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.

6th Tee Photo submitted by agurango on 05/24/2013
Absolute rip off
I have always loved playing bowling green and was excited to come back. When I saw the cost was 120$ I was a little surprised but figured it would be in the excellent shape. I was wrong. Charging 120$ for beat up greens, overgrown tee boxes and poor conditions in areas of the rough and fairways is absolutely ridiculous. I’m sad that I will never come back here as it used to be one of my favorite courses in the area.
Excellent Service
This course is great, but the best thing about it is the service that you get while you are here. Autumn has to be one of the best cart girls in the area conversation is great and her detailed service is second to none. Once you are done golfing, you had into the Beer Garden and that’s where Jill’s expertise of service takes over. Whether you are having the burnt ends or the loaded fries or the buffalo wings or maybe all of them you never have to wonder where your server is because Jill is the best in the area. The course plays great. It is tight in areas, but forgiving in other areas to make up for that. Definitely a must try it if you’ve never been. Or put it in the weekly rotation, and become a regular.
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.
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!!
