Worst course

Overall it almost feels like this course is taking your money . The course is so poorly maintained the fairways are like hitting out of the deepest rough and there is probably about 4 greens between course 1 and 2 that you can actually putt on it just seems like there is no effort put fourth even trying to make this a playable course .

Yikes, no maintenance

Inexpensive golf at a municipal course is always a good day but you really can’t play a round of golf here. Greens are the worse I’ve ever seen. I don’t think they maintain this course at all. Fairways look like my back yard and I have two dogs. Tee boxes have almost no grass. I grew up in the area and remember this course being a decent course. I wish I could give a respectable review but without playing a hole without a place you can put I can’t go back. If it dosent improve it may as well turn into a nice subdivision near route 128.

Stay Away

Course new to GolfNow which was great - easy to book a tee time and offered an online rate which seemed reasonable ($42 with cart). GolfNow offered mobile check-in...beautiful. I clicked and checked in and paid. Arrived at course and attempted to get a key to the cart and was questioned about not paying. Actually showed the confirmation from golfnow...not good enough apparently. Pulled up my actual bank online and showed the payment (shows as pending as I use my debit card linked to golfnow) - was questioned again. Finally he had us go (after saying what time is your tee time and it was now 5 minutes away as he had kept us there questioning us and then had the gall to say "well you better get going". Uh, we tried.

No food or beverages available at all on the course.

Now the course. HORRID greens. I usually say that I am not good enough to get too picky about conditions BUT...should greens have tufts of grass growing all around them? Should they have mounds on sand on them? Fluffy grass on them? Worst greens I have ever seen. Women's tees are in the middle of the fairway and barely visible. Course is not well marked. Will never be back. Save yourself the headache and pay a few dollars more and head to Norwood Country Club 10 minutes down the road. Or pay a bit more and hit Brookmeadow in Canton. If this had the option of 0 starts that is what I would give it.

Improving monthly

The course is well designed and the course conditions have improved every year especially the last three years.

The greens are just ok but again improving. They have spent a lot of time cutting back overgrowth of the fairways and you are starting to see the design of the holes.

The staff is pleasant and works hard to ensure you get out there quickly to play.

The price was great for the course today!!

The price is good ($17.00) but not worth ($40.00) to play golf here.
