First time scheduling through Golf Now and worked out fantastically. The course had everything noted when we arrived and had no difficulty at all.

Pretty good

Staff was excellent. Lots of long grass to lose golfballs in. Thought a lot of that could be cut. Would make it much faster to play and more fun.

Would Not Play Again

Course was in terrible shape, grass not cut, greens no groomed. Dirt piles everywhere on greens. Some holes were closed. Terrible layout for a course, a very bad bad experience.

Decent value

Decent value for money. Got through first 6 holes in 1.5 hrs than a 40 min wait for the turn and 20 min wait between holes. We ended up leaving as rate of play was pretty much nonexistent and for no apparent reason. A little overbooked or tee times booked too close together perhaps.

Still a decent experience. Just maybe not the greatest on busy days.

There’s two golf courses in Dorchester?

Course was in ok shape other than geese droppings everywhere. I’ve never been here before and confused my booking with the other golf course located in Dorchester. I was disappointed it was only 12 holes and the holes were too close to one another. I was also disappointed I couldn’t purchase a golf glove.

Beautiful layout, however the course maintenance was not good at all.

Tee boxes were like shooting off cart paths and the greens were very rough and bumpy no chance for even a straight put.

Unfortunate as I would golf there again.

Over 4 hours for 12 holes with a cart

You can book a tee time but it doesn't matter the pro shop just sends everyone out of the course.

There are a lot of beginners and slow players on the course which is fine. But there is no course marshal or anyone checking to make sure the groups are maintain a reasonable pace of play.

Pro shop does not care and is rude. There are other similar 12 hole courses in the area that are more organized.

Besides the terrible pace of play the course was well laid out and in good shape but 12 holes in 4 hours - I wont be back

Excellent place

Wonderful course, I have played here a few time and it keeps improving every time I come out, great little track they have. The greens have improved tremendously and the overall lay out is very nice.

I stopped by the patio last summer and I was very impressed by the food, great food and great value. Everyone was very friendly, I highly recommend this course especially if you like the 12 holes idea

Has potential

Nice area with potential but it needs works. Very tiny greens were in terrible shape and the course just opened this week. Some fairways are barely 20 yards wide. Won't play again

Confusion Abounds on this country course

This course at some point decided to eliminate 6 holes and today had one par 3 under repair some played 11. The signage from hole to hole is good,but GPS won't work for yardages as the holes have been rearranged. There are no yardage markers on the fairways so distances become a guessing game. Fairways were in OK shape and greens were pock marked and in need of repair. Club House looked nice and pro shop staff friendly. Carts were serviced,sanitized and in good shape. My wife and I played today because the price was right....probably wait until some TLC applied before we come back.

Beautiful day

The course has been changed to a 12 hole course from 18. There are still lots of challenges and some long holes. They have done a great job with all the added amenities but they have not maintained their greens at all. The fairways are decent but some of the greens were completely unplayable. There were huge sections of just dirt with no green at all. The food and the staff at the restaurant were excellent. I would come back for the food for sure. The golf was expensive considering the condition of the greens

Once was too many times

They put 14 people ahead of our tee time. Told we had to wait for a cart. ! hour for 3 holes. 4 groups on 2nd hole. Group ahead called pro shop on 3rd hole to complain. Greens were pasture - like. Complained on 5 th hole after 2 hours as a twosome went ahead of us while we used the washrooms. Staff just looked at me. Told him you might want to ask them why they did that? Total waste of time.
