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.

Wonderful course !!

I went there last sunday. It was smoggy day, so , nobody with us In first nine holes.

We can play very comfortable. Field condition was best and people were nice and gentle.

I’ll go back the golf course again soon.

Nomap

I can't understand why they got such favorable reviews there was absolutely no map of the course not even.on scorecard, the leaves we're not blown anywhere on the course. which made the play slow down and lose a lot of balls

Fun course to play

We really enjoyed this course. Large greens very accessible but challenging. Would play this course regularly except it's an about 2 hours from my home. Too much of a trip to do so. Highly recommend. Leaves just beginning to change...will be spectacular once fully into the season.

Beautiful course!

Very beautiful and a great layout. The course is kept in excellent condition! It’s a challenging but very fair course. The par 5 18th is a bear so be prepared! If u haven’t played this course it’s a must. One of the truly best courses in jersey. Very nice courteous staff as well! Love it!
