Going down hill

The condition of the course seems to have gone down hill. Played this course many times, but this is the worst I've ever seen it. Would I play the course again? Yes, but needs to be a very good price. Would I recommend the course? probably, but I would be clear about what they're getting themselves into.

Concrete fairways

The last time I played this course (1988), I recall it being in good shape with green fairways, etc. However, the fairways were as hard as the roads I drove on to get to the course! Ironically enough, the greens were in very nice shape. Both my friend and I decided to have some fun with the conditions; we hit some drives that were well over 300 yards and actually putted from 100 yards out that made the greens!!! It was fun but I won't go back anytime soon. If they put some money into the fairways, it is a very nice golf course. Too bad...

Wasted Potential

A nice New England layout, plenty of elevation changes and interesting shots, especially off the tees.

The course Maintainance was very poor...greens were slow and bumpy, tees were placed in areas of the boxes that had been destroyed by heavy play, lots of small rocks on greens and quarter sized rocks in bunkers.

If a little work is put in, this can be a good layout, but I won't be back. Very disappointing.

Great layout

Nice to get started on time, no waiting.The course needs some TLC but I love this course. Tee boxes were good. The fairways were O.K. but need more water. Stay on the fairway, the side rough off the fairway, 50% was dry, hard, bare spots, just starting to burnout. Greens were in good shape but a little slow. Bunkers were terrible, lots of stones and minimal sand. Cart paths need work. Carts were nice and brand new. Overall, played at my pace, no obstructions.

Potential for Improvement

I found a decent deal on golfnow and looked forward to trying out a new course. Upon my arrival the starter was very friendly and had me off right away. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. The rough wasn't in great shape and the cart paths were a mess but I could handle that. People were shouting all over the front nine and I believe someone on the course even had an air horn at one point. Numerous holes we were dodging sprinklers and two greens we had to pick up because they were very soggy as three different sprinklers continued to drench them. Also, players couldn't even be bothered to throw away water cups around coolers as they littered several tee boxes. I will not be playing here anytime soon.

The course was in good shape. The greens were true and fast. The bunkers could use some attention. It is like chipping off of dirt if you end up in a bunker.

Great bang for your buck especially through golf now. Have played 18 a few times in the past couple weeks, no complaints other than the greens being a bit slow and the fact that the traps will literally ruin your club due to the excessive amount of rocks in them.

not women friendly

Wonderful course .Always liked playing there except for maintanance akways ongoing during women play times and when women are on a hole. Lawn mowing never halted while approaching greens or putting. Mowing continued while teeing off or right behind us on fairway. The cutters pulled up when men were on the holes. Too bad.. Head Pro Edward Grant a great guy. But Matt Manchetti's the real Boss. Too bad. The 2 rds back to back this week only reinforced what I had known for years and why we stopped playing there. Too bad its a gem..

Nice course

This was my first time playing here and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Fairways were nice and challenging and the greens were debrie clean. Only issue was the cart paths were in some disrepair with crumbly asphalt through out the course made for a bumpy ride. I would still definitely recommend this course to others.

Great vaue and a very nice course.

The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating!
For some reason they had no record of my tee time or confirmation for a foursome at 7:24 on Saturday morning.
After I showed them the email that was on my phone, they made some adjustments in the tee sheet to get us out.
We had a short wait and had to play the back 9 first.
Louis and the other staff member were great, and gave us each a small bucket of range balls so we could practice during the short wait before our new tee time.
Not sure where the mix up was - but these guys were very professional and the course was in terrific shape.

Do not waste your money

The course was in very poor run down condition. Greens were ok but everywhere else on the course was almost burned out. Clover everywhere. I even saw some in the fairway. Nothing to eat or drink at the turn and we teed off at noon except in the pro shop which had a few bottles of water for sale. Lack of rakes in the bunkers however you really did not need them since it was like hitting out a rocky cart path. No one in my foursome will be going back. At the end of the round the lounge was open however all they had in there were fans since the air conditioning was not working.

Not a great experience

Walked in with my printout of my partially-prepaid reservation. Handed it to the guy at the counter. He said, "What, no hello or hi or I've got a tee time..." Uh, OK. "Here's my sheet showing my tee time," I said. And "Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations of me." I was a bit aggravated. Perhaps the guy behind the counter should have welcomed me a bit better, don't you think?

But the worst part was waiting literally 25 minutes for a cart. We arrived 20 minutes before our tee time. No carts were available. The starter told me they were supposed to have some repaired before the weekend, but that hadn't happened. So, we started about 30 minutes late.

Greens are nice and most of the course is well kept, except for the traps, which are just awful. Like hitting out of concrete. And full of stones.

It was a deathly slow round. After 4.5 hours we still had three holes left to play. And we were waiting for every shot. We gave up after #15 and went home.

Never again, no matter what the price. I would not recommend this place.

OK I Guess

Overall the course wasin OK shape. The greens appeared to be in good shape but when putting the ball would tend to hop along. The "sand" traps were horrible as they were not sand at all. Mostly clay with a lot of stones.
