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/ great condition

The course was in great condition. Fair ways and greens were well manicured. The only thing lacking were distance markings on the course. The food at the course was great as well. The burgers we had were terrific and the staff was top notch. I'll be back again.

Classic Course

This is a beautiful tree lined course. It feels much more friendly and private than the corporate "crystal springs" courses right up the road. Every hole is a challenge, but it's fair. Must keep the ball straight. Plenty of tee boxes for every level of golfer. Rangers are friendly and helpful. Bar was cozy and good. $3 yuenglings!

This is a fun course to play. I would play it more often if it where closer. It is a 60 min. Ride. Also they give a a nice senior citizen discount ( 60 and over)

Beautiful and Great pace of play

In spite of the fact that a few non-par 3's are also cart path only, we played a foursome round in 4 hours flat. It is a challenging course with majestic tree-lines fairways. The greens roll smooth and true with some tricky breaks. Loved playing here and would come again for certain!

Round 2

Nice layout, in good shape. For first timers research the course before you play. Hole don't always go the direction you think they would. Pretty narrow but enjoyable. After round food is good.

Great course

We plays in the afternoon. But it was raining the whole day but we drove an 1.5 hrs to play it so we played anyway. Despite the horrendous weather and swamp like conditions the course was amazing and looked in great shape. The layout was fun and interesting. It was a great time and we can't wait to go back

Nice course for the money !

Considering the discounted rate that GolfNow has charged, it is worth playing this course. Their regular rate is too high for this type, as compared to the other courses nearby.

Great Course

Course was in unbelievable shape for mid-April in NJ. Greens were rolling well and the tee times were spread out nicely. Ranger was around and actually kept the pace of play moving. We fell behind by 10 minutes and he was extremely polite and asked us to pick up the pace. We did on the next hole and he came by again and thanked us. Staff was wonderful!

Nice course; crumby condition

Have played this course a few times and it's always enjoyable. My last round on 11/11 was okay, however, I don't think the course conditions were worth the $65 price tag. Didn't seem like they tried at all to remove leaves from the greens or fairways.

Great Conditioning

Course is in great shape, tees, fairways and greens.

It's a little tighter than it looks. Consider shorter club off tee to keep it in the fairway. Just a little pricey.

Many reasons to experience a day of golf on these 18 holes.

A wonderfully managed golf course with a little bit of a lot that's going on there for all levels of golfers. After getting through the most important step of reserving your day, " tee times" which Golfnow like always made a no hassle experience. Whether by phone or on their web site it's the simplest of tasks and it usually is when your dealing with true golf professionals. From the spacious parking lot, to the pro shop, on to the practice green, over to the driving range, into the restaurant/bar and then on to the starter from beginning to end it was truly the most professional, courteous and friendly process anyone can ask for.

I've had the opportunity to play here several times over the years by choice of coarse and the caretakers never let me down not even in the least bit no matter what time of the season. I use the word caretakers because it explicitly describes what they do, TAKE CARE of it. Now I don't mean just the greens which are manicured to a softness that holds your golf ball like a magnet, yes a green you can actually hit into. The ideal grooming doesn't stop there. From the tee to green and sideways from tree lines, ruff to fairway and into soft, white sand traps which are strategically placed along with the water hazards. Need I say anymore? I think you got the picture of a real golf course, the way it's supposed to be for us who pay to play the game we love. It's in my must play book every year. Go play this little gem of a course and it will be in yours too.

Frost delay disaster

2 hour frost delay caused insane all day back ups. Arrived at 1 for 1:39 tee time, there were 10 groups ahead still waiting to tee off.

Teed off 2:15 and spent 9 holes watching the foursome in front of us play golf 10+ minute wait every hole. Finished 9 nearly 3 hours later and near dark. Course couldn't refund money because golf now booked and paid. Golf now refunded 9 holes but probably most miserable day on a course yet. Staff was super nice and apologetic but wow what a nightmare ruined my whole Saturday's
