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.

A great round of golf

A terrific morning of golf and very impressed that an email to provide alternate driving directions was sent to me as the road to the club was under construction. Wonderful and helpful staff and rangers who kindly explained the cart rules. A very nice day and I was lucky to be paired with 3 other women to play with.

Perfect day

Weather was perfect on Friday. Got out a few minutes later than our 8:57 tee time. Turned out they had a promo with golf now - free draft beer at the beer garden. Pace was a bit slower than normal but we finished in about 4:25. Conditions were great. Greens rolled well and were in great shape. Sand, fairways, rough - all great shape.

Super golf course!

This golf course tucked quietly away off Milton Road is the find of the year! Every hole has a different layout. The fairways & greens are in excellent shape. A practice range & putting green are available. It is a walkable course but most golfers use carts. The halfway house offers a delicious lunch. Lunch or dinner in the clubhouse is very good.

Great Experience

I've golfed here perhaps a dozen times in the past 4 or 5 seasons.... and EVERY time I go there: The friendliest staff I've experienced on a golf course. 95% of the time its very good pace of play. Excellent value for the very upscale conditions and perhaps best of all : VERY tasty food ... including one of the best burgers I've ever had on a golf course! Well done Bowling Green!

Long, long time ago!!!

I would say that it has been at least 25yrs.since I last played Bowling Green GC. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised.

The Staff was most courteous and helpful.

Overall the course was in v.good condition considering how much rain we had just 4-5 days previous to today.

There was evidence of many workers tending to the daily chores of routine maintenance and they sat patiently as my group played through.

I plan on returning there quicker than my last hiatus from Bowling Green GC
