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.

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.
Golf as it was meant to be
That phrase is written on the scorecard, and it caught my eye, because it was true. I've played at some dumpy courses, and I've played at private clubs at charity events, and Bowling Green fell perfectly in the middle...not dumpy, and not pretentious. The staff was very friendly and the course was in great shape.
Great course!!
It was my first time playing here..good impression from the starter Ed... course is great condition greens are pretty fast which we were very happy..
Best of all was pace of play.. lots of golfer but still 4hours~~ I fully recommend this course..

Course in great shape for all the rain we have had. Pace of play was excellent, finished in just under 4 hours. Suggest you use one more club on par threes.
No rain check because the green fee was purchased via Golfnow
Played only 5 holes due to heavy rain and the greens were covered with water. They said no rain check because I purchased through Golfnow. Frustrated. The staff at nearby Berkshire and Flanders are much more friendly and professional.
Great course, overbearing staff
I hadn't played Bowling Green in sometime but wanted to go back because it is a true hidden gem. The tree lined fairways, great play ability for all levels, and value are just a few reasons to play. With that said, as great as the course is, the staff thinks this place is Baltusrol or Ridgewood. While getting ready to tee off, we were given the cart rules for the day. You literally needed a pen a paper as it seemed every hole had a rule (it had not rained in two weeks so it was bone dry). We didn't get 100 yards down the fairway and I looked back a saw a cart approaching our group. I was scolded saying didn't you hear what I told you? I said I'm sorry a moved on. Then on number 6, a maintenance worked came after us for riding too far in the rough. I finally said..."sir, where the .... do you want us to ride??" It was such a shame because you felt on pins and needles all day that a staff member was following you (which they did a few times after #6). I would 100% recommend Bowling Green, but make sure you bring a pad and pencil and if your walking, repair every divot and hallmark. They're watching.
A Hidden Gem . . . and a Keeper.
My wife (whose drives average 180-200 yards) and I love this course. It is tree lined, with a ton of water and lakes and marshes. It is beautiful, quiet, exceptionally well maintained and reasonably challenging.
We will go back again and again to this course. It is a hidden gem and a keeper.
Always a favorite layout
As has happened in the past when we book a round through GolfNow the Pro Shop staff tries to bump the price or deny the DEAL. This causes friction. If they don't want to list a DEAL on GolfNow they shouldn't. We booked a foursome and have played the course several times in the past ten years. The other issue with the staff is with regard to pace of play. They pride themselves on a 4:15 round. If you have finished the front nine in under 2 hours and are keeping pace with the group in front of you, there is no reason for a ranger to follow your group around. It creates a very uncomfortable feeling. We finished in just over 4 hours. The bar staff was very nice.
Nice course, good deal on GolfNow.
Me and my golf buddies have come here 2-3 times over the last few years. Course is in good shape considering how little rain North Jersey and the Hidson Valley area has gotten this spring. That being said, the fairways were a bit shaggy, which is is totally understandable. If you don't water it and keep it a bit longer, it'll brown out and be a dust bowl.....and then the super loses his job. A bit pricey, but a decent deal can be had on GolfNow.....I paid $24! We will be back.
must play
one of a kind in this area, classy old course. tree lined
the pines, ponds, i always enjoy this course.
very well kept, someone cares and their pride shows.
Tough course. Very tight.
Course is in good shape. But who ever put the pin placement thought the PGA was playing there. There was a high school tournament pin placement was in very difficult places. The course is hard as it is.
Always in great shape
Found a great deal on Golfnow. The course was in great shape. Greens were a little slower than I remember but still rolled true. Pace of play was a little slow due to the group in front of us but was still better than most courses. 4.5 hours This is a fun challenging course if you've never played there. You are missing an enjoyable round at a great course.
Great track
Serene place to enjoy a great day. A little pricy however challenging with dogs going to the left and right. Working the ball is a plus here.
You have trees on the left on some holes and to the right on other.
Tees for all types of abilities and very good food to boot.
