Acushnet River Valley Golf Course

Supposed to tee off at 1133 didn’t get out until 12 be cause it is so backed up. Slowest round of my life.

Aeration was underway throughout the courses and could be acceptable.

However, huge aeration vehicles were all over the courses for the entire play and there had been 3 vehicles at the fairway for one of the holes while we’re playing.

A ball even got caught by vehicles. They were not hesitating and surely didn’t care for golfers at all.

Very rude and unpleasant!!

Staff unfriendly and unhelpful. Double booked my tee time. Had to wait additional 10 minutes to play. Pace of play was terribly slow and was unnecessary. Barely got round in before dark. Moreover, the course closes the access gates at 7:00 pm even if people were on the course.

Not a good start. We were disappointed that we had to pay extra to have separate carts. Also, we only got about 15 range balls for $5. However, the course was in very good shape and pretty challenging from the blue tees.

Was looking forward to a relaxing early morning round. The starter was rude to me (as he always is) on the first tee. The grounds crew must have gotten a late start, because they were on every hole on the back 9. Spent 2 hours listening to leaf blowers, and waiting for them to get out of the way. They didn’t seem to care that there were golfers out there. The greens were awful and inconsistent, some were soaking wet, some had been mowed, and some had been aerated. The inconsistent greens made it really hard to gauge the speed. This course seems to be going downhill, unfortunately.

One of my favorite courses in the area. Great holes, well conditioned. Challenging. But the pace of play was beyond horrible. Took three hours to play the front nine, gave up and fortunately was able to play the front nine again to get in 18, but can't recommend on a weekend that's for sure.

I love acushnet. I play there about 5x a season. There is nothing bad I can say about the course itself. It’s always in excellent shape. Greens are great. Fairways great. Challenging yet fun and not discouraging. Grill outside is awesome. Best hot dogs around lol. All I can say negative is the pace is slow many times and tee times are behind. I didn’t see a single ranger on the course most times I’ve played. And the starter guy is not too friendly some days..

Nice course...wish there was food and drinks available the day we played. Tent was there with a grill etc but no one was cooking and no drinks were being sold.

I have always loved this course and its great variety of holes and course conditions. While the greens were much slower than usual, I will chalk that up to the hot, dry summer we have had and maybe they are afraid to cut them too low. However, the starter (and ranger, I'm told) is a very unpleasant old man. All he does is sit on the 1st tee and collect receipts and bark at people. He does NOT act as a ranger and go out on the course to monitor play. If he did, he would have seen us wait on EVERY shot of our 5-hour round. I will only play ARV again if I can snag an early am tee time because I am all about playing a 4-hour round or less. This course is NOT committed to pace of play despite being a terrific golf course.

love playing ARV. Always have. fun front 9, i struggle on the back. But 5+ hours is unacceptable. i talked to a ranger after the round and he understood and he could not have been nicer. he knows it is an issue but there is only so much he can do. other than pace of play i would give ARV a solid A rating in all other categories
