Interesting course in good shape

I’ve played Unicorn several times this summer and it remains in good shape. The layout is a bit cramped, resulting in freedom to hit balls wide of the fairway, but resulting in delays as others come on to your fairway to play their ball the other direction. It’s a fair compromise.

There’s a good mix of lengths, so even if you’re a high handicap, If you keep it in your fairway you can end up with a decent number of par puts.

It’s inexpensive, so overall a very good value.

Good for a quick nine but…

Be prepared for lots of hard pan shots due to the drought. The greens were in pretty good shape as were most of the fareways. Any of your shots off the fareway are likely to be on burned out and very hard surface. Not sure what they can do as the drought has really wreaked havoc on courses like this.

No problem with price. Or service. Their practice green s are good but no driving range.

Hard to rate in the drought!

Staff was great. Quick getting off and seems like a good track. Problem is that so much of the course is burned out by the lack of rain and intense heat we have. I would gladly play here again though ideally when it is in better condition. Despite this, the greens were in pretty good shape overall. I suspect there are many courses in New England suffering from the same thing. De

OK course, managed terribly

Always stacked up, moves terribly slow, no staff around to keep people moving. Takes minimum 2+ - 3 hours to play 9.

Super quick and easy nine

This is a nice little nine hole course for golfers like me in a 17-22 handicap range. It’s wide open, some long holes, but still easy to manage even if you hit right. Course is well maintained, despite the hot weather and dry conditions. Staff is super friendly and the course attracts casual golfers mostly. It’s in my rotation when I want to get in a quick round. I gave it four stars because I wish it was an 18 hole course.

Never have the greens been this bad

I've been playing unicorn for 20yrs and I've never seen the greens look so bad. I know we haven't had much rain but that's no excuse for the way the looked...its like they gave up on them. Will not be going back any time soon.

Unicorn so/so

Unfortunately Unicorn is the most local convenient golf course near me, greens aren’t all that well kept, staff sucks, hole 6 is almost always a muddy swap of a nightmare, on 6 you’re better off missing the fairway, a good shot lands you in mud even on nicer days.

Pace of play is typically awful, staff does nothing to help pace along
