Remnants of a gem

Unicorn is not bad for the price, and the greens and surrounding rough are maintained well. Greens ran quicker than most other public tracks I’ve been to in the Boston area. The fairways are also pretty nice for a public track, with some patchy areas and other areas under construction. A few teeboxes were clubbed to death and need to be roped off, tilled, and reseeded. Above all else, this is a good place to learn how to play and reminds me of old style courses I grew up playing

Winter golf, yes please!

Plays better in the dead of winter than many public courses do in the middle of summer. Big thanks to the staff for keeping course playable.

Quick Nine

Course was in good shape. The T-boxes can be tough, but it’s because there have a lot of trees which doesn’t allow for a lot of sunlight. The green were in good shape.
Overall, the place is close by and a fair price to get some good practice.

Terrible overpriced

Came up to Boston for a round with old friends and booked this on golf now. Figured for $50 it should be a decent course. Nope. Terrible conditions. Slow af. No cart girl. 9 holes only.
