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.

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

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 👌🏼

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 !
