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.

Great course when conditions are right

I have heard from friends this course is often very wet and muddy with not the best conditions. When I played it had been hot and sunny for a few days consecutively so the course was looking beautiful and in excellent condition. I have no complaints!

Not good experieince

Had booked with golf cart and no golf carts were available - starter found humor in that. Borrowed one of the walking trollies and starter wanted to charge me - had to explain I paid for a cart. Very poor customer service - entire staff.

Always Reliable

Played here growing up in the 60's. It's a reliable experience & getting better annually. Fairways,greens, roughs are in excellent shape. Recently paved some cart paths & upgrades to & 8 & 9 bridges are being completed. Brings back memories from the 1960's learning to play & playing for Bridgewater West HS just across the street.

We play here a few times a year now.& enjoy the conditions

Heads up would be nice

Knowing that 8/9 are under repair would have been nice before paying full price to play

It’s ok

I got a hot deal for $24.99. It was worth it. 2 holes were closed and they knew about it. Would have been nice to know before booking. Pace of play was horrible. Started at 230 and didn’t finish 16 holes. Would have been well over a 5 hour round

Wet wet wet

The course should not be open when it’s this wet. Way too muddy. Very slow group in front of us got their cart stuck in mud. I helped them push it out and got sprayed with mud. That’s what I get for being nice. 17 and 18 are closed also so we only played 16 holes.

Bad timing

Perhaps cause it’s this time of the year but I have never played so wet a course. Fairways, Rough, Greens and don’t even mention the traps. What I don’t understand is the the course is hilly but very poor drainage.
