Green Crest Golf Club is a player-friendly course located in Middletown. The course was designed in 1972, offering a traditional layout with wide, forgiving fairways and short roughs. The golf course is on the shorter side at 6,271 yards from the back tees, which is indicative of the time it was designed. Strategically placed bunkers lurk along the medium-sized greens on six holes and there are water hazards coming into play on eight holes, but the challenges are straightforward and don't present too much trouble for high handicappers. It might not be the golf course you're looking for if you want a truly formidable test, but it's a good option if you're looking for a quick and affordable round. Green Crest Golf Club is ideal for beginners and even gentle enough for juniors.

Good for all levels

The course is a gem within the area. With many courses struggling to remain private, or even keep their doors open, it's good to have a thread of goodness. I find the course easy on some days, while other days I can't seem to avoid the fairway defining trees. If your hitting the ball reasonably straight in the range of 225, you will do well. If your tee shot advances beyond 250 yards, you will swear that the humps around the fairway edges are designed to punish you for the slightest hook or slice. You will certainly master the low branch defying shot when attempting to over power the modest course length. The greens are pretty good, which is the way I usually define the conditions of a course. Enjoy the demand for a crafty short game at greencrest.

Very disappointed

Green Crest promotes overbooking and the ranger could care less about speed of play. I will never play this course again. Such a shame .It is really a good course layout. I have played and enjoyed golf for over 55 years Worst experience I have ever had.

Fairways & Tees need TLC

Layout is fun and at times narrow. Fairways very disappointing - many bare spots and plenty of weeds everywhere. Tees had a lot of weeds. Greens and green areas in good shape.

I won’t likely return until someone writes a review that grass has returned,

Tougher than it looks

Enjoyed playing this course. We played from the blue tees and this adds quite a bit of yardage to your tee shots. It’s not a place for wayward drives

Next time I play this course I will leave my driver at home and probably play the white tees (there green tees here) almost all the fairways are tight

With parallel fairways for most of the holes with dense trees in between. The greens are very busy

With most of them sloped from center out and several undulating breaks. If you don’t bring your putting A Game, plan on 2-3 putting every hole unless you stick it close. It’s a challenging course

But a fun one. Will definitely play again.

It has been dry and the fairways were in rough shape. But tee boxes and greens were good.

Play this course smart and you should be able to come home with a good score.

Slow play and brutal course conditions

I am not one to complain to often. The staff and ranger are really nice. We had a group in front of us 2.5 holes behind. Most fairways have little to no grass. If you play the ball down I’d suggest adjusting rules. I’d like to see the course continue to be maintained rather than being sold for real estate. The conditions make me think while the markets high they’ll sell. The putting green is relatively small and doesn’t reflect the courses greens. No driving range either.

Slow play need rangers

The play was extremely slow. There were no rangers on course although there appeared to be a starter/ ranger, but he wasn’t doing anything.

A lot of hacks on the course.. and it was a mid day weekday tee time.

Maybe that’s when all the hacks come out ;(

Slowest golf ever

We realize it was a holiday weekend but the pace of play was unacceptably slow. The first three holes took an hour- sometimes three foursomes were waiting to tee off on the same hole. We kept thinking the pace would improve but it didn’t happen

The people working were very nice; just think the tee times were too close together and the ranger might have needed to address slow playing groups.
