Green Crest Golf Club
About
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.

Pretty Good Option
Pros
1. Great shape overall.
2. Rough wasn't as punishing as some places
3. Greens are in excellent condition.
4. Fairly easy to get to.
Cons
1. Some of the tees are a little hard.
2. Greens, while in excellent shape, are fairly small. Roll offs are pretty common, although the fringe is certainly more putt-able than a lot of other places.
3. The par assignments don't always make a lot of sense. On the front 9 for example, two holes with about the same yardage, but one is a par 5 and the second a par 4. And at least IMO the par 4 is harder than the par 5 because of the water placement. I'd say make them both 4 or both 5.
4. Some spots have some pretty significant road noise. Doesn't other me but at least one other person I play with doesn't like it for that reason.
Minor concerns though overall. Good value with the Golf Now deals.
Fun course
Good pace of play, nice condition for the course, staff very friendly. Good time at Green Crest which is typically the case. Will play here again when the opportunity presents itself.
Good for money
Course was in pretty good shape, decent facility, friendly staff. Only downside was there were about 3 groups waiting to tee off at the same time so got stuck waiting the first 6 holes until the groups ahead of us spread out a bit
Nice conditioned fairways, excellent greens
Fairways lush and greens are smooth and about 10 on Stemp. Narrow fairways and lots lots of trees require straight tee shots. Can go with less thst driver on most holes, but a couple of real long (460 yds+) par 4s do require driver.
Flat, but enough water and trees to punish errant shots. Very enjoyable and challen
ging round. We played "Blue tees", at just over 6,000 yds, but don't let that seemingly short length fool you. Fast and often "mounded" greens will frustrate approach shots. Will play again.
Very very slow pace
Waited at least 15 mins between holes and 5-10 mins for second. Took nearly 4 hours to get through the front nine. We actually left and didn’t make the turn. Way to many tee times per hour in my opinion.
SLOOOW
Slow, definitely isn't a 40+ dollar a round course.
We apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the pace and value. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to improve your impressions in the future.
Decent Course, Rude Golfers
The course is fine, even with the oddly warm off season, the course was kept in good condition. 6 beers is almost the price of 9 holes which seems kinda steep but it’s whatever.
The other golfers were pretty rude to be honest, I was in a group of 3 and while we know we are a little slower (we are newer to golf) most people are considerate since we aren’t terribly slow, and if we feel like we are being too slow, we just let them pass to return the consideration.
Golfers here were FAST, we had never been rushed this much in all of the courses we had been too, and when we let people go ahead of us they had an attitude and didn’t thank us except for one group of teenagers. So take that as you will, it might not be a big deal for you and your group, but if you’re looking for a cheaper course to practice and learn to golf, I’d avoid this one for now unless you’re willing to take the risk.
I WOULD come back here, but maybe once my group gets a bit better.
Never going back
Way too over booked teed off at 12 and didn’t get to finish and they let groups of 6 people walk in front of us tee times were 3 minutes apart
