About
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.

Great Course
This course is a fun track to play but it does not come at a cheap price. Would recommend.
Great Course, Great Staff, Great Pace
This Is a beautiful and very well maintained course. One of the best within 1 hr of nyc. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Played as a single in 3 and half hours on Saturday afternoon - multiple groups let me play ahead. Overall great experience. Will definitely be back soon.
Great Round
Just finished playing a round today. Started the round at 2:28, finished around 6:15. Great course, tight fairways, plenty of doglegs to the left, and oh my goodness, those par 3s!!!
Fairways were in excellent shape, greens were fast, but true.
Definitely recommend!! Unfortunately we did not partake in a post-round meal, but it smelled good as we passed it.
Nice Day for golf
Never had to wait they spaced us out so the round couldn't get any better. Played with my son for Father's Day!
Nice course was in good condition but weren’t offering carts to everyone which was strange and still charged a decent amount for walking.
Always a pleasure
Excellent condition every time I’ve played . Challenging greens , nice fairways , all in all a great course
The ambience is awesome .. those pine trees
Greens were little slow understandably but man what a course this is! Fair and challenging. Those pine trees reminded me of Augusta a lot since masters was postponed this year . Awesome course to play and of course need to be little straight on this course!!
The Way Golf Should Be
Played a round (first time this course) on a Sat afternoon in June...usually a prime time for crowded conditions and slower play but we experienced neither. Course is very well kept and was in great shape despite heavy rains the night before. Even under pandemic restrictions, with the range open and the halfway house laying down some righteous dogs you could almost a normal world existed for 4 hours. Staff were very helpful and seemed genuinely glad to be there accommodating golfers. If this is what slightly off the beaten path gets you, then I’m a believer in the effort: driving a short piece afforded us enjoying the game in peace and without the annoyances that so often accompany higher trafficked venues.
