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.

A great deal from GolfNow
Hot deal is hot! You couldn't find any better deal to play at Bowling Green GC like GolfNow offered. $29 per round with actual paid out $34.50 per person. You only need to print the receipt, and ProShop take good care of you totally. Nice course, nice condition, and we all have good time there. Food after the round is excellent, and the service as well.
Always good conditions
Always good conditions at bowling Green can be pricey it's a pretty flat couse and walking a good option now that it's getting cold played a pleasent round for late November well under 4 hours
Beautiful cvoures
Beautiful course in N/W N.J.
Great Conditions, well maintained and friendly staff.
Nice North Jersey course
Expected a less than good round because of the forecast but the rain held off and the course held up. Cart paths only usually make the round much longer but I think all the groups on the course wanted to beat the rain. Hole 4 is a shotmakers hole and the staff did warn about it, but I took a big number and didn't recover on the front nine. Back nine was more forgiving (or I warmed up and played better?). Anyway, the Golf Now price was a steal but not sure I would pay the going rate, but would go back when the leaves change color as much of the area is tree covered.
Good conditions
Friendly staff. Value was ok. They should include a bucket if range balls for $79 green fee. Course was in good condition
Hum~~
I believed this golf course would be really good. I found over all review was 4 star course. Well, as I expected it was not great condition of fairway and green. Value of green fee was not reasonable. I traveled to there 1hour and 30minuetes from NYC. I definitely recomand to other courses for fair enough value of money.
Mostly excellent conditions
One of the better north jersey courses. Narrow fairways and a challenging course. Tee boxes and fairways in excellent condition. Greens must have been recently aerated so they were a little bumpy in spots. The staff was very friendly and the price was great ($34 for an 8:10am tee time). Overall a great experience and would definitely play again.
PERFECT !!
My tee time was 7:10 and I was paired with one other guy. We literally FLEW around the course - finished in 2:55 !! CAN'T BEAT THAT and it's also the reason we both shot so well too. Course was in GREAT shape - no complaints at all !
Excellent Course
Have played this course several times and it is always in excellent shape.. Although a challenging layout ,it is fair and a good test of your game with a great assortment of holes, especially the par 3's.. Pace of play during the week was under 4 hours and when I played on the weekend it was 4 hrs and 15 min.
Nice layout, but greens were slooow
Bowling Green is a fun and challenging layout for most golfers. During yesterday's round the course was very wet (they must've over watered, since we've had minimal rain) and my ball plugged in the fairway and around the greens several times. Greens were also very slooow! With a few tweaks, it should be much better. This course should play hard and fast.
Disappointed this time, still a good course.
I've played Bowling Green well over 50 times and have always been impressed with the conditions. That's one reason why I come back so often. However, this time I was disappointed in that some of the tee boxes were ripped up with divots, but more importantly, it seems like the greens keeper was on vacation the last week or so and no one picked up the slack. The greens on the front nine were so slow you could have used a hybrid for an uphill putt. The back nine got a little better, but it was not up to the standard I am used to at this club. It will not deter me from playing here again as I consider it a blip on the screen, but I do hope it improves. There should never be a bad day of golfing because of the greens.
Something else that doesn't just pertain to Bowling Green, but to all courses. I think people who don't fix their ball marks should be removed from the course immediately. What a disgrace!
CAN'T BEAT IT !!
Got an EARLY BIRD tee time at 7:20 am for 30 bucks and change so it was a WINNER even before I teed off ! Things only GOT BETTER from there, lol !! I teamed up with another single and we FLEW around the course just feeding off of one another's good play . We finished the whole round in 2 hours and 55 minutes - EASILY the fastest round I'd ever been involved in !! Nobody IN FRONT TO SLOW US DOWN and nobody behind us to PUSH US EITHER - there's just NO BETTER WAY that I know of to play golf ! I'll be going back real soon FOR SURE !!
Great Course, somewhat pricey
I play BG a couple times a year. This is a great course testing every club in your bag with plenty of variety. If you can get out for under $60 it’s a no brainer but some of the primetime greens fees are crazy. You will not be disappointed with the course conditions or layout.
good time
Really enjoyable course. Good staff. Very reasonable.
Great Time
This is a fun course, staff are extremely informative and pleasant. I have gone twice so far and plan to go many more times.
the cost
for the price I payed though golf now was a very good deal
bowling green
great bang for the buck. excellent condition. plush fairways. good tee boxes. very puttable greens. pace of play was great on early morning play. hitting straight shots is a big plus for scoring well on this track
Great Track
Well worth your time and money. This course was in great shape. The course was designed and not built. You need to understand the hole to hit the correct club. You should not be hitting driver on the front 9 more then 3 times. Greens were in great shape and had nice undulations. Tee boxes were a bit beat up on some par 3's as they had not been adjusted from the prior day but still very playable. Nice putting green and driving range. You can hardly hear any noise outside of the course, no traffic as the course is a bit off the beaten path. Well worth the drive. I plan on returning many more times and I drive over an hour to get there.
Highly suggested.
Enjoyable outing
Great pace of play. Conditions were good. It would be nice if they put grass in on the driving range instead of hitting off mats.
