Very Pretty & Great Design But VERY SLOW WEEKEND SITUATION

You'll love the golf course, design and condition of greens. The difficulty is not the length but the excellent design that gives you plenty of room to hit your ball but be wary of where NOT to hit it. About half of the greens have some contour, slope and ridges that make you really pay attention. Played here once before during the week and was practically empty so no slow play. But played on a Sunday mid day and was VERY SLOW with NO ONE on the course to get people moving. Also first tee was a mystery since the starter gave us a 20 minute delay information upon arrival at the tee and then disappeared ..... was gone for quite a while while people continued to come to the first tee, gather and wonder what we were supposed to do. So we figured it out among ourselves and just started teeing off. Very typical of other public courses I've been to where the first tee is just not managed properly .... especially for a weekend. Don't come here on the weekend ... this approached a 5 and half hour round.

Response from on 10/25/2017:
Hi, thank you for taking the time to review our course and for the 3-stars. We are sorry to hear that the pace of play was not up to its normal standard that day, however we do hope that the course layout and sloping greens were able to make your round more enjoyable. Thank you for recommending our course and we hope to see you again soon!

Worth it

This is nice track and well maintained. The layout is fun and a good mix of links style and tree lined holes. Lots of birdies can be made and bogeys. The par 5's are reachable with two good shots. A good value for the beginner or intermediate player.

Still Great!

Made the annual trek out to ARV and it was nice to see the course is still in mint condition. Other than way too many ball marks, which is not the course’s fault, it was an A+ playing condition on a non-crowded, sunny November day. Well done ARV, keep up the tremendous work!

November golf

I play Acushnet 3-4 times a year. Played on a cold day in November but the course was still in excellent shape. Greens rolled as good as ever. And the hot dogs were great at the turn!

GOLF NOW EMBARRASSMENT!

Booked a hot deal 5 days before my round, only to find out golf now head double booked the hot deal. Was force to pay full amount and golf now did nothing to accommodate, or even credit my account for their mistake. Called 3 times, and each time was more embarrassing, then call before.
The people in customer service there suck beyond words!

First Time Playing

Worth one hour delay

Frost delay put off tee time for one hour.

Our group waited and we were rewarded to a very enjoyable round. Course in wonderful shape.
Fair and challenging track. Incredible course built in 1910.

Always a good time!!

I've played Acushnet on several occasions and every 1 has been enjoyable except one. I love the 2 different layouts and you in for a surprise when the course changes. The bad experience was playing in a tournament that was in the middle of a drought season where the ground was so cracked and dry it was cart path only.

Way to slow

Close to 5 hrs. On a weekday is ridiculous. Slowest course around. They have been overbooking tee times for years now. They just can’t figure it out. Time for new management!

Only played this course once this year because
They constantly over book tee times. While the course is nice, it is not run well. Pace of play is terrible. Not run as well as other courses. Poor management.
