Bowling Green Golf Club is in the heart of northern New Jersey, surrounded by miles of idyllic countryside. An abundance of mature oaks and towering red pines characterizes the scenic course. This quick, shady layout is a great round for walkers. The golf course has a classic links design that is easily played in less than four hours. Like most traditional links courses, the gently undulating terrain has the perfect pitch and roll. It also provides each hole with unique challenges that require accuracy and strategy. Trees heavily line the fairways, presenting some of the course's most formidable challenges. Bowling Green Golf Club's front nine is slightly more forgiving than the back nine, which incorporates the natural ponds and wetlands on a few holes. There are also some tricky doglegs to contend with.

Always a good time

The price is on the higher side, but it appears that a lot of that money gets invested back into the course. The conditions are great.

I’ll be back!

Bowling Green Golf Course 5.5.26

The course has a practice range and the carts are equipped with GPS. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great conditions. Fairways are mostly tree lined so placement over distance is the key to a good score.

Pricing can fluctuate so when you see a discount, don’t hesitate to book your time!

Skip it

These guys are a joke. They make you in FULL pay for your tee time when you reserve. I play about 200 rounds per year and have never heard of this before. Then they give you attitude when you question it. The course itself is decent at best but it says a lot that every single tee time slot sits open on a Saturday, skip this place and go to Berkshire valley or Crystal springs.

Perfect morning

Course was in great shape. A few holes are wet, based on environment. Greens in great shape. The traps could use a little more sand but were relatively good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Fairways were in great condition, well maintained. Will play course again.

A fun course to play with tight fairways and water. It was in great shape considering it is March. We will play here more frequently.

Course was in excellent shape. Pace of play was great, but bear in mind that it was midweek. Very walkable. Lots of trees line the fairways so you need to keep your drives in play. Greens were faster than expected. Nice course, but a bit off the beaten path.

Should be $100 or less

Great overall, just should not be $125+. Too many trees that are right in the middle of the fairway. Front desk worker was slow and unorganized. If it was $90 or less id play there all the time, but frankly not worth the premium price.
