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.

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.

Challenging but Well-kept

I lost quite a few balls playing around the trees and water but the fairways and rough grass are maintained much better than other courses I’ve played in New Jersey. Only got 11 holes but still felt like it was a good value for what I paid.

Awful Customer Service and Staff Friendliness

I’ve been playing here for 10 years and never have I heard the bs rule of “once you drive to the back 9, you can’t get refunded”. Lightning in the air and starting to rain. Didn’t hit a tee ball and you can’t refund any money of the jacked up rates you charge for rounds. Terrible experience and customer service. Best of luck!

County member and resident. My home course that I have played well over 50 times. 9/10 times the staff is so rude and unfriendly. Will 100% never be back. BS customer service and accountability.

Do better.

Horrible treatment to golfers. Always bad attitudes as well

Didn’t hit a tee ball and you can’t refund any money of the jacked up rates you charge for rounds. Terrible experience and customer service. Best of luck!

Not to mention how rude the staff is 9/10 being there. County member and resident. Surely won’t be back which is a shame because this is my home town course. Do better.

Great course

For a public course it is in great shape. Many challenging holes, you may need to play strategically. Just your basic club house, vending machines & bathrooms. Got a hot deal which made it even better. I would still play this course without a hot deal.
