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.

Perfect morning
Course was in great shape. A few holes are wet, based on environment. Greens in great shape. The traps could use a little more sand but were relatively good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Fairways were in great condition, well maintained. Will play course again.
Recommended
A fun course to play with tight fairways and water. It was in great shape considering it is March. We will play here more frequently.
Course was in excellent shape. Pace of play was great, but bear in mind that it was midweek. Very walkable. Lots of trees line the fairways so you need to keep your drives in play. Greens were faster than expected. Nice course, but a bit off the beaten path.
Well maintained fairway , rough and green
Overall, great experience to play, very well maintained - green was a bit difficult due to fast speed
Definitely want to play again.
Thank you
Good tough course but not unfair. Price is expensive, but there is some value… get what you pay for.
Should be $100 or less
Great overall, just should not be $125+. Too many trees that are right in the middle of the fairway. Front desk worker was slow and unorganized. If it was $90 or less id play there all the time, but frankly not worth the premium price.
Beautiful course
First time playing on this course. Was very impressed from start to finish with the staff, conditions of the course and pace of play. A little pricey, but I think it’s worth it.We will return..
Nice golf course. Dynamic pricing so you have to keep an eye out. 50$ hot deal great value, 125 normal rate quite steep IMO
Sweet course
It was a very nice layout flat wish it was more hilly, but that’s OK would recommend
Solid Go To Course
I like Bowling Green. People who work there are very nice. Beautiful trees line many of the holes. Particularly the first two, beautiful tall pine trees. Good course on a hot day because of the shade.
It was surprisingly wet. Not sure why so it was soft. I repaired so many ball marks of previous players - not sure why they don't fix ball marks. Tees a bit chewed up but fairways were nice and greens as well. A tad slow and very soft.
At $67 with the cart, I'm happy to play this course. But higher or above $100, which I believe it can climb on weekends, just not worth it.
1st time playing the course, I heard it was a bit challenging. A nice layout with 4 long par 3's. Most tee shots were not automatic driver. Some tight fairways and stratgic placed trees made the you think about club selection off the tee. I would play Bowling green again but the negatives I take way, a lot of divots on the greens and fairways and many bunkers weren't raked and tee boxes were a bit chewed up which made it appear and look more of a muni and priced like a premium course. A little better groundskeeper attention and adjust the price to $90-$100 would be the best move.
