★ 4.5 (432) Easy to bookLane Tree Golf Club in Goldsboro is an 18-hole course with a 4.5 Google rating from 432 reviews. Golfers frequently mention the friendly, professional staff, a decent pro shop, and a large grass driving range with inexpensive range balls, and the breakfast biscuits before early tee times get high marks.

It's been quite a while since I've been here so it was nice to make a return trip. It was a weird day since we ended up playing the front 9 twice due to the pace being slow, but i know the course so here's the review. Tee Boxes 4/5 - I like that this course has sand buckets on each of the par 3 tees. People fail to use them, but it's nice to have for those that do. Fairways 4/5 - For the most part, the fairways are in great shape with some exceptions where some dead patches have eaten up a couple faiways like hole 7. Greens 4.5/5 - Some dead spots on the edges, but other than that they are practically perfect. They run at an 11 while on the course, and the slopes vary between the gentle and the extreme. Bunkers 2/5 - My dad was in the the bunkers slot today, and we both have to admit they need new sand. It was the day after a rain, but there was standing water. Rough 4/5 - Not bad, but not uniform. Far enough from the fairway becomes patchy. Layout 5/5 - A great example of balance, it has everything you want to experience in a golf course. Good placement of hazards that add authentic by making use of the natural landscape. Amenities 5/5 - Probably the best practice facilities I've been to. Several tiers of grass driving range, pitching/chipping green with bunker, and separate putting green. The cost has gone up, but that is the same everywhere and the course conditions can easily command $50+ so it's a good deal. I'll be back again.
Today was my first every visiting the restaurant and I'm shame to say I have lived in Goldsboro all my adult life. As soon as I walked in the guy behind the counter was very friendly. I can tell some of the customers were regulars from the way he interacted with them. The food was awesome. I will most definitely be back and maybe sit down and eat. Please give them a try if you haven't already ❤️
Nice course with a decent pro shop and friendly staff. Breakfast biscuits before our early morning tee time were outstanding and fairly priced. Driving range balls are cheap. I would like to see a better kept up range though tbh. All in all I would recommend to anyone in the area or otherwise, looking to have a pleasant day of golfing.
Man think this is a great deal. I'm down from the northeast and this is a great place for twice the price. Of course it's November so everywhere is less now. Big grass driving range. Big two tiered putting green also . Challenging course even though it's not too long. Lots of ponds and sand traps. Friendly staff. Have only encountered friendly golfers too Will be back!
For starters, the staff I dealt with was very friendly and professional. They need signs around the parking lot area for where the pro shop is, 1st & 10th tee box along with cart returns. The view (see pics) was nice for the most part. Some of the tee boxes need work as well as some greens. Lots of bumps, dips and divots and what looked like deep knee marks, possibly from people kneeling, on greens and one in particular was very bad(see pic). There should have been a $5-$10 discount for the course not being up to par. If you use a golf app and have Verizon, it’s sketchy and makes you second guess your shots due to network issues…this is not a fault of course management but just a tip for someone playing the course who never has, like my group and I. It was very wet from the 2.5” of rain the day prior. Bunkers retained a lot of water and were unplayable. Overall, my group liked it very much with it having the nice views, elevation changes and may come back.
