Rating Snapshot
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
Retains water
This is a narrow course and when it rains, it retains water everywhere (fairways, tee box and greens)! This is my 2nd experience at this course and both times, it was a slopfest.
Great Course and biergarten!
Course is great. Plays fast both in pace and in terms of green speed and was in very good condition considering the recent heat/drought. Layout is somewhat challenging, but fun. Service was great all around and the biergarten was a great bonus (and worth the trip alone for the beer available on tap). A bit pricey compared to others in the area, but worth it. Will definitely play again!
Amazing staff and conditions!
Greens although hard rolled true! My group was running late and we had a last minute dropout. Instead of telling us to kick rocks, which they had all the rights to, the staff gave me rain check for gift card for the next time we book an outing and the starter bumped us a few slots back.
The range we fully stocked with practice balls, and the carts were waiting for us.
Can not recommend this course more, I can’t wait for when I go back.
Great course
This place is terrific. It was a bit of a drive for me, but worth it.
Great Course
The course is very nice and the starter does a great job.
One of the most well kept courses I’ve ever played.
Wonderful place to play golf. I loved it there. Greens fairways in pristine condition. And the beer garden was a great after party.
Great course in north NJ
Great place to play. Staff is excellent. Watch out for the hornets in the sand traps. That’s a huge issue. Otherwise an enjoyable round.
Classy
Like playing a private course, highly recommend you play this course yourself.

Great course with a fantastic pace of play. We never waited. It’s tight so it tests your skills.
Must Play ⛳️
A wonderful day. Played early morning. Beautiful layout with amazing views. Tee to Green was in great condition. Challenging greens with many levels. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Worth the money and time. Try the Grill Room . Good food and drink .A true Country Club experience. Complementary balls to warm up at the range. I would suggested earlier is better .
5 hour pace of play
The group in front of us spent 15 minutes on every tee box. Paid over $100 and had an early tee time on a week day. We called the front desk three times to push the group in front of us and nothing changed. For the money and the way the rangers push the pace of play it’s definitely not worth what they charge to play.
Great day at Bowling Green
Course was in great shape. Staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. Off course food and drink options are excellent.
