Ok for hackers
For the price ($42) it really is not a bad deal and is a good spot for beginners. Just don’t expect lush manicured fairways or nice tee boxes. The greens were not half bad. It’s an interesting layout, as I’ve never seen a Par 6... It is what it is, a decent cheap full 18 hole course.
Bad shape
On a positive note, the greens were nice. Nothing else was. Fairways were mostly weeds and tees were spotty. The course is too short but tight. If you are not straight, you are in trouble. No ranger on the course keeping the pace steady was a problem with the slow group in front of us.

We will continue to look for ways to improve, and thank you for playing Green Tree Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Ok course
First time playing this course. Only played the front nine so can’t speak for the back nine, but overall not a great track. Not much reward for putting the ball in the fairway as the fairways were not in good shape. The rough around the green made it hard to chip and it was very patchy and overall not very good. The best pro of this course might have been the greens as they were in good shape and had good speed despite rain from the previous night. Lots of marsh/pond guarding the greens, I think 4 of the 9 holes were that way. Two very short par 4s and a 100 yard par 3.
It was only $19 to walk (28 to ride) and one of the few courses in the area to allow you to play only 9 instead of 18, as well as walk (and pay less) as opposed to riding.
If you’re looking for a short track to get in a quick 9 or 18 down the shore for cheap then this is your place (pace of play was good). If you’re looking for a notch better then you might want to check out one of the courses up on Ocean Heights, but you’re also going to pay a lot more.

Good value and decent course requires precision
I was on vacation and decided to take advantage of a good bargain and give this course a try. It wouldn't say it's a top notch course, but it was a good bargain. The course required patience and precision. If you want to be aggressive and drive it on the green on a couple of holes, there's a good chance you end up in the drink. I've never hit so many branches in my life, but that's what happens when you stray from the fairways. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and will give this course another try in the future.
Sorry for the confusion. The reason I gave 3 stars because as we were finishing up our last couple of holes a tournament of seniors was placed ahead of us. If I had arrived for a 10am tee time, it would've been a long day!
Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Thank you for choosing Green Tree Golf Course. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time!
Great Time
I really enjoyed playing this course. Loved the par 6 (birdied), surprise of water on hole # 10, the sharp dog leg on hole # 14. one birdie and 7 pars no bad for first timer. definitely consider coming back for more punishment.
Thank you for your review, Marcos. We're glad you enjoyed the challenge. We will pass along your positive experience to our team @GreenTreeGCNJ. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Course needs work
This is usually my go to course as a resident and can’t beat the price. Was disappointed today in the course conditions . Rough was an understatement and the fairways were narrow .The fringe around the greens was brutal. Greens played fast and were in good shape . Tee boxes were fair . No problem though , I’ll be back

Fun course - deserves a higher difficulty rating.
Course was in good shape BUT they need to mow/cut the forward tee boxes most of which had higher grass than the rough!!!

Some spots of the course were a bit dry, but we haven’t had a good rain in awhile. Some of the ladies tee boxes had not been cut as well. That being said, it was a beautiful day and the pace of play was wonderful. I will definitely be playing here again. Great course for the price!!

No Rush, Excellent Greens
3.5 hour round for three of us. Greens were in great shape, had a challenging but fair pace to them. Had two holes of separation between my group and the group behind us.
Hello. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Green Tree Golf Course. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
Great Pace of Play
My wife and I played as a twosome following a group of three immediately ahead of us. Other than on the par 3’s, we rarely had to wait to hit our next shots. The course followed Covid-19 protocols with 16 minutes between tee times and the result was a perfect pace.
The overall course conditions were about average but the greens rolled true. The staff was efficient and friendly and we had a fun round at a reasonable cost.
