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.

6th Tee Photo submitted by agurango on 05/24/2013
Fantastic place
Drove an hour from NYC to play here. Was worth the travel. Loved this course. Layout. Staff. All top notch. Will be back for sure!
Bad Timing
Unfortunately, I played the course after three days of rain... It was pretty wet fairways, cart path only and the tee boxes were beat up with lots of divots. Course was challenging and there were a couple gimmicky type holes, but overall the course layout was good.
Fantastic Course
Rained the day before so I checked on the morning if it was cart path only . . . No mention of it . . . When we got there it was cart path only . . . No issue HOWEVER on hole 16 the "ranger" says to the guys we are paying with WE have to step it up . . . On cart path only I doubt it . .. . Glad to see he thought he was doing his "job" however all he did was infuriate us because we were fine before he woke up and came to work . . . Pace of play will be extended during cart path only rules it ONLY MAKES SENSE
Well maintained and friendly staff
Well maintained course with friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Course in great shape
Greens were in excellent shape course and play was at a good pace . Would definitely play again
Bowling Green
Second time playing the course. Good, solid course. Great condition. Good pace of play. Nice staff. Great facilities.
Not a bad day
I played here years ago (I thought) and did not think much of it-my bad, wrong course…I liked the track, greens were great, end of day on a holiday so a few pitch marks but thats on the dopes playing that day. Not sure how the group in front of us were let out a foursome with 2 bags…they would tee off once the group in front were putting, added some time to our round, by 14 they were gone-no idea if they ran out of balls, or the course removed them.
Bowling Green (Always a Good Time)
Always love coming back to Bowling Green. A little gem tucked away in a secluded section of Oak Ridge near the Sparta boarder. Course is well maintained, somewhat challenging, new electric golf carts but very walkable. Biggest complaint is the green fees have gone up quite a bit in the last couple of years. This time I paid twilight rates. Nonetheless, I continue to come back because it is a fun course to play. Beautiful, especially in the fall.
Challenging yet fun
Beautiful course. I’m relatively new to golf so this was challenging, but really fun to play. Will definitely be going back.
