Info Please
Ok.. I play this course quite often to just get ready for my league play because I know I can jump on anytime with good value. While I played yesterday, I was disappointed. The pro shop should have told me about the conditions of the tee boxes and greens. They we horrible. While I recognized that the greens were sanded it would have been nice to know up front. It just seems that the course has been let go since it's fall. I played 7 holes and left. You guys are better then what I saw yesterday.
Just wow, in the worst way
I have played here many, many times, usually as some sort of practice rounds as the hole layouts are odd and the conditions of the fairways and rough are inconsistent and relatively poor. I have no idea what happened here since the last time I played, but OH MY. The greens resembled baseball infields, being 80% mud and 20% weird grass Tufts. It's not aeration, it looks as if the greens were completely removed by accident, and the remedy was to throw a little grass seed at it. The tee boxes were completely unplayable with little to no grass. The fairways were mud and sparse grass, and the rough was inconsistently mowed nonsense. For their sake I hope the course was vandalized, because this was not a golf course, no matter how cheap the deal.
Great value and challenge!
Good course for the beginner and intermediate golfer as well as some unique challenges for the low handicapper. John Hammer continues to improve the course each year and the staff is very friendly led by Assistant Golf Professional, Justin Riggs.
Fun course , accuracy more inportant than distance
Fun place to play , the eighth hole is very challenging, greens are in great shape..bring bug spray the flys are a real problem sometimes..
Staff very friendly
Thought my tee time was at 2:20 when it was 3:20. Staff put me out with the next tee time when they arrived. I thought that was good business sense.
Great time.
Decent course, wonderful staff, great value!
What a deal! Greens fees, cart, club rental, and a sleeve of balls for under $40! With that I expected the course to be pretty dreary, but it was really quite good. The tees and greens were in great shape. There were some dry spots in the fairways but overall they were quite good. Pace of play was good, moving along nicely. It was the first time playing Green Tree for all four of us and we had a wonderful day.
To top it off, I left my GPS on the cart and my brother-in-law left the key to his rental condo in Ocean City on the cart as well. By the time we realized it the course was long closed for the day. I called first thing in the morning and the staff had both items held waiting for a call. We ran over to pick them up and had a wonderful conversation with the gentleman working the pro shop. Friendly, courteous, and professional.
So, I had picked this course based on the positive reviews in Golf Now and was not disappointed. We vacation annually in Ocean City, NJ, and have already agreed that Green Tree is on the agenda for next year. There are other, much more expensive courses in the area, but this was the most pleasant experience I've had in that area. Enjoy!
Senior friendly
Always find the course helping my game. Get to use most of my clubs in my bag.very senior friendly and the staff in the club house are very friendly, polite , and helpful. Think I'm going to purchase a new set of Cleveland clubs asap, from them..
Enjoy playing the course. Have to be careful of shot placement because of all the water hazards. A lot of unique hole layouts
Problem with golf now app
My complaint is not with the coarse but the golf now app. The directions to the coarse provided in your app were 20 miles off. Causing us to miss our tee time significantly and almost not being able to play at all. If there is anything you can do to fix this issue please let me know. Thanks.
Service
Cart broke down on 11th. Made a call & response was excellent. Also comped for future cart fee. Thanks!!
Sprng play
They were redong the parking lot so it made it a little difficult getting around to the hole near the club house other than that the course was in good
Cold day
We had an 8:19 tee time but were delayed for frost. Staff was great with communication of delay, reason, and estimated time we could get out. We got out 1 hour after schedule (earlier then originally thought)! Course was in great shape for the time of year. Definitely looking forward to playing it again.
Fun 50 degree golf
8am tee time was finished at 11.greens were great , tee boxes where fine, fairways I would say winter rules...lots of deer for the holiday season.
Greentree is a great Muni course to walk, all things considered. Total yardage is on the short side, but you still get to use the big stick plenty (there's a par 6, after all). The true-rolling greens are significantly sloped and the staff seem to enjoy brutal pin placements to offset the shorter distances.
The cart paths are terrible and in the off-season, the fairways can get clumpy. Otherwise, you can't go wrong.
Staff are like family (in both good and bad ways)...
