Unacceptable

You expect $40 golf to be lacking in certain areas but this place is an abject failure as a golf course. There are no greens it’s crabgrass with holes in (some of) them. I don’t have anything good to say about the conditions of the course.

Ponkapoag course #2

Course #2 is in terrible condition. The greens, except for a few, were impossible to putt on. Clumps of weeds and bare spots. The fairways were like a pasture. Couldn't tell the difference between the fairways and the rough.

Not playable

Course is not worth any money. It’s unplayable - no fairways. Greens essentially have dirt bunkers in the middle of them. Charging any money at all to play this course is too much. It is essentially not a golf course.

Horrible conditions

The conditions of this course to horrible. You couldn't putt on the greens as they were just sand and dirt with large patches of weeds. The fairways were in even worse condition. Tee boxes were non existent. Will not be back to play here again.

Id play money to never play this course again

First time going out of my way to write a review and honestly, if they mark my name for future bookings and reject me - theyd be doing me a favor. This course is AWFUL. Fairways are cut the length of the rough, there is NO ROUGH and the greens are the length of the fairways. If you do manage to stripe on down the middle on a par 5 and need to hit a wood in, be prepared for a fat shot out the ROUGH (apparently their fairway). The amount of sandy patches on the greens mixed with crab grass spewing out of the green AT THE SAME TIME makes this course incredibly bad. Lastly, Ill do you one better for the reader - my home course is Pembroke country club and the conditions are milestones ahead of this. AND THAT SAYS A LOT. no offense to PCC. The Cups are cut like A$5 which makes it even more the reason to get angry after spending 50 dollars to play on this embarrassment. You'd be better off playing in someones back yard. Never play here.

Conditions were worse than poor

There are no fairways on this course, only unattended rough.

You lose your ball even when it’s in the fairway because of the grass and weed length.

I’d prefer to play in the rough at another course than the fairway of this one.

The greens were even worse.

Where there was grass it was long.

The majority of the greens were cratered and exposed with sand, pebble and rock.

This was the worst golf experience of my life.

I have been playing for over 30 years.

GROUNDSKEEPING

Never played on a course where they left grass clippings anywhere on the course. My ball shouldn’t be getting lost in grass clippings and having time wasted searching for a ball that landed just a yard into the rough or fairway. The greens were terrible, some greens were 70% dirt/sand, so of course the holes next to the club house all look good as for the other 16 holes, well just be ready for a surprise bunker on the green. The attendants also don’t do anything for groups ahead of you taking too long or having 8 players, each group heads out every 5 mins which shouldn’t have been the case. We were constantly being pressured by a group of walkers behind us while we had to wait for the group(s) ahead of us to stop messing around. The best thing about this course, it’s right off the highway.
