Beautiful but Overpriced for Punched Greens

Punched greens were a serious issue I understand it’s necessary I just wish we were given the heads up before booking. Price paid even as a hot deal was to much for a course with punched greens. That being said the layout is great and I’m sure the place is amazing when the conditions are up to their usual standards.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Rough shape

Course was very burnt out (not their fault) due to last few weeks of hot weather. Was also cart path only to protect fairways that were burnt out which slowed down play.

Greens were plush but VERY slow (unusual for that course). Wouldn’t play here again til late September or later depending on rain and weather. Love this course so hopefully it will bounce back !!

Fun track but poorly maintained

This could be a great course but fairways and tees are burnt out, greens kept excessively long and ridiculously slow.

Always a good day at Acushnet! Because of the heat and lack of rain, the fairways were a lttle fast as expected in such conditions. The greens were in excellent condition.

It’s a gem

Always enjoy playing this course. Very challenging for all type players. Even though the drought has affected the course, it’s still a gem of a course. Very friendly staff.

I’ve played this course before and enjoyed it. When I checked in for my tee time I was told that it was cart path only due to heat stress of the turf.

The course should let people know when they call for a tee time that it is cart path only.

Hot weather
Used cart

Very good course, but difficult conditions

Front nine has great holes with plenty of character. Back nine is less interesting. Current conditions were such that the course was played as cart path only. Very dry, fairways brown in many areas. Cart path only resulted in slow play and in 90+ degrees, somewhat taxing.

Have played this course several times and have continually been pleased playing here. Despite the drought we’ve had recently the organization has diligently attempted to keep the course in shape. I’m still going to play here and hats off to maintenance crew.

Fantastic course

With the drought and hot summer it’s hard finding a course in this good of shape.

Also playing 18 holes here is like playing on two different courses but in a good way! The front 9 is more tight with trees lining the fairways…the back 9 opens up to resemble a links style course which is wide open with plenty of par 5s for you long ball hitters.

The ONE major call out has to be the hornets. Not sure what’s going on there, but on probably half the holes and a bunch of the sand traps there were ground hornet nests that essentially made that area unplayable. There was one tee box that we couldn’t play from due to the hornets. Still I’d gladly play this course again and will be considering it for a season pass come next year!

Hot and humid

With the heat and lack of rain I’m very surprised the course was in such great shape. The yardages are awesome for an average golfer, challenging at times but not extremely difficult. Wish I lived closer I’d be a member.
