Slow

Quit after 5 hours and 17 holes. Brutal!

Too bad. Decent course.

Hire a ranger and spread out your tee times

Great shape as usual

I wish I could say it was horrible and keep people away, but I can’t say that. What ever your handicap there is a tee for you.

Excellent condition

From tee to green the course was in great shape, the fairways rival many private courses and exceed many. A true gem. The course amenities leave a lot to be desired but hey it’s really all about the golf here. Well worth playing anytime you get a chance.

Greens and fairways in great shape. Only gripe is they need rangers to speed up pace of play.

First Time Playing

Acusnett River Valley

First time playing this course. It was in great shape. The greens were a little slow but I adjusted quickly. The layout was very nice and the fairways were wide and allowed for slight miss hits to be ok.

A Step Back

Played out here a few weeks back and the course was in excellent shape except for the sand in the bunkers which is pretty sparse.

Now the bunkers still need some work, but the greens were a bit on the long side even though they rolled true. But the worse part was the pace of play. For some reason they sent us out on the back nine to start, and it turned into a 5 hour round with waits on every tee. I’ll be back because I like the layout and the golf rates are very reasonable. Maybe just picked an off day to play where the course wasn’t up to it’s past standards.

Great value

Beautiful layout and no frills - just good golf. In the woods until 12 then 5 links style holes mix it up and finish back to reality on 18. Great value and worth the drive.
