#1 at Ponkapoag Golf Club

I can’t believe the horrible condition of this course, mostly the greenss. Which were mostly unplayable. The greens had craters with dirt and sand, and when there was grass on the green it was long.

Hard to believe that in middle of summer it’s this bad.

I am surprised they take money to play there, it should be reduced price, like winter or constructionconditions

Course is very dried out. Fairways are length of rough, greens length of a typical fairway at any other decent track. Back nine is a little better but could use some serious TLC overall. Also pace of play was outrageous on the front, took our group a little over 3 hours to get around.

Greens are awful, everyone is super friendly tho. Definitely getting what you pay for

Great potential. And you can tell the crew is working hard. But most greens were in awful shape. Many greens with multiple sand traps (at least that’s what they looked like).

I’m hoping the state invests a little more into bringing this back to glory. It really does have great potential.

Good value if you’re looking to get some practice in.

It is disrespectful to golfers that they charge money to play here. They should’ve paid me. Absolute joke.

I played course #2 at Ponkapoag on 7/2 with my husband. We were able to start earlier than our tee time which was nice but it took a bit to actually find the first hole, there was no starter to ask, some of the holes were not marked and we had trouble finding the next hole. Thank god for friendly golfers! The course itself was good, the greens okay. When we started on 10 it seems like people were just jumping in and we felt rushed. I would definitely play here again now that I have an idea of the layout.

Course conditions are not good particularly the quality of greens. But the price is great and course layout is good for a beginner. Overall I love the course and will play there more often.

I like the difficulties of the course. And each hole has its own challenges. I love to play there more often

Probably the worst-maintained course I’ve ever been on. Not only were some of the greens beat up and dried up to the point of looking like dried/hardened dirt, but then with other greens you literally couldn’t tell when the green started and ended. It was like someone had made the holes in their backyard and doesn’t maintain it or uses a regular lawn mower to cut the grass slightly shorter than the rest. I get that this location is super affordable, but didn’t expect it to be THAT bad.

*This was while playing the back nine of course 2

Love the look of the course layouts, if you squint. On closer inspection, fairways were like rough, most of the greens were in terrible shapem some unplayable, despite all the rain this spring This place needs a bigger budget, some professional groundspeople. Privatize! The state should not be in the business of running golf courses. It's a disgrace to the Donald Ross name.

I honestly can't believe MA 5hid boujee state would allow a state run course to look like THIS!!!! A VERY LONG TIME AGO I've been told by locals a us open was considered here. If they took care of this course just a Little bit it would be a great track. Everything is horrible!! Please someone buy it get someone in office who likes golf and will show some attention to it. Otherwise shut it down and stop rubbing people of money. It should be free at this point.

Poorly maintained. Grass overgrown in the fairways. Standing water in the holes on green. Too bad such beautiful surroundings. Will not play there again
