About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 5574 yards
Slope 112
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.

This course is the worst course in new jersey

The worst ever. It’s better to play the 12 hole par three in ocean city. It’s ink better shape and that course is terrible but it’s $15 and a par three!!

Ever Green a winner tip

I had 6 hours of down time as my kids and grand kids were on the beach in Ocean City. A pleasant surprise. As a senior, the gold tees are magic here.! The par 4s are do-able, the par 5s are not overwhelming, even that par 6 can be managed. I will be back

Solid

Very solid course for those who shoot 90-100+ range. Some fairways are in bad shape, greens are mostly good, and overall course is playable. Each hole is unique and very par-able. Clubhouse staff is very friendly and engages with the golfers in a positive manner. Will definitely be back to play a few more times this year.

Shame about the rain

Played over 2 days as course closed after 2 holes due to rain. 2nd day was wet but playable, great fun course, short but tight with some really different holes. Fairways were a bit rough greens extremely soft when we started but improved. Shame that people don’t repair their pitches as the greens are really quite good.
Look forward to playing again.

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.

Par 6!

First time playing this course and to be honest at first I was skeptical. Not only did it did it exceed my expectations, I shot my personal best thru 18 ever. If you’re looking for a fun time with your friends, this place is it. The par 6 is pretty wild.. 662 yards. Are you going for it in 3 or 4?

A good place to improve your game or lower your handicap

The last time I played this course it was late March. At that time the course needed work; like most courses.This time, it was late June. The tee boxes are in good shape. They are also spaced out in a fair manner. The fairways range from " playable" to good. No fairway is in great shape.
Just off the fairway, on every hole, there is rough that would be a little higher than the average first cut, or, there is no grass at all; just dirt or sand. But! don't get me wrong, it's not all that bad. The greens are the comeback story of this course. They range from good to very good. like many golf courses, once you get the ball on the green, the second part of the challenge begins; getting the ball actually in the hole. These greens are a doable challenge.
Over all in an area where you could spend 80 or 90 dollars for not a whole lot better, this place is fine. The atmosphere is lay back, ; and the conditions let you try for a good game. Most of the holes make you think. There is even a par 6. For 35 dollars you play this course and the money you saved you can spend on some food and drink and gas for your car. Give it a shot
