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.

Won’t Be The Last

First time playing Bowling Green. It was a very nice course... Flat and forgiving. Will definitely come back here soon. Staff was great! Beer garden was a bonus and food was good there.

Straight, flat, and kinda boring.

A pretty far drive from the city to this hidden golf course in NW Jersey. There are really much better courses with the same price range. Fairway was in decent shape, but the greens were not good. No hills, not much water and bunkers, just a lot of trees and similar holes that are straight and flat. Won’t be coming back here again.
