Pace of play

I don’t know what it is this year but for some reason this is the second course in the last few weeks that have been letting people out on the 10th hole. Maybe I’m old-school, but this shouldn’t be happening because it really bags up the backside with so many players.

Unfortunately for me and the rest of my group we quit after the 13th hole because we just couldn’t take it any longer.

The views were exceptional as always, and I can see that they have made improvements to the course by cutting down some trees along the rough in opening up a little bit. The greens are still coming back from being aerated, so they were quite bumpy, but I can see that knowing this course it will improve as usual

Great day on the course!

Challenging Donald Ross course. Greens are exceptionally challenging and are coming around from recent aeration. Fairway conditions were good for the season, looking forward to conditions after grass is really growing!

Hot deal makes an exceptionally good value.

Needs a lot of work

The course was a great value, but they seem to be running behind on conditions. Greens must have been recently plugged as there was a lot of sand and if a putt went in, it was pure luck. Using range mats for 2 par 3 tees. Bunkers were the best part of conditioning.

This is a beautifully maintained track with a fun layout and a good variety of holes.
The real gem of this place is the staff! Everyone is so helpful, polite, and friendly. Makes for a great experience every time, and is why I will continue to come back to play!

Good day of winter golf

For it being winter golf - I got what I paid for. Fairways were ok. Greens were good. Had to hit off mats on par 3. Pace of play was absolutely terrible but this is what happens on a beautiful winter day in New England; lots of golfers and minimal daylight hours. Staff could always be a tad bit more friendly towards GolfNow golfers. They made sure to tell me the course received nothing from GolfNow. All in all, I’m happy I went there to play and will definitely come back again

Great off season value

This was my first time playing Winnapaug. For early December, the course was a joy to play. The layout is very interesting with an old course feel. You have holes going uphill, downhill, side hill with blind shots to a couple greens. The course was in very good shape from tee to green. In addition to a good course, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend you try Winnapaug to experience a real Donald Ross New England course.
