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.

Solid track, well design layout with great course conditions

Just like the title states, it's solid in every way. Tee boxes, fairways were lush and putts rolled true on greens with little to no bumps. Got to enjoy an early morning round with beautiful weather. Layout is pretty straight forward, what you see is what you get. Greens are well maintained and slopes on them for the most part are benign. Solid shots off the tees will get rewarded here. Lunch afterwards was tasty and our server was super friendly. Only negative was getting paired with a single who struggled just to make contact with the golf ball on every shot. I think it's great beginners have the courage to step foot on the course but this man claimed he was an avid player for years. This is by no means the facility's fault. Overall it was a morning round well spent.

Excellent Course

Enjoyed playing this course. Tough but fair. Loved the challenge of the long par 3s. Staff was friendly. Rangers were out and about doing their jobs. Will definitely play here again.

Pace of Play

Our twosome played the round in just a little more than 3 hours on a warm weekday afternoon. The pace of play is one of the best things about this course -- but don't tell anyone. Whoops.

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.
