Tree House The Course is absolutely stunning. Every hole looks like it belongs in a magazine, and the atmosphere feels so luxurious and calm… until the lawn-blowing crew arrives. They are literally everywhere, right next to you on the tee box and again on the green. It’s incredibly loud, and the faint smell of machine oil really sets the mood for a “relaxing” round of golf.
This actually happened to us last year too, so at this point I’m convinced it’s part of the Tree House experience. Honestly, the green fee should come with a little discount or maybe a free spa day to recover.
That said, their beer and non-alcoholic seltzer are amazing, and the golf shop is a total dream. So many cute things. If they could just add a little peace and quiet to match the scenery, it would be perfection.

Very cool course! Only open on weekdays but that helps keep the greens were mostly in fantastic condition (except for a couple of spots). Each hole is themed after one of their signature beers. There is a beer shack at the midway point (unfortunately closed because we had an early tee time, fair enough). Some great views and a very fun vibe. I’ll definitely be back.

TLDR: This is a fun course that’s a must for any craft beer drinking golfer, but be sure to pack your own waters, especially if it’s hot.
The Pros:
We played in early July, and the course was overall in good shape. Some previous reviews noted tee boxes in poor shape and fairways in rough shape. I didn’t see either of that, both were fine (the fairways seemed in great shape IMO). Greens overall were great and well maintained. There was one green with some type of disease on it, but it was limited to a very small part of it, and you could see they were working to fix it. The day we went was cart path only. If it wasn’t so hot, this would have been a very easy course to walk or use a push cart. It’s not a particularly long or challenging course, but it’s fun.
Being a course owned by a brewery, your options for alcoholic drinks on the course are top notch. There’s a drink stand when you check in, and one near hole 5 that you can also hit up at hole 7. Several beer options, canned cocktails, and N/A seltzers. They also have a N/A “electrolyte” drink that’s fantastic and perfect for a hot day.
In all, for the price it’s a great course. And if you’re a craft beer fan that golfs, you should absolutely check it out. Treehouse excels at the details, and this is no exception.
The cons:
This would have been an easy 5 stars for me except for two things…
Water - there is no place to buy waters onsite (at least from what we were told) and nowhere on the course is a water jug or fill station. There is a fill station in the brewery, but that doesn’t help much once you start your round. In the summer, to not be able to buy water or at least fill up a bottle on the course is wild to me. As noted, there’s a drink stand half way through your round and you can buy their N/A electrolyte drink (which is delicious and very cheap), but there really should be the ability to either buy a water or fill up what you’ve got.
No Ranger - this is a small complaint, but was a bit of a bummer to get stuck behind a group that was absolutely dragging to the point that the group in-front of them was 2+ holes ahead (on a packed day) by the end of the round . Most people probably won’t get stuck behind a group that ignores all etiquette on the course in terms of pace (honestly, some of the worst I’ve seen), but the course could really benefit from a ranger.
Overall, we had a great time and can’t wait to go back.

I played this course back in July and loved it. It had only been open a few weeks when I played, so everything was in good condition then. It was cart path only so most walked. You’re allowed 3 drinks on the course and 3 inside. The beer available on the course were lower abvs (pils/lager ect) or you had the canned cocktails to pick from. Yes, they pour a can into another can that is because the town of Tewksbury mandated they do that. Tee times are limited to weekdays only right now because they’re too busy on the weekends and don’t have the parking space to accommodate both the beer crowd and golfers. Also, limited tee times are probably because it’s new, everyone is excited to play there, the course is small and they don’t want to get a huge backup. The beer is great & the facility is gorgeous. If you’re a true TH fan you’ll love the vibe here! 🍻
