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.

Well Maintained, enjoyable course

This golf course is very well maintained and is challenging. I have been to this course a few times and like it very much. Greens are nicely kept and a bit oversized, which I like. The fairways vary in width and most of the wooded sections are playable.

Staff is very friendly and thorough in their description of the course and rules. The beverage cart came around twice and the snack shop was well stocked.

I highly recommend. Price higher than some of the others but worth it!

Slow play

Left the course after 15 holes as It was already more than 4 hours and 15 minutes. Saw the ranger once on the ninth hole encouraging us to keep us the pace although we had waited in every shot for the first eight holes.

Solid Course

Pace of play was a little slow and many tee boxes chewed up but overall an enjoyable course with an excellent layout. Could easily become a true 5 star course with more attention to tee boxes.

Course is all around one of the best around.

Place is perfect. Range right next to the 1st tee box, accommodating staff, every hole is gorgeous, difficulty is there but not impossible even for an amateur. The vibes on a summer night are incredible!
