Course no longer exists
Developer bought the land and building houses. Golf course no longer exists
Great course gone to the dogs
Since this local favorite course is closing soon, course maintenance is very poor at best. The greens are hard as concrete. No way to hold approach shots. Stupid. Locals said greens have not been watered in over a week.
Must have been a great course in the past. No longer…….
Course closing - what a shame
Great course to be gone. At. Least I can say I played it!
Sorry this course is closing
Best course conditions I have played in months. Wish this course was not closing. Great layout and best putting greens.
TOO BAD THE COURSE IS CLOSING
all was good. good luck with building all the new houses when the course closes!
Golf at the beach
The course from tee to green is in great shape.Having said that I have heard they are closing the course In November . The greens were the best I played this week after playing five rounds. They roll true and run around a 10. The 18th is unique as it is a par 6. If you get the chance play this course before it closes for good.
Worst pace of play EVER
Sad a place this nice with no clue how to run a golf course. I’m waiting to tee off and there are 3 groups with a 9:30 tee time !! Waited ten minutes to hit every shot on front back waited 5.
There good at being nice and taking your money.
The course is good but when your playing a 5 hour round, really hard to have a good experience!
This was my worst experience in 2021 and I play alot
Top notch staff
Nope that's how you treat golfers. Complimentary range balls, no extra Rider fees, attendants taking your clubs to the golf cart, and cold water coming around every 3 to 4 holes.
And to top it off a par 6 767 yd final hole to close the round. I absolutely would play here again.
Nice course
Don't like these courses that when you come around at the turn you hit a big group and have to wait.
Very good course sad that it is closing in October for good
Fairways and greens were in excellent shape pace of play was good..shot very well
Great course.
Good shape. Forgiving and challenging at the same time. Greens rolled true and were in good shape. Wish it wasn’t closing down.
Great course
Awesome course for the hot deal of $60. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Greens were a bit sandy but very fast. Overall a great course in the NMB area. Can’t miss. Nicest course around.
Greens and fairways are in outstanding shape
Enjoyable from your corresponding tee plays slightly longer than the total distance lots of rain in previous days may account for the playing longer than distance experience
Ample fairways overall a very good experience
Very nice course
I really wanted to give this course 5 stars because there are so many nice things about this course. However, the starter was difficult.
I arrived an hour early to go to the range and putting green. The starter wanted me to tee off over half an hour before my tee time. I told him I arrived early because I wanted to practice. He then became pushy about it, he was impolite and he never even offered a reason why I should tee of over half an hour early. Eventually I told him I would not tee off that early and he said he'd try to fit me in near my reserved tee time. That was a sour start to my experience. The rest of the day was great though.

Farmstead Golf Links was an exceptional course, always in top condition with challenging yet enjoyable play. Head pro Adam Oliva was outstanding, offering expert guidance that greatly improved my game. His friendly and professional approach made every visit special. It’s with deep sadness that I learned of the club's closure and his departure from the area. This place was more than a golf course; it was a community where friendships thrived and the love of golf flourished. Adam's dedication and passion will be greatly missed.
