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.

Meh

It’s not a good course, but it is fun. Unfortunately, the last two times I’ve played here it has taken nearly 3 hours. The layout is fun and it’s definitely a course that you can score low on, but the greens are in awful shape right now

Excellent beginner course

This course is a blast. Not to be rude but it’s a very short, very straight, very easy course. There are very few hazards and the fairways + rough are enormous. I’d love to see pros play on this course. I think they would shoot in the 50’s with ease. To give you some perspective. I typically shoot in the low 90’s at links style courses throughout Massachusetts. I shot an 81 yesterday

5 hours, but fun

Definitely a difficult course. Far more difficult than other courses in the area. I would have had a terrific time if it weren’t for the pace of play. We had to wait before nearly every shot on every hole on the front nine. Despite this, the ranger sent a group off the back 9 right when I was making the turn. I teed off a little after 11am and finished just before 4pm. Definitely not ideal

Pretty good for price

The greens are excellent, possibly the best in the area. I got this on a hot deal so for $16 this was a fantastic deal. The front 9 is way more enjoyable than the back, however the first 3 holes are straight and boring. I found that all of the fairways on the back 9 were really sloped and just not enjoyable to hit off of. The pace of play was horrendous. I really don’t think this is the staff’s fault though, I just think that the groups in front of me were slow. Lastly, the guy in the club house was a bit rude. Acted as if he had no idea and laughed at me when I asked what their replay rate was

Pretty solid

It was a pretty decent course. Would be very difficult if you wanted to walk the course. Lots of hills and many bridges. All of the par 3’s were really enjoyable, most par 4’s were below 400 yards.

You can’t beat a $10 round of gold

So this isn’t a great golf course by any means. But, it’s a great golf course for beginners and mid-high handicaps. I shoot in the mid 90’s but have averaged 84 the three times I’ve played here. It’s flat, short, and there are very few hazards. Overall this is a very fun course and I would recommend it to anyone trying to get out and play
