Played another round at Acushnet.

The layout and conditions are great. If you cant have a good time playing here, your missing the point of why we play.

Nice Day @ Acushnet

I play this course fairly regularly and it doesn't dissapoint. A great course to walk and priced very reasonably. Course was in very good condition and weather was perfect -even though the back 9 had some significant winds.

Great Course

I played the back 9 yesterday 4-13-21 in the late afternoon. It was great, sun shinning , a bit windy, the course is in great shape and had the place to myself..

I play here once a week and it is challenging enough for the average golfer (me) and better players.

Best deal around, give it a try, you'll like it.

Great Golf Course

We played Acushnet River Valley Country Club the first weekend of April. The overall course was in really nice shape for early season golf.

The layout is really nice, tree lined holes with rolling fairways. Green are nice sized with tricky breaks. The back nine is more of a links style layout, where the wind played tough on a sunny day. With cart cost was $65.00 and that’s a bargain. Club house and snack bar were closed due to the Covid restriction,

Definitely will be back at this course this season.

Great course with challenging layout

Course is in great condition. Challenging layout makes you reconsider shooting straight for the pin every time. Pace was a bit slow, but would be fixed if they had an actual starter and didn't just let people play back to back all along the course. Great value!

2 courses in 1

This is a great track. Pace of play was a little slow, but it was due to a 1 hour frost delay. I named my review as “2 courses in 1” as once you get past the par three 12th, the course changes its layout to an open almost links style course from 13-17. It becomes a power hungry wide open, tee it high and let it fly course. Whereas the first 12 holes are “pick your shot,” these holes benefit long hitters as a way to close the gap between your playing partners if you’ve been struggling. The sand is sand, which is a rarity on the south shore. Normally bunkers are hard packed, where Acushnet is like hitting bunker shots off the beach. A nice change of pace. The off course amenities are nice. Good prices, and the hotdogs at the turn are MASSIVE. Would definitely play here again, worth the 50 minute drive

Beautiful course, TERRIBLE Pace of Play

This course itself is magnificent. Great layout, fun to play, challenging. However this course repeatedly has the WORST pace of play you will ever see. I’ve been here 7 times over the past few years and I’ve waited in excess all 7 times. You will start hole one with at least one maybe even 3 groups waiting to tee off. Then you’ll have to wait about 5-15 minutes EACH time you get to that new tee box. It often gets better on the back 9 as groups often call it quits early due to frustration and how long it’s taken them to get there. I wish this wasn’t the case as the course itself is beautiful. However it’s clear management values money and cramming as many golfers as possible into the day. Opposed to creating a great golf experience. Sad.
