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.

Only played this course once this year because

They constantly over book tee times. While the course is nice, it is not run well. Pace of play is terrible. Not run as well as other courses. Poor management.

Almost perfect day

Had a great time as usual. Only thing I wish something was said prior about a few of the holes having temporary off green pin location. Other than that it was a great time as always.

Worth it

This is nice track and well maintained. The layout is fun and a good mix of links style and tree lined holes. Lots of birdies can be made and bogeys. The par 5's are reachable with two good shots. A good value for the beginner or intermediate player.

Still Great!

Made the annual trek out to ARV and it was nice to see the course is still in mint condition. Other than way too many ball marks, which is not the course’s fault, it was an A+ playing condition on a non-crowded, sunny November day. Well done ARV, keep up the tremendous work!

November golf

I play Acushnet 3-4 times a year. Played on a cold day in November but the course was still in excellent shape. Greens rolled as good as ever. And the hot dogs were great at the turn!

GOLF NOW EMBARRASSMENT!

Booked a hot deal 5 days before my round, only to find out golf now head double booked the hot deal. Was force to pay full amount and golf now did nothing to accommodate, or even credit my account for their mistake. Called 3 times, and each time was more embarrassing, then call before.

The people in customer service there suck beyond words!

First Time Playing

Worth one hour delay

Frost delay put off tee time for one hour.

Our group waited and we were rewarded to a very enjoyable round. Course in wonderful shape.

Fair and challenging track. Incredible course built in 1910.

Good Golf Course

I thought course was fair. Early holes are easier and reachable (GIR). Variability in course design with Front 11 in the woods, while back 7 wide open.

Way to slow

Close to 5 hrs. On a weekday is ridiculous. Slowest course around. They have been overbooking tee times for years now. They just can’t figure it out. Time for new management!

Always a good time!!

I've played Acushnet on several occasions and every 1 has been enjoyable except one. I love the 2 different layouts and you in for a surprise when the course changes. The bad experience was playing in a tournament that was in the middle of a drought season where the ground was so cracked and dry it was cart path only.
