Budget-friendly, but course needs work

Check-in was great. The staff was great. Unfortunately some holes had awful putting greens. Some holes had fairways that looked more like extensions of the rough.

The greens are nearly unputtable with many bald spots and diseased patches. They aren't cut like a normal green. Therefore, the ball doesn't roll properly. Bring a sledgehammer instead of a putter. The fairways grass length is like most golf courses rough. The tee boxes barely have grass on them. The bunkers are either completely taken over by weeds or there's mounds of sand that have been just left there for months. A few hours of raking would fix it. Otherwise nice course.

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.
