Solid course for around Boston

I’m not going to act like this is a high-quality course, but it’s not bad considering the lack of courses around Boston. It’s a tricky and fun course to play, though the greens and overall conditions on some holes aren’t in the best shape. I was able to finish this round in about 4 hours. A previous time it took me closer to 6 hours.

Great lay out. Love the elevation changes. Service is great and staff is friendly. I played alone and met some great guys. Very scenic and you have to respect the shots required here. Not long, but challenging and fun. The design made the most out of the land here. I love it.

Great Value, Greens Looking Good

Really good public course in Boston. If you go out in morning, you don’t wait. Classic Donald Ross layout using the hills especially on the greens. For the value, it’s a great spot.

Nice time, conditions but overpriced

The rain has helped - greens and fairways as good as I’ve seen there. Tee boxes just ok. The negative is the pricing - used to pay $30 for a hot deal that included a cart - now the only hot deal is 7am and it’d be $67 on a Friday if you needed a cart. Its a fun historic layout but at least $20 overpriced
