A good value for the money.

While it may not be a country club , I like playing Ponkapoag Golf Course. I play here a few times a year. There are actually two different 18 hole golf courses here. Both are challenging , but fun to play. A good value for your money. I really like the layout on course two. Some holes are in better shape than others . When I played some had temporary greens and rough tee boxes. Disappointed,but not discouraged. The Golf Now “hot deal” made it all worthwhile.

Nice Course with a lot of potential....

First time playing Ponkapoag. I played twilight so it was nice and quite. The price is reasonable. It is a public course with a traditional tree lined fairways. It is a good place to practice your swing and drives but not putts. The greens are 2.5/5. There is difficulty in figuring breaks and speed. The pace of play is very good and some playing singles are hitting 2 balls. There is lack of cart paths and carts are only available before 4:30pm tee time. There are plenty of parking spaces. Overall there is potential for this place to shine.

Bunkers were better than the greens

When the greens feel like fairways and are in poor condition I wouldn’t want to recommend anyone to this course unless they are trying to get some warm up swings and no putting.

Returned After 3 Years and what a regret.

I have a son who is now getting into golf. Figured I would try Ponkapaug again after 3 yrs thinking it couldn’t get any worse, unfortunately I was wrong. I feel bad that this was our first experience together on a golf course.

Cart died on the 4th hole, called every number on the website, no answers, finally after an hour got a replacement. Greens were either not present (temp greens) or we were putting through patches. I could go on and on but not worth it.

Find a different venue, not worth the time, effort.

Worst Golfing Experience EVER!

Terrible, they should sell this course to someone who would take care of it, I played in a league here 5 years ago & thought I would give it another chance, BIG MISTAKE & NEVER AGAIN until it's sold... Great layout, it really is a shame because it could be an awesome 36 holes! 1 last thing, not 1 take on the whole course... UNREAL!
