Ok for the money

Not bad, but the cart path was horrendous. The bridge going to green is a death trap.

Back and Better than Before

I have played this course for many years. A recent management change has resulted in some very nice improvements. Adjustments have been made to how the greens are maintained and cut. The greens known locally as the slowest around, are rolling out in a manner I have never seen here in 30 years of play.

The fairways and such still show the impact of many years without a manageable irrigations system.

Many of the former employees have been retained. The new management team led by "TJ" are making improvements as they can. Recently rented a bunch of newer carts, several "annoyance and poorly maintained bunkers" are being removed and should improve an already decent pace of play.

The course is what it is - a semi-private/semi-muni community golf course. I recommend it for anyone who just want to play a fun round of golf.

It’s only April!

First round of the year in Massachusetts….visiting family. Course relatively close to them so we booked. Staff very friendly. Course needs to be cleaned up, taken care of but it is “early”. Cart paths horrible….staff very friendly. Driving range is hitting off mats…staff very friendly!
