Bring your best

I do not recommend this course for beginners. Must be able to keep your ball in play, not much room for bad misses. Distance is not a big concern. This track is all about placement. If you are not playing your best, go elsewhere. Save your visit here for when you feel like your game is really tight.
Great occasional challenge.

A story of what could be

My first time playing this course in 6 years. I have played it 10+ times over the last 30 years. Pretty obvious that the course is in limbo. Let’s see where the new ownership goes with this layout. This course is potentially a 4, or even 4 1/2 star track. Conditions have deteriorated quite a bit, and it is a hard course to justify playing right now. Too many above average conditioned golf courses nearby for Pembroke to compete. Hard to explain why Pembroke never made that leap to true “top shelf public” status, but it has not happened in my years there. The layout is super challenging, and could be one of those places that hard core golfers would want to try to conquer at least once a year. Unfortunately, conditions just do not warrant that presently. I will be keeping my ear to the ground to see what unfolds with this new era beginning soon.

Overall a positive experience.

Played the south course. Course conditions were good. Greens were good, and a little easier due to their slow speed. The course does need to figure out a way to fix the eighth hole. Not being able to access the white and blue tees because of a bridge issue really changes one of the better holes on the course, and now it plays as a 240 yard par four.
The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. I was told that the conditions on the north course were not as good, so I hope that improves for my next visit.
Many courses in our area have been greatly affected by the amount of rain we’ve had this season, so I understand the difficulty of maintaining great conditions. I would recommend playing the South course.

Underrated.

Good challenge. Many difficult approach shots. Good vistas from the tee boxes with many elevation changes.
Worth the trip, and definitely in my rotation.

Solid.

Course was in very good shape. Pace was excellent (less than 4 hours).
Chilly greeting from pro shop employee to all 3 of us. Not a big deal, but if they do not want public play, they should not offer it. Strongly recommend this course for any serious golfer.

Tough Test

Walkable old course with some excellent holes. Difficult greens with speed and contouring. Two putting is a real victory on many holes. Good conditions. Friendly. A lot of clubs need to be good for you to score here. Poor tee shots cost you 2 on many holes. Approach shots are tricky, especially when you know how tough putting can be from certain spots. It beat me up pretty good yesterday, but I will come back and settle my score with Seggy.

Say yes to the Hollows

Relaxed. New Hampshire feel on the Cape. Cool people working here. I would call holes 9 & 17 two of the best par 4's anywhere. Not a pretentious, fancy course. Great deal.

Worth a visit

Unique and older course. Not long, but really difficult approach shots. Drought has had a big impact on fairways, rough and tees. Not an easy walking course. Greens are tough, and 2 putting can be the hardest task in your round. A course, like many others, that will be appreciated more, the more it is played. Play it with someone that knows it really well.

Unique cape course.

Worth going. Some of the best holes anywhere. Holes 9 & 17 are 2 of the best par 4s anywhere. Really cool place that feels like New Hampshire on Cape Cod. Friendly staff, very relaxed feel.

Worthwhile to play. Greens need to continue to improve.

Always a good, stiff challenge. Layout is right there with many of the greats, but greens are still not up to the level they need to be to put Maplegate in the same category as the greats. Many visits to the "gate" over the years, and I would love to see this course taken to the next level.

Awesome. One of my favorites.

I strongly recommend both courses. Great experience. Tough, but fair. Good test of golf. Staff is nice and very accomodating. I will go every time I am in the area. Would love to play both in one day with lunch in between.

Great experience, always worth it.

It is more than a diamond in the rough. It is a classic. Must go, and even better if it is with someone that knows the course well. Fair # of blind shots and "safe" areas to know about. They do a great job with conditions and staff. At least worthy of a once a year visit. The more you play it, the more you will like it.
