My Wife and I play in a Florida country club all winter and come home to New England in the summer and play off GolfNow throughout the summer. We found a Deal of the day and played Loudon for the first time. We received a great $39.99 rate for 18 holes including a cart on a Sunday on 4th of July weekend. Wow. What a deal. The course is beautiful. You could tell it was a holiday weekend because the course rough was long and sometimes made it hard to locate your ball. The course is Not overly long which was perfect. The greens were really nice and ran excellent making putting perfect. The guy in the pro shop was very nice and helpful giving his local knowledge on the course which was really helpful. All in all a terrific day of golf on a sunny day and we will definitely return to this course. Looking forward to playing a day at Loudon after the course is cut by the grounds crew

My Wife and I play Sandwich Hollows a few times a year. We will get a great deal of the day and make the trip down from the North Shore Knowing it is still May, as we are willing to overlook the recently arrated greens. Very bumpy and Still not properly rolled or cut. They always do a good job here and it will be better as the summer rolls on.
The problem with this round was that upon the turn, we came up on a group of 6 teenagers playing together as a group of 6. No ranger. Figured they would wave us through but oh no. Not today. Hoping they get a ranger out here sometime over the summer. We do love the course but it needs a ranger

We got a nice rate thru GolfNow for a round of golf at The National at Ava Maria. Having played it once before, and having a great experience the first time, I was excited to return with my Wife and another couple/ friends of ours. We went to the driving range and were quickly confronted by the starter. He was upset and told us that 3 Members of the Ava Maria University Golf Team were supposed to start their round at 3pm. It was now 336pm, our tee time, however he said he has to let them go out in front of us.. They were in their Golf Team Uniforms making them easy to identify. They were terribly slow , standing in the fairway with nobody in front of them and joking and having a good old time at our time and expense. The best is when their cart died in the middle of the course and they simply sat in it laughing and waiting for the course to bring them another cart. They could have simply pushed it aside and then called the clubhouse but no. Now 40 minutes behind from their slow, play, we hustled to try to finish our round. I went into the trailer after 9 to inform the guy at the desk about our experience that was caused by them by allowing them out 36 minutes late in the first place. The guy said that we have a tee time from GolfNow so “your on your own”. No “Im sorry. “What can we do to make it right”. Really didn’t care at all. The course is great. The bag guys fantastic. Even the starter was nice but his hands were tied and he clearly felt that he best put those guys out late in front of us. Great course. Terrible management. We would have easily finished the round but couldn’t and it was clearly caused by their management.

Came to this course expecting a cow pasture in the country We found a challenging golf course with greens that are in fantastic condition. Many holes are blind shots off the tee box so you will need to play this course a few times before actually scoring well. Fairways roll left and right and I actually couldn’t find a ball that I know I hit to the middle of the fairway. Someone will enjoy a Titleist Pro V1 when they find it in the fairway side rough. The trip in from Peabody Ma was long for a round of golf. GPS took us over a dirt road coming in but again the ride and fantastic Deal of the Day on Golf Now was well worth the trip. Great day and the young girl working inside was very nice.

Some greens rolled nice. Others had some damage with dry spots on them. The tee boxes had little grass to put your tee into. It’s a better than average muni course. Get a deal on GolfNow if you plan on playing at this course.

The course is in great condition. The employees were very nice. A tournament had just finished up and there was a back up to start on the first tee. We were then sent off the back and played our round without a hitch. The greens are fast and in immaculate condition. Unlike many public courses in New England there is grass on the tee boxes. The only reason I gave a 1 star to off course amenities was because the restaurant was closed but the weather was perfect and our day was great. Will be back.

Loved the course. Loved the value. The attendant at the pay window was very nice. Only had one problem. I believe I was on the 5th tee box and there is a small pond on your right should you fade right. If it’s your first round on this course then you can not see this pond from the tee box. This pond had no stakes red or yellow to let you know this pond is there. Again, I now know for future play because I hit a decent drive and found the middle of the pond. Had there been stakes there I may have stayed left. The course is excellent and very challenging. I will be back.

First time playing this course. Well manicured. I like to hit to the 150 off the tee and from the Black tee I found it plays just a tad long for me making it a long second shot to the green. We The fairways are nice and the greens are fast. One of the nicest courses I played this season. I can’t wait to play it again.

Overall our day was nice. We would have liked to know that the greens were punched as putting was not enjoyable. The rough is just that, rough. If you roll into it, good luck finding it. Starter “Bob” was excellent and extremely helpful. We will go back later in the summer when the greens are better as it was only May and early in season .
