Poquoy Brook Golf Course

Recently played this week. The course is night and day better than last year.A year ago the greens had bare areas all over. All the greens, even practice green.This year all the greens had grass. Major improvement. Only issues I seen was greens are way too slow. They need to be rolled so that putts will speed up. Also lower rough length. So much time was spent looking for balls. Both of the mentioned issues are easily done. The course is going in the right direction again. Kudo's to the staff..

As a new member of PB, I am deeply disappointed in the course conditions. From tee to green, the course is horrible. The new owner apparently bought this place because of the bar / restaurant, which is adequate at best. The staff is awesome and great at their job. The owner refuses to hire a person / company to maintain / improve the conditions cause he is cheap and doesn't know the first thing about running a golf course... The only conversations I hear are the other members explaining how crappy the course has become, and what it was like when the previous owner cared and took care of the course, and how great it was. This owner needs to sell this place and go back laying carpet.

I am really disappointed with this course that USED TO BE one of our favorite to play. We would make a special trip to Poquoy at least twice a year to play. The course was laid out well and was always in top condition. Not so any more… Grass is overgrown with predominately crab grass. Tees are shaggy and bare in many spots. Much of the golf course has bare spots. Quite a bit of the course is soggy, even though rainfall totals recently have been under normal rates. The greens, although in good condition, were THE slowest greens I’ve played on in the past ten years. Sorry to write such a negative review; as I said, it used to be one of our favorites. Hopefully something can be done to bring the course back to its former condition.

We are done with this course. Another 5 hour round. They don’t even bother to to try to coordinate play. No ranger to be seen. Only in fair shape. Not worth the aggravation.

It cost $40 to play aerated greens and the front nine TWICE on Nov. 10! The back nine was closed. Pace of play was horrendous -- 2 hours, 40 minutes for nine holes. Players should expect to lose balls in plain sight during fall golf in New England but searching 10-15 minutes for lost balls in unacceptable. Even in a pandemic.

Poquoy couldn't help the customer by giving a little break on the price, given the quality of the greens and one nine closed? Disgraceful. Won't go back again and would not recommend it to anyone.

It's been 20 years since I played here. A very nice layout and a lot of fun to play. Good job by maintenance during a drought. And the food was very good.

I have played this course for over twenty years. A few years ago the conditions were not good with the new ownership. Well the new owners have listened and the course is back to fantastic shape. Tee boxes and fairways very good and greens excellent condition. I played early morning and there were many, many grounds crews working all areas of the course. This is one of the best public golf courses in New England when the course is taken care of and now it is. Thank You!

Sadly, during this Coronavirus situation, courses are just beginning to recover some flow of revenue. I am thankful for the ability to play anywhere, given out governors approach to business. However, I was disappointed with Poquoy, always a favorite of mine, locally.

I had played at this course numerous times in the 2000s and always enjoyed the conditions. Yesterday was not the same.

The layout is interesting and a challenge, as the fairways are largely narrow. The staff are very nice. The governor had just approved range use and carts the previous evening, however, only the carts were available at mid morning - the range was still being prepared., which, I guess, is reasonable. The clubhouse was still closed by edict.

On to why this review is negative. For a $55 fee, walking, I expect the course to be in prime shape. It was fairly good but the greens were like putting on a shag carpet. That is what I expect at a crap course, not Poquoy and not at that price. It’s just that simple.

My three partners and I played our long-awaited annual summer match and had a wonderful day - the course was in superb shape and Nora, in the club house, made us feel so welcome. I have played on this course for 40 years - so many great memories - and today’s experience just served to reinforce how special a place it is...just a great golfing experience!!!

Management has hired a new grounds keeper and results are positive. When I played here last year the course was a mess and most of the greens were gone. When I played this week, the greens were in good shape and overall conditions MUCH improved. I have played Poquoy for over 30 years and I am happy to see Mgmt bringing this great course back to life

I have been coming to PB for 30 years. The course conditions on 8/19/18 were terrible. Most got the greens were gone as it apprears no water and no maintenance is taking place with the new ownership. Most of the fairways were in bad condition as well. Me and my friends will not be coming back until the new owners start taking care of the course.

I love this course. I love the layout and the challenge. There are four Par 5's but only 1 of them is easy to reach. The rest are long with risk/reward decisions.

The course is in great condition and the greens are challenging.

Staff is friendly but it sure does pile up on the weekends. 4.5 to 5 hours easy.

Overall good course layout and challenging too. Course is in pretty nice condition this year with all the rain we've had so the fairways and greens are very nice and the rough is thick and hazardous. Course was bought by another group over the past year and they've renovated the clubhouse and moved the pro shop closer to the 1st tee. The new bar and restaurant aren't as good as the previous version and you can't get food very quickly either. I guess they want more people hanging out at the bar rather than sitting down for food. Overall it's a nice track and worth the time to play.

great layout, not the course i remember. Played here numerous times last year and just not in good shape, rough was like the US open, not short enough for the average golfer. Carts are ridiculous, stop in the middle of a fairway and have to back out, this is when you are allowed to be there. They use to have a great kitchen that had pizza and other pub food but now changed to a restaurant. Not quick at the turn and needs to have breakfast sandwiches....too many other options out there to choose from.

A friend had recommended this course several times. I finally went. I'm regretting having waited so long. Fun layout. Greens had been aerated but in April that is to be expected. I will be back here soon.

i would go back,great layout,fasrgreens

My only complaint is that the front nine was closed. I would have booked a tee time closer to where I'm staying if I knew that before I got there.

Greens still in great shape,no bugs,,no leaves in fairway, What else could I say!

My first time playing here was a good round. Staff members were good did their job. Only had time to use practice putting green but saw a nice area to warm up. Overall course was in good shape, greens were especially good. Fairways were nice and green despite our drought summer. Had a really good day and will definitely return and recommend!!

I was a single and got paired up some big hitting 30 something kids. I'm a 13 index and they wanted to play the tips at 6900 yards. The course played every bit of the yardage with the tee markers as far back as possible coupled with a steady breeze. Golf Now provided a cart but it was a beautiful day to go for a stroll so I did. It's a good looking course with some elevation from the tee boxes. The greens were slicks and the fairways were nice and green and provided a bit of a roll even though we are in the middle of a drought. Past the rough on each side it was burnt from all the heat and lack of rain. Nothing the course can do about that.

This course you pay a premium for straight tee balls since trees come into play a lot. The second hole is a good example. It's 420 yards and it is a shoot you hit out of for a good 200 yards till it opens up. Go left and your in the trees and OB and right you are in the trees just chipping back into the fairway but blocked from going for the green.. Your second shot with a good tee ball of 220 is a solid 200 to s sloping green.with plenty of speed. This course has multiple dog legs and bends and having played it many times it helps to have a good amount of course knowledge. Water comes into play on many holes and you have to be aware of streams running across the fairways. They are strategically placed. I would not call it target golf but you need to be aware of them on extremely long drives as well as layups. The par 3's are very long and well bunkered. I think one was playing 220 into the wind. That is driver for me.

Overall it was a beautiful day and in the end I shot 83.... That was acstrong day for me since I had a 92 three days before. It was a great value and you will probably enjoy the course a lot.
