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.

Nice Muni

Beautiful Day . Course is very challenging. Lots of rough. Tee to Green good condition. Many holes play long with plenty of sand and a few water holes. . Can be busy with long waits. Took 2 hours 20 min to play nine. Overall a nice day on the course.

Ok purse, short but challenging

pace is a bit slow, tee boxes are a bit beat up, the course although short requires some challenging tee shots and second shots that need to carry hazards, I got some awe full sideways bounces!

Nice course in decent shape except for sand traps.
Wouldn’t recommend playing here after it rains…. Course doesn’t seem to drain well
Bring bug spray. Should enforce pace of play more/ better.

Horrible treatment to golfers. Always bad attitudes as well

I’ve been playing here for 10 years and never have I heard the bs rule of “once you drive to the back 9, you can’t get refunded”. Lightning in the air and starting to rain. Didn’t hit a tee ball and you can’t refund any money of the jacked up rates you charge for rounds. Terrible experience and customer service. Best of luck!

Not to mention how rude the staff is 9/10 being there. County member and resident. Surely won’t be back which is a shame because this is my home town course. Do better.

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.
