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 will be back

Interesting golf course

We have played all the other Somerset county courses -,Spooky, Quail and Warren ( add a Brook to all 3 ) and Neshanic .

This course is much tougher than the 3 “ Brooks “

You’re hitting over hazards on more than a few of the holes . Elevations create many blind shots

This was our first time playing here so there were quite a few surprises. Some deep bunkers

Course is in very good shape . They were blowing leaves off the fairways , rough is thick and with many leaves it’s hard to find a ball that’s not in the fairway .

Green Knoll

Course was in good shape.

Greens were aerated recently so they weren’t as good as they usually are. Typically all Somerset County courses have very nice greens.

Walked the course for the first and found it a little difficult. Didn’t realize it was as hilly as it was.

Fairways were in great shape.

Rough was thick due to the excess rain this summer.

Mr Eric C

Terrible experience, i prepaid for two golfers, we are five 5 minutes late scheduled tee time 12:50, the starter sent others and won’t let us to catch up, he hold us to wait, he said will be quick but actually we waited for about one and a half hours, and he does nothing, we can’t wait anymore and did not play, it is terrible experience I ever had inpublic golf course

Ok purse, short but challenging

pace is a bit slow, tee boxes are a bit beat up, the course although short requires some challenging tee shots and second shots that need to carry hazards, I got some awe full sideways bounces!

Nice course in decent shape except for sand traps.

Wouldn’t recommend playing here after it rains…. Course doesn’t seem to drain well

Bring bug spray. Should enforce pace of play more/ better.
