Course #1 Photo submitted by u9313610 on 10/19/2022
greens are a joke
worst greens i’ve ever played in my life - all cut to fringe length its a joke. don’t waste your time. better off chipping on the greens instead of putting.
Just don't
Unless of course you're into sand traps on the greens and greens with inch long grass.
Probably the worst condition course I've ever played
Bad greens, good course/value
I knew the greens were in rough shape going in. So I wasn't disappointed. The sand traps are kind of hard and have no rakes..
BUT, The course layout is interesting and well done. I wouldn't walk it as sometimes there is pretty good distance in between holes, But I thought the layout was good.. Everything is green, the fairways are terrific.
The greens are an absolute disaster. Not just brown and patchy, but even where they're green. You can see the ball bouncing along as if it's over 30 miniature speeds bumps.
I thought it was a great value and I would absolutely play there again. Just don't plan on being to concerned with putting.
It was also a fairly quick round and I had heard it could be slow but that wasn't my experience
Worst greens I've ever seen
First time on this course. Will not be back. It's very cheap so I'm sure it's fine if you just wanna hack around. At one point I was thinking about using my pitching wedge on the green. Massive sandy areas on greens. Weeds growing out of them. Bunkers are full of grass and weeds. All around just not worth the time.
Ponkapoag course 2
The only thing I can say bad about the course, are the greens, they are in horrible horrible shape, there are10 different kinds of weeds growing on the greens, and there are sand spots otherwise I love the course.
Course has great features.
The greens were in tough shape but the rest of the course was good. Still had a good time playing this course and the staff were great as well.
Greens horrendous
The greens were an embarrassment. The was no grass on at least a 3rd of every green. If there was any green the balled was hopping hitting the weeds and bare spots on the greens. The sand traps didn't have any rakes.
Played in 3 hours which was great but the greens took away any putting.
Course condition
Course 2 is not well kept. Greens are non existent.. leave your putter in the bag.. you’re chipping all day here. Lots of bee hives inside the sand traps. Biggest bees I’ve ever seen.
Course conditions
The greens are unplayable
It’s a shame the state is still in control of this course
Beyond Horrible
They should seriously close this course. It appears it hasn't been taken care of for many years. Unplayable greens, unkempt grass. They didn't even have rakes at the sand traps.
Embarrassment
I will never play here again. Horrendous conditions. They should close this course. The greens were literally unplayable and sand traps not maintained in years. See pics.
Shocking
What a sad state the golf course is in. Unacceptable. It is the worst conditioned course over ever seen and for what would be one of the best layouts in all of New England ( Ponky #1) it is criminal. Really the people who are running and making decisions for the DCA should not have the job they have.
Having played there over 25 years and the course having its ups and downs, this is an absolute new low. Greens are longer than a reg courses fairways but then also dead dirt spots everywhere. Shameful!
Nice layout, greens were in terrible condition.
It looks like no effort is made to tend the greens. All had bare spots, weeds, overgrown spots. Worst I’ve ever experienced.They took the fun out of the round.
