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.

6th Tee Photo submitted by agurango on 05/24/2013
great courses
We enjoyed this club. A staff was very friendly and great courses conditions even though we waited for an hour due to frozen greens.
Traditional layout, good pace of play, good challenge from the blue tees.
Lots of leaves at this time of year. Greens were sanded a while ago so they are running pretty nice. Fairways still very green. Beautiful place. Just need to remove leaves a little better.
Greens are sand right now
Have been playing here 35 years. A very fine parkland track. However they lost the greens this summer and heavily aerated and sanded them. They will not recover probably til May. They are mostly sand now altho the aeration holes have filled in.
Have no idea what prior bloggers were looking at in rating the greens as excellent.
Highly recommend this course once greens recover
Great Deal on Hot Deal
Do not play until the leaves are gone. Your ball can be in the middle of the fairway and you have no chance of finding it. Otherwise the course is worth playing.
Fine Little Course
Second time this year I've played Bowling Green. Like the course a lot. Got this round for a REALLY discounted rate on GolfNow, which was outstanding. Fairways are still in fantastic shape for this time of year. Only complaint was that they had just aerated the greens, and it was not mentioned when I booked the tee time. Clearly, that's why the price was lower, but it should still be mentioned when you're looking to book. Having said that though, course still looked good. Very well taken care of. Recommend to anyone.
Pace of play too slow
This is a nice course, but the pace of play was too slow. They really need to have a ranger on the course moving the large number of slow golfers along.
Nice course and friendly staff
Incurred a 1 hour frost delay (8am). Pro shop supplied free coffee to golfers waiting. All in all a great place to golf.
Excellent conditions. fast greens. plush fairways
Very well maintained course...the greens were fast and the fairways were plush and full. loved the narrow fairway design and the doglegs. made for a enjoyable round that challenged you at every turn. only negative was there were leaves on the course but they were out blowing them away all day.
Course was in great shape -
A fun round. Greens were true and fairways were in great shape. The only problem was losing a few balls in the leaves, which has to be expected this time of year
WOW
The greens at this course have never been better. I could not find an unrepaired bal mark nor an imperfection on the putting surface. The leaves are starting to falls, but the grounds crew was out there working hard. Great layout and the owners are making great strides to making a good course great.
excellent course
picturesque tree lined fairways, well kept, with super friendly staff
Tight fairways
Decent course. Hole #4 is very gimmicky. A par 5 with a very sharp dogleg and a layup off the tee. Other than that I liked it. The greens are in fair shape. The tee boxes were shaggy or bare at spots but level. It was my first time here and I'd come back.
Worth the 4 hours.
Always a good experience at Bowling Green. Staff monitors pace of play.
Fun course. Good value. Nice course for walking.
Fun course. Good value. Nice course for walking. Very nice staff. Has a full driving range including practice bunkers which is rare for a public course - a nice feature. Tee boxes a little chewed up and a little uneven. Greens were aerated and had sand when I played so were molasses slow but that is in the name of maintenance so what can you do about that? Would play again and would recommend.
Aerated Warning!!
The entire putting greens and tee boxs were aerated. The proshop emplyee told us that the cousre will not aerated till mid Setember over the phone five days before we played. Very disappointed!!
Fastest round I've ever played
Course was in beautiful shape. Every green was true and fast. Played as a twosome and after catching up with a foursome on the third hole they let us play through. 3.5 hour round. 58 bucks on a Thursday from golf now definetly worth it. I don't think I'd pay 108 on a weekend but that's more of a budget thing then it not being worth it!
Nice golf coarse. Good challenge Greens were borderline losing them do to heat Not worth what they charge in comparison to courses in area
Very nice coarse not worth what they charge in comparison to courses in area. Worth playing if you can find the deals
condition
best shape in years ! fairways perfect, bunkerer clean , green great !
a good experience
this course is in very good shape and the staff is very courteous
Challenging tree lined course. 18 is a great finishing hole!
Course was surprisingly dry for all the rain we've had.
Greens slowed by all the moisture.
Tee'd off @ 3:30 done by 7:30.(4 some)
Well worth the $$
