About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 70
Length 5972 yards
Slope 120
Rating 68.4

Located on the west side of Brockton, D.W. Field Golf Course is just 30 minutes south of Boston. The 18-hole course, which dates back to 1927, has a classic design that is player friendly enough for all skill levels, though it's best for beginners. It's even gentle enough for junior players who want to get some practice with a full-length course. The course meanders through the Olmsted-designed D.W. Field Park and offers scenic views throughout. It's a driver-friendly layout with generous landing areas on nearly every hole. Only one fairway bunker comes into play. D.W. Field Golf Course's challenges come from the small greens, many of which are elevated, sloping, or multi-tiered. There are two reachable par 5s as well as a few tough holes, including the uphill 13th hole.

Best Value in Eastern MA

Went on a friend's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. Course was great, staff was welcoming and finished under 4 hours.
Going to make this definitely a regular visit.

Best Muni In Massachusetts

Anyone rating this course and conditions less than4 stars is either out of thier mind or know nothing's. Just completed Brockton City Fourball today. Greens are the best in the state. I'd love to keep it our " little secret" but I think Superinfent Kurt and his staff should get thier due. Well done boys. Appreciate the course getting better year after year.

The worst course of the year to me with the course quality and price

I went to this course today. It it not worth to spend your time. The course condition was not impressed at all: cart paths were not ready, lots of dry fairway, green was so so, ... I vote that this was the worst course of the ones tried this year (around 30 in the area)

Worst Golf Experience I have ever had

We have played as a group of friend at D.W. Fields several times over the years. It is a good course for the money and the convenience. It was 92 degrees the day we played we had an 8am tee time and a 810am. Long story short the ranger was on us all day following us and keeping a real eye on us. When you come off the 7 tee you have to drive by the club house to get to 8. This is the only time you can hit the club house without cutting back through the course. We were yelled at by the ranger for getting water and a hotdog, because we were holding up play. We explained we needed water he said we should have been more prepared and needed to get back out on the course. Worst I have ever been treated in the 15 years I have been golfing. I refuse to go back.

Bad experience

Booked a tee time online, got here and they told us we had a different time, and they wanted no part of seeing the email confirmation. Then we weren't told until we checked in with the starter that there was a frost delay earlier and they were behind by 20 minutes. Not sure how you can't catch up over 6 hours. Once we finally started, all we did was wait. There were three groups waiting on each of the first five tees before it finally opened up a little. After it took 2.5 hours to play 7 holes, we decided to leave, and they reluctantly gave us a rain check. Certainly doesn't seem like the people working here know how to run a golf course.

Pleasantly surprised

Reserved as a hot deal and thought it would be good just to try it out. First time here so didn't know what to expect. Pleasantly surprised. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Friendly staff. Challenging enough but not overly challenging. Would definitely recommend this course to others.

good shape / overpriced

overpriced , but enjoy playing the course from time to time. the owners of the food shop are the best and the prices are very reasonable and they are so friendly. The course has gone thru a lot of changes in the past year and the prices are one of them, although the course is in great shape its a bit over priced , I can play 18 in Lakeville after 12:00 for $50.00 and in Bridgewater after 2:30 for $ 40.00 , the prices are raised a bit too much here that's my voice and a lot of people I have talked to.

Many improvements and new staff - much better

I gave this course a so-so review in the past. They have since made many upgrades to the course and it's condition, and the new staff is excellent. Nice improvements to a local course.

Great course, fun to play

First time playing this course and loved it. Wasn't too bad on the wallet, set up smoothly, minus the odd starting back 9 which is at the 7, or something. Just play 18, and avoid confusion and you're golden. Great course for learning golfers and seasoned ones.

Nice city course

The greens are recently aerated, so the bumpy rolls were tough, but that said this course is good shape and will get better. The new management group are like Bill Parcels, they make clubs better.
This is a great walking course with plenty of challenge with well placed sand, solid rough and some tough greens. Overall it's a big yardage course and I'll play the back tees next time.
The last holes before 18 are short which slows the pace, but overall, I look forward to playing again.

One Complaint

My son took a day off from work to play and the course was in great condition. However we were told and it was confirmed that the majority of the greens were not playable as they were being aerated. That meant that by default, the bunkers were also out of play.
I think that it is incumbent upon either the course or Golf Now to inform would be players of a condition that will undoubtedly compromise the games enjoyment.
I'll go back when they're not working on the course and I'm sure that it will be fine to play a round in.
