Good pace of play and conditions.

Overall the course was in good shape although a couple of tee boxes and greens needed some TKC. I was happy with the pace of play and would recommend the course to a friend.

Scheduling sucks

Had a 12:50pm hotdeal, played the first 9 in 2 hours, at the turn we were told by the starter that we were 7th inline.

The course booked a league that starts at 230pm. Not going to wait over a hour to continue. Man at the desk said "oh well". Called Golf Now when I got home, they called the course to confirm my story and issued a credit for a 9 hole rate. Many THANKS Golf now for your help.

Merrimack on a sunday Afternoon

Course in great shape. New work on tee boxes will finally solve a water issue in the spring and they are starting to look great. Slow play today, is is Sunday afternoon. I do wish new players wouldnt try and play from the tips. Only complaint was beverage cart, the shift ended to early, never saw again after 4th hole, service was great.

Liked the course.

Nice course. Open, wide fairways. Course in good condition, with the exception of some of the greens. Big yardage differences between blue and whites - felt sometimes like the whites were too short, the blues a little long for me. Somewhat challenging walk, because of hills, but definitely doable.

Nice track, would not walk this one.

The only other thing I would say is that they need some signage to let you know which hole direction is and maybe some bells or lights to know if it's okay to hit on blind shots. Greens were just punched so they weren't in the best shape. Overall, I would recommend.

Greens had issues

Course layout was fantastic, greens had a disease which made them appear dead in spots

I would not play course until they resolved green issues

Bad winter

It seems as thought the course had a tough winter. Many of the greens have spots that are almost down to dirt and areas on the collars that were repaired and did not take. Besides that about 1/3 of the greens had debri from trees all

Over them. They were never blown off. We played at 7:30 am. Only saw 2 grounds workers and they were planting flowers by the 9th tee box. I love this course, but it was the worst I have seen it in 5 years.
