Type Public
Par 72
Length 5574 yards

Rating 67.2

The standard 18-hole Green Tree Golf Course keeps in mind both skilled and inexperienced golfers. This public course has tight fairways lined with trees and greens of Rye Grass. The longest tees have a yardage of 5709, playing to a par of 70.

The golf course has three sets of teeboxes to provide an interesting game. There is also a driving range and practice green for beginners or those that would like some practice. The course is accessible from many major roads such as Routes 30 and 40 as well as the Atlantic City Expressway. The first shot is a difficult par-4 dogleg right that has water, bunkers, and heavy forest to look out for.

Good Outing

Average players and this was a good course to work on your skills. Low pressure environment. Course condition not as bad as reviews indicated except one hole on the back 9 being worked on.

Play card map not accurate. Shows water where there isn’t any. Think hole 9 for example.

Overall good outing that did not break the bank

Not worth it!

Course is in terrible shape, waited at 16 holes for 2 to 3 twosomes ahead of us. No ranger, no beverage cart all day, no water on course or ball cleaning machines that had water or worked! Not worth it, regular price was $49 and golf now discount costs $46!

Get what you pay for or less

Course play was very good. The condition of the course was very bad. Most of the fairways were in bad to very bad condition. The cost of the green fees were fair but for the money I would prefer to pay a little more and have better conditions for the course.

Fairways and greens are in rough shape compared to other courses in the area. Greens looked like they have some kind of fungus. No one fixes ball marks which makes putting very difficult. No ranger in site to keep pace of play. Beverage cart would have been awesome seeing as it was a particularly hot day.

Makes sense

It's very inexpensive and should be. First of all the staff is great! Course is very beat up. If you think of it as some kind of links course it helps. A second time around would be probably a great round. Lots of reachable par 4's. Some trouble but once you know where it is you'll be fine. Very nice bar & restaurant. A great deal, but ot for the serious golfer. With the horrible prices other courses are charging it was a very nice day!

Tragically SLOW

For $40 it’s okay. Unfortunately, having drunk obnoxious AHoles playing at no pace and No Ranger to help with pace made the course unplayable. If you want to drink, shout and ride over the greens with your cart. This is the course for you. Can be found in the middle of nowhere south jersey. Do yourself a favor and play elsewhere.

Not Bad At All

I have now played this course about 4 times.

I have played early in the season and mid summer.

The pro shop gets you out on the course; that's their job.

There is a place to eat upstairs. It has great food for an average price. It has views of the course and a deck.

It's a good place for a beer ( or soda) and a burger. The atmosphere is one where you could bring your wife and kids.

No one playing this course is trying to get into the PGA. They are all there to have a nice day out.

The greens are good. The tee boxes are level.

The fairways let your ball run. Some places have rough; others just have dirt. There are water hazards; but there are tee boxes to avoid the water hazards.

It's a nice course for a good day out playing golf near the Jersey Shore.
