Course Highlights
This southern New England gem consistently delivers exceptional conditions, with well-maintained fairways, tee boxes, and greens that impress even after aeration. The thoughtful layout blending tight front-nine holes with a more open back nine offers outstanding value for the quality of golf.

Very enjoyable

Will definitely be back. Enjoyable course in good condition. Course layout really suited my eye. Not much in the form of amenities but it is definitely worth playing.

Great shape. Fun course to play.

Acushnet River is a very nice public course. Given the dry summer, the course is in excellent shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all lush and in great shape. The greens were a little slower than expected but ran true, so were great to play. Staff is friendly and the pace of play was very good. Bring a GPS app (such as the free GHIN app) as several holes have tricky, semi-blind landing areas for shots. You will really enjoy Acushnet.

Stay away!

Course in very rough shape. Fairways fried!! Greens were like putting on a shag carpet. Course needs several weeks to recover from the draught. Great layout when it’s right, give it a few weeks to recover.

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.

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.
