Bowling Green Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Good course has gotten even better.
Not much to describe except that it was very satisfying overall. Great course condition. Greens were perfect. Friendly staff. Reasonable pace of play. Just wish I had better game.
36 Holes in 7 Hours
Got their early enough to hit balls, putt and relax before hand; range is short, too short for driver if your a long hitter. Went out 10 minutes early as a twosome as the other two guys hadn't checked in yet. Course is always very wet in the morning, bring a brush for your cleats, they don't have any on the course and it will be needed if you play early. Course is always in good to great shape. The greens get beat up a little bit, but lets face it, that's because of golfers not repairing ball marks and what not. The layout is challenging, but you can usually find errant shots in the heavily wooded course. Greens can roll tricky at times.
After the first eighteen the starter informed of us a great replay deal and we took advantage. The second time out, the course dried out nicely and greens began to roll much faster even though he informed us the stimp was lower than it usually is.
All in all, I play this course several times a year and after this season will probably go more often due to the friendly staff, great rates, and shape of the course.
Great afternoon
Enjoyed the afternoon first at the Grille room for lunch on the deck. Played an afternoon round where the starter said they like to keep it at 4 hours and he was spot on. The course is more than challenging, I happened to run into some friends that are members at private clubs, that says something. Ended the day with a couple of cold ones. I highly recommend this course.
BG is just as solid as it gets
Not going to spend all day on this one. I usually take time to review tracks that have dropped the ball so my fellow golfers can be wary. But BG is worth a huge positive review. It is simply one of the most playable properly maintained courses out there. Few do it as well as they do. Pace is typicalllly pretty solid. On occasion could be better but nothing traumatic. Overall in my humble obsessed 3X a week golfing opinion top 5/6 courses in possibly Jersey at least up north. That's all. Play here, I think the $75 price point is most fair. $100 is a bit of a stretch here.
Great day!
Perfect weather, no one in front of us to slow us down, greens and fairways are in good shape. I visited the beach way too often but everything was nice. The staff was knowledgeable, courteous and willing to go the extra to please. Nice day!
Awesome
Had a great tim out there was rainy but that didnt stop us. Definitely recommend this course to everyone. Beautiful and very well kept..
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!
