Course Condition

Obviously at this time of year condition of any course can be suspect. I found the course to be rather open with well trapped and protected greens. There were some water hazzards but easy to avoid unless you miss hit a shot. The downside to this particular round was the condition of the greens. They had been aerated sometime before but were very bumpy and difficult to read and I ended up with a few 3 putts. Overall it was a good experience with a very friendly staff and folks on the course with good golf etiquette. I recommend the course and plan to play it in season.
