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
Group ahead of us was so slow.
The started warned them on the first hole, but rhey were slow all round.
No one else came out to push them.
I would consider not playing here again as this issue was not seriously addressed.
Great round + Nice staff
I've been playing here for years and it never disappoints. Friendly staff, generally good pace of play, incredible bar/restaurant, well maintained course, quality carts.... who could ask for more? It actually seems to get incrementally better each year somehow. A little pricey but at least it's worth the money!
Consistent
The staff and course alway provide a great time. Pace of play is great and course is always in great shape.
Burnt Ends
The course has a great layout, well worth the money. The best is the Beer Garden they have burnt ends that are spectacular. All the food that we had including the pizza was excellent. Great beer menu as well. As good as the courses, the beer garden is as good if not better. Special thanks to Jill for being an outstanding server. Cart girl was extremely helpful as well.
Beautiful course
Pace of play was a bit slower then desired but overall a nice day on the links. Many course improvements since last time played with dryer fairways and less tall fescue. Sand in traps could be fluffier.
Great Place
Good pace and conditions. Greens had been punched recently but they were rolling OK. Teed off on time 4:25 round. Will go back.
Please save your money!!!
This course is OKAY, but for $130 it is a complete robbery. Again the course is in okay shape for any standard public north jersey course, but any comparable course is around $70-80 even on weekends, and any courses that are $100+ blow this place away!!!! PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY, COMPLETE ROBBERY!!
Good but pricey
Nice track in good shape tee to green but greens were a little bare and uneven. On the pricier side of nj daily fee courses
Awful value
Do yourself a favor, and play somewhere else. The fact that they charge $100+ for a round here is embarrassing!! There are numerous courses you can play that are in better shape than this for half the price. The greens still have aeration marks all over the place, no putts role true. Greens have a large amount of unfixed divots (which might not be the courses fault, but start enforcing this??). This course is just in terrible condition for prime golf season. I rarely give bad reviews, but I felt this was warranted for the amount of $$ they charge.
Bowling Green 2023 may
Played here first time last year, definitely a good value, staff super friendly course layout set up for all levels of play.
Little bit of shooting gallery with holes going back and forth and groups not understanding how / when / where to play through or not. Actually had miss hit balls land within feet without a FORE warning. Golfers also seem to never repair ball marks on greens. I probably fixed at least 5 or more every green throughout the day. Greens slow but I understand why.
Long round over 5 hrs on Sunday late afternoon tee time. But if you pack patience and not take too seriously you will have a good time
Nice course but not worth the money
I was expecting more for the $131 it cost per person to buy play here. Carts are old and don’t have any GPS. Course was decent.
