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
Overpriced
Very AVERAGE facility. Not worth the price, and forget the 4hr round. Obnoxious ranger didn't get it. Couldn't get any food until the turn. Other courses in the area are lower priced and far better layouts and in better shape.
BGGC - Hidden Gem
The course is in great shape and is extremely enjoyable. 3 of the 4 par 3's play 165-205 yds, with one a carry directly over water. Fairways are tree lined on both sides and will carry a penalty trying to get back into play if you miss. Course management is key - playing for your 2nd or 3rd shot is just as important as the tee shot.
enjoyable round
course was in GREAT shape...was close to country club conditions. greens were rolling true and hardly any ball marks.....even the traps were mostly raked.
Great Course, challenging greens
Great course with challenging greens.
Even after rain fall the past night with wet green conditions, the green was not slow as expected which added difficulties as the greens already had some challenging contours. The pro shop could need some improvements as they didn't offered much varieties. However GREAT golf course, and I will be back soon.
Tight tight
This is place is tight and and tricky. Luckily we were paired with a single who knew the course very well. So tight tricky and clearly long. Good luck. Very well kept though
ANDREW
The course is a nice mix of hole types and challenges. Many of the greens are guarded tightly by trees, sand, and the occasional pond. Overall great shape.
Worth the money
This course is in excellent condition. The greens were in great shape and made the experience at this course well worth it. Will be back in the coming weeks.
Value for money
If you're looking for a value for money, this course meets your demand nicely. The course is beautiful and gives you enough challenge to keep you honest and interested throughout the 18 holes play. This course may not be up to the PGA tournament types of standard in terms of challenges and scenic views, etc., but it certainly gives you the feeling that you are rounding in an above average course with its design and maintenance of the field. At the end of the day, I came home satisfied for the money spent cost effectively. Looking forward to visiting this course again soon.
Nice Day
Great course for the money in excellent condition. Played from the blues the course presented a nice challenge, greens consistent speed and the one bunker I found was pristine and a very nice range for warm up.
A gem
Beautiful course with mature trees that make this classic layout a real gem. Plus there are no condos lining the fairways. The staff is friendly and helpful and keeps the pace of play at 4 hours, a real pleasure.
nice course to play with friendly staffs
We went to wrong address, and they are kind enough to delay the tee time for us when we are 30 mins late. Friendly staffs and nice view on the course. good experience even for begineer.
Excellent Course
I live within 25 minutes of Bowling Greem yet this was the first time I played. Course was in great shape but some of the greens were a touch slow since they had recently been sanded. The layout was great, requiring good straight drives to avoid the wooded areas on both sides of many holes. The greens fees are somewhat pricey but the course and good play time (just under 4 hours) are a pleasure. And of course you can look for deals on GolfNow - most of them in the afternoon.
An excellent challenge, and I will play this course again.
Old school charm
Great attitude from the staff, we'll maintained course with some challenging holes, including the 4th. Very pleasant 19th. If you like trees, you'll love this place.
Better than ever
I am a member at Bowling Green and play on the weekends. Since I am retired I like to play at other courses during the week, I like the variety. But year in and year out Bowling Green maintains their course conditions to a high degree. The front nine is tree lined through rolling topography and narrow, the back is flat except for 18 which is a long par 5 uphill. Large greens with subtle breaks are a challenge. It is family owned and run and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is not a "tricked up" modern course, it challenging but fair.
Great course
Courcse was in real nice condition. Good challenge for all golfers.
Great course - worth playing
The course was in excellent shape. Best greens I've seen this year. Course was manicured perfectly. The course has many uniquely designed holes. Great experience.
Great course!
I got a hot deal and matched up with a single. We played the round in just over 3 hours. Challenging course and must get off tee well to score ok. Had a great time and will definately play again.
Conditions worsening
I understand pace of play is important especially here but to have a ranger in our line of sight on every shot when we were pacing at 4 hr 15 min was not worth it especially with such shaggy fairways and inconsistent greens.
