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.

Love this course!!

This was my first time playing this course. The greens, fairways, and overall condition of the course were exceptional for a public course.

I found the layout to be the perfect balance of openness and thoughtfully placed challenges — bunkers, native grasses, hazards, trees, etc. At first, it seemed like it was going to be a cinch, but as we played hole after hole, I came to appreciate the nuances. I got the feeling I could come back dozens of times and still be discovering new aspects of the course.

I walked and found it to be hilly but manageable. I’m fairly fit, but I felt like I got a pretty good work out after 18 holes.

I rated five stars across the board with the exception of amenities, which were nice but pretty basic. I think they turn the pitch and putt course into a driving range at certain times, but it wasn’t open for a warm up when I was there. Also, there was no café or really any place to get a drink or bite between nines. That said, the clubhouse and shop, although bare-bones, seemed to be newly renovated and was quite nice.

The clubhouse staff and starter were nice and welcoming. Pace of play was one of the best I have experienced at a municipal course.

Definitely highly recommended. I will be coming back again and again.

Great Course

Loved everything about this course and definitely will be back! Super friendly starter, elevation changes, tough holes (watch out for the #2 handicap hole, as it seems deceivingly easy until you hit your approach shot). Stay in the short stuff as the rough is heavy and the fescue is insane. Highly recommend.

Pace of play is slow

I played apart of a foursome and we were only able to get 14 holes in before sunset due to the horrible pace of play held by players ahead of us. While starting at 3:40 in the afternoon I have gotten 18 holes in before 6:30. The groups in front of us changed 3 different times and it seemed like people were just randomly walking up to tee boxes and playing a hole as they felt. It only got worse when the group in front of us changed again and we waited 18 minutes for the group in front of us to get off of the green and move on to the next hole. I figured the pace of play would be slow having played here before and have been on course for 5 hours before but this was just unorganized and clearly un supervised. Hopefully the course can enforce pace of play rules and allow games to move smoothly and keep slow selfish players off the course.

Tee box need fixing.

The course was okay with the exception of Teeboxes. I felt like I teeing off from the rough.

I played as single they let me go off the back nine, then had to wait at turn for a foresome to tee off big mistake.

Should of left after nine.

Greens

Greens were aerated and poorly dressed. Putting was horrible for $65 so left after 5 holes!! These courses should advertise when greens are freshly aerated so a golfer has the choice to book or not book!! Or at the very least offer a simple discount to a golfer for putting on crappy greens !
