Great play for the money, Hidden Gem

short, tight and challenging. The course has slopes that make you thik off the tee.Can't just grab a driver an bomb away.
Facilities are above average, Cart guy is the best!

Melrose

Melrose use to be one of my favorite local courses and now it's not. The greens we're worse then neshaminy and it seems they haven't done any maintenance to get ready for season.

Greens are atrocious

Played this course before and it was mid. Now it is actually terrible. If you hit the green, goodluck, that ball is bouncing 20 feet over like you just hit a cart path. Greens are worst I’ve ever seen, literally like a dead grass laying over a cinder block. Also they charged $62 which is highway robbery. Won’t be coming back until I hear they’ve fixed the greens. Not even fun.

We understand that their water pump is not working. You can already see the effect on the greens. The fairways and rough were will groomed.

Melrose

I would say the tee boxes were in pretty good shape. The fairways were in pretty good shape. but The greens were very hard need a little bit of work. But overall, it is an OK course.

Course conditions

It was only 30$ but the course is in such horrible condition. The greens were maybe the worst I've ever played on. It's a real shame, because the course was amazing back in the day and has just gone down hill so badly. All they have to do is spend some $$ and it could be so easily returned to a beautiful course.

You Get What You Pay For

While the club looks like it has seen better days, it is hard to find a better course in the area for the price. For a golfer in the 90’s-100’s, you will find it approachable and the conditions acceptable. If you hold yourself to a higher standard of golf, Melrose might not be for you.

Bad for Winter Golf

Really affordable and fun track to play deeper into the spring, summer and fall. Course was in brutal condition to start the season in end of March. Awful tee boxes, greens uncured, bumpy and not well taken care of. Very much hoping they’re looking to improve the course conditions and rapidly because currently I would not go back. Would have better luck chipping onto the parking lot than the greens currently.

Could use some help

Melrose doesn’t have the length but the angles off the tee and hills are enough. The greens need some help and the whole course is marked with parches of burnt grass

rathole

The decline of this course is stunning. I understand that there is new ownership , but this is nothing short of a rathole. I wouldn't play this course again if it was free.
