Warminster's Five Ponds Golf Club, true to its name, weaves through a series of five ponds that are deftly incorporated into the design. Naturally, water is a prominent feature on the course but there is also a rolling topography that provides interesting elevation changes. The layout starts with a more open front nine and becomes tighter and more wooded on the back nine. Many of the holes have elevated tees that offer scenic views of the surrounding countryside. It provides a challenging but fair round that features wide fairways and large, receptive greens that make it approachable for beginners. In addition to the golf course, Five Ponds boasts an all grass driving range and a 7,000 square foot putting green. Its condition, amenities, and of course the scenic layout have made the club one of the most popular public courses in the area.

Greens are in terrible shape.

Nice layout for the course and challenging.

The distances makers are way off and deceiving. Greens are in terrible condition when I played.

Recovering from a harsh winter

Course is a nice track although there are holes that go back and forth that make it a bit of a shooting gallery Overall conditions were mediocre as the course is recovering from a harsh winter with a lot of winter kill on fairways and greens. This is more a cosmetic than playability issue. The greens look horrible but they putt ok. Some of the greens were a little bumpy. One of the best fetaures of this course is the greens so hopefully they will come around. The eighth green was in very good shape and is indicatve of what the course is usually like. Pace of play on a Tuesday afternoon was 4 1/2 which was a bit slow for our group of accomplished golfers who play fast. We waited on every shot and never saw a ranger. Course has a good range and practice facility. One of the better practice putting greens around.

This course is the best public course I have ever played.

I have played 5 ponds many times.
I had a steady tee time there for years.

It is a great course !

Play there and you will agree.

Good conditions especially for winter golf

Sure Winter was still a few days away but you wouldn't know it judging from the course conditions at five ponds. Pretty much all of the tee boxes were moved forward so play was a little more forgiving but the fairways were well manicured and the greens were soft and predictable. Overall a great day of golf when you wouldn't really expect it.

Large greens

The greens were a very large target but elevation changes made club selection important to position yourself for easier putting.
Tree lined fairways could punish you.
Quite an enjoyable round on a well maintained course.

Slow as Usual

Five Ponds is a nice track with a good setup and challenging holes. But the pace has always been a problem. I haven't been back for years as a result. But I was playing with some friends that were new to the area, so I thought a mid-day time might be better. Nope.

There are a few bottlenecks (3-4, 12, 17) that really keep pace down. There was a ranger but seemed to do little to keep play moving. I actually saw a group using a tape measure to get the putt distance.

I had to skip 17 & 18 to get to a prior engagement but the round took my playing partners nearly five hours. For the relatively high price, and time value cost, I won't be back for a while. If you like waiting at every hole and playing a round in 5 hours, then this is the course for you.

Old favorite

I learned how to play golf on this course. If you are a first time player the layout will give you a challenge with blind tee shots and elevated tee shots. Once you get a feel for it, grip it and rip it! The course is in great condition for a public and well used course. 15 and 16 are two of the hardest but also my favorite

Great Course if you want to wait alot.

The course is challenging and is always in great condition. However every time I played here was plagued with waiting. The course does not manage its tee times well, and anyone I have ever taken here or recommended to go in the past has had the same issue. This probably will not get better since the course has been selling groupons by the 1,000 with expirations in the near future. I understand courses are hurting, but this course does not balance tee times well, and likely wont any time soon with the offers it has sold.

Good value at that time of day

This is a $65 course in my opinion. Tough layout. The place was super crowded and slow. There was no ranger out there to keep things in line. One par 3 had 3 groups waiting to play. It was a good deal at $45 but the staff neesd to up their game to meet course's level. Played the afternoon on a Sunday and the snack bar was closed?

Love this course

All aspects of this course (fairways, rough and greens) were in great shape. Pace of play was perfect, only had to wait on 2 holes and no longer than a couple minutes. Highly recommend this course.
