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!
