Green Knoll Golf Course in Bridgewater Township has a varied terrain that provides a unique character to the course. The course sprawls across gently rolling hills dappled with mature trees. Much of the course's challenges are a result of the tricky contours. Some of the elevation changes are dramatic but there are also some subtle ones, which can be just as tricky. Further accuracy is required to maneuver the tight fairways. There are definitely challenges in store throughout but overall the golf course's playability appeals to all skill levels, from novices to avid golfers. It measures a manageable 6,443 yards from the back tees. In addition to the 18-hole course, there is also a nine-hole pitch-and-putt course. Green Knoll is one of five golf courses operated by the Somerset County Park Commission.

Pace of play is slow

I played apart of a foursome and we were only able to get 14 holes in before sunset due to the horrible pace of play held by players ahead of us. While starting at 3:40 in the afternoon I have gotten 18 holes in before 6:30. The groups in front of us changed 3 different times and it seemed like people were just randomly walking up to tee boxes and playing a hole as they felt. It only got worse when the group in front of us changed again and we waited 18 minutes for the group in front of us to get off of the green and move on to the next hole. I figured the pace of play would be slow having played here before and have been on course for 5 hours before but this was just unorganized and clearly un supervised. Hopefully the course can enforce pace of play rules and allow games to move smoothly and keep slow selfish players off the course.

Tee box need fixing.

The course was okay with the exception of Teeboxes. I felt like I teeing off from the rough.
I played as single they let me go off the back nine, then had to wait at turn for a foresome to tee off big mistake.
Should of left after nine.

Tee off delay caused by shortage of carts!!

Our tee time was pushed back by 20
minutes because there weren’t enough golf carts for our twosomes to go out. That was disappointing because we weren’t able to finish our round due to darkness as a result of cart shortage.

Extremely Disappointed

The fairway/ rough was bone dry. Dead grass covers almost every hole except for the greens. Course still charges full price in spite of these dry conditions making the round miserable. Vending machine in the pro shop gave me a drink that had clearly been opened and drank from before I purchased it. Pace of play was unacceptable. For the price, it is not worth it.

Unplayable

Only watering greens, fairways are 100% burnt. Do not play, honestly, the course should be closed until we get rain.

Course falls well behind the other county courses. Only three ball washes available with swamp water. Tee boxes in rough shape. Sand in some bunkers, dirt in others
Seems to suffer from a lack of attention.
