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.

Good value - no frills - fun time

I got there early in the morning as was able to get out before the rush. I could see it starting to crowd up by the time I made the turn, but nothing too crazy. It’s a fun course if you are not all about the pomp and luxuries of a resort-style venue. If you are on vacation and looking to just get out and golf and go, it’s your kind of place.

Not A Bad Place To Chase The Ball

First time playing in 2 years. Grew up playing at Green Tree from the time i was a little boy. Always like the layout. It’s a fun place to play. Greens were good but the fairways were pretty bad. If they had the money to fix it up a little more i think it would be a little gem of a place. Overall though, not gonna complain. The place is what it is and it’s been like that for years. I’ll be back 👌🏼

Greens were excellent.

Highlight for the course were the conditions of the greens and the pace of play. And an excellent value for the shore

Staff with no etiquette

Course was not in good condition. Staff was yelling across holes while we were teeing off. Played at 8am on a Friday and there was a backhoe iding for two holes. Woman cutting the grass had terrible attitude yelled at us for hitting near her while she was mowing the fairway rough. Would not recommend with current management.

Looking good!

Improvements are consistently being made on this course and it's starting to show some good signs. Greens are in great shape for this early in the season so hopefully they can keep them that way. If you are hungry, Mac's Sports Pub has excellent food, and make sure you try the fries! We will definitely play here again!

A lot of dog legs

The first hole par 5 dogleg right, maybe 210 to dogleg. then a par 6 third with ponds, creeks narrow fairways and fescue, small greens. The approaches have to be accurate or run off into ponds.

Not Bad At All

This is a great place to work on your game. The course was in good enough shape for early April. The greens were in good shape.. the tee boxes were present, , the tees varied on quality of condition.. but the design of the greens were a challenge. It's a good place to play for the money ( compared to other places in the area). Oh-- by the way-- they have a par 6 !

A good place to work on your game

This is my third time playing this course. I live in Maine. Whenever I am going to play some place with good players, I use this course to get ready.. This is a county course that could be a really nice course if they just spent more time and money. The tee boxes are well placed but they need work. They are useable but not great. The fairways need work. The grass is only available in various locations on each hole.. The good part of this review is that the greens are in great shape. And every green is a challenge.. All in all, it's ok. They also have a good driving range
It's early in the season; Iam sure this course will evolve into a fine place to play golf with friends.
