Course in awful condition

Greens are in terrible shape. About 25% of each green is bare and just dirt. Tee boxes are either bare or weed infested. I would never return here, even if I played for free. Shame because the course layout is quite nice and it could become a very nice course

Good for practice.

The fairways, greens, and bunkers are in terrible shape, probably exacerbated by the drought. I played course 2.

You get what you pay for

I paid like $40 to play 18 WITH a cart.

Tee boxes hacked up

Fairways dormant

Greens were patchy, dry, and thicker than molasses. If you don’t put it within 3 feet there’s no way you are making a putt. I also don’t think anyone ever fixes their divots on the greens.

Some years ago the course was pretty good for the price. Not sure what happened but I’m not sure if I’m going back there again. Very unfortunate.

Worst I've ever played

Ponkapoag is insulting to the golfers that pay good money to play here. Tee boxes full of sand, long fairways, bare patches on the greens. Charging $40 to play here is criminal. I'd rather play minigolf.

Total disappointment

We knew rain was coming and my buddy called to make sure we would either get our money back or a rain check. He spoke Jillian on the phone and she said sure no problem. When we get there the scribbled sign on the counter said no refunds no rain checks. She never remembered the phone conversation.!!!! He called 2 hours ago.!!!So we thought we would get in 10–2 holes before the heavy rain. We are driving down the first fairway and I realize there is no score card or pencil. I have a pencil and paper in my bag. So we are hurrying to beat the rain. We played course # 1. We are on “2 and as we approach the green the front is all dried out, with bald spots of dirt and ruts. The course was in very poor shape but the nonchalant, could care less attitude of the girls working the counter and refusal of a rain check after 7 holes was unacceptable. I had played there a few years ago 6-8 times and never had any problems. When we got to the parking lot there 6-7 cars there. The girls said they never close. I did not go back to the pro shop it was raining so hard. I am hoping GolfNow might make some gesture to me even though it was a “hot deal. “. I don’t think I’ll be ever be back there again.
