MetroWest Golf Club

About
This Robert Trent Jones Sr. design is one of the area’s most venerable venues. The fluid beauty of MetroWest provides for a challenging but playable experience. Wide rolling fairways give all levels of players the opportunity to find the short grass, and the four sets of tees working from 7,051 yards down to the 5,325-yard forward tees make hitting greens in regulation a reasonable endeavor. No push over, though, bunkers seem to anchor every corner on every dogleg and elevation changes of up to 100 feet in some circumstances tug back in the course’s favor.

Greens are quick and are overall quite good
Course is dry and could use some rain and work on the fair wYs
MetroWest - a fair challenge for all player
First time I played this course. Found it to be a very excellent challenge. The holes are uniquely designed with some areas that require local knowledge to know the direction to play. Might be the longest set of par fives I've ever encountered on a golf course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. While the course needs a little bit of additional maintenance it certainly is a hidden gem and provided a significan enough challenge for players of all levels. It was fair throughout but required some distinct shot making. Next time I'm in town I plan on going back
Course on the backslide
I've played this course for years... A couple of years ago they made an effort to bring back the course from goat ranch status. They improved the greens and it looks like they were on. the right track to make the course what it used to be... Unfortunately it appears they have decided dirt tee boxes are good enough...fro what the are now charging I believe it is NOT a good value.
COURSE HAS IMPROVED
This was my second time playing this course. I noticed significant improvements on the greens and the sand traps. Main area to still improve are the tee boxes which in many cases are bare. Layout is very nice with quite a few elevation changes.
Metro west
Tee boxes and fairways need help but the greens were perfect
Likes and Dislikes
If you don’t pay a ton of money for this course then you won’t be disappointed. Metrowest is playable most of the greens are great. There are a few with patches and zoysia weeds in them.
Some tee boxes are good and some you struggle to find good footing. The rough is rough. The courses isn’t “bad” per se, just not crisp and sharp.
And lastly, we saw a lot of water being wasted on the street and water the bunkers which look to all have new sand in them. For a course trying to make its way back, spending money to ruin the new bunkers you just paid for or to run water into a storm drain doesn’t make sense.
I gave it a 4 star because it’s not as trashy as the 3-stars on this site and if they keep investing then it’ll get ready.
Great layout, great pace, but WAY overpriced
Tee boxes were horrible. Fairways below average. Nice greens. $65 with cart is too high which is most likely why the pace was great. Played with 3 adults & a 10 year old and only had one two some who we let play through.
Great layout but…..
The course conditions are just not good. Not much grass on the tee boxes or fairways. Nice layout but for the cost not worth it to me
Weedy, Otherwise Fine
The course is clearly beyond its best days, but it's a good day for the price. Weeds on the tee boxes and fairways were disappointing but didn't affect play too much. Greens had just been sanded so putting was a challenge. I did feel like I needed to rake the green after holing out. Staff was terrific; all in all a great day.
The course was terrible for the price
First the lady was extremely rude in the front, had a terrible attitude so terrible service, then the course was in bad conditions. Cant tell the difference in fairways and rough, greens were very patchy, and the tee boxes were just dirt with occasional grass spots. Wouldn't recommend paying 50-90 dollars per person here.
