Terrible greens

I have played many municipal courses all over the country and this one had the worst greens I have ever played on. Covered with poa,large areas with no grass at all ,bumps ,patches with bare spots . Sad to see a Donald Ross design in that kind of condition.

Course #1

Early season round so things weren’t great. Most Tee’s and fairways were pretty good. Half of the greens were pretty good but others were not.

Most of the sand traps were ok but some needed attention. I played for 15 bucks walking and meet Sean on the back 9 and had a good time.

Ponkie

This is a course with amazing potential if just a bit more effort was put into it. It has all the looks that a golfer could ask for. The fairways were fine but the tee boxes and greens could certainly benefit from some TLC.

In spite of that, I really enjoyed playing the course.

Donald Ross knew what he was doing.

I booked the tee up time of 3:00pm, with including cart fees in the GolfNow. However, I had to walk because the last time for cart was 2:30pm. I didn’t receive the cart fees yet, and I will complain to the GolfNow later. The condition of green was not good, whereas the fairway was good rather than I expected.

GREENS

I love this course, a little long for me, but worth it.

The greens need to be fixed up, #12 is like playing in bunkers, #17 is like mud at the top of the green most likely from too much shade from the trees.

Great layout but……

This track has so much potential. Just don’t understand why the course is so unkept. Looked like plenty of help was out there but the greens were one of the worst I have ever played. Fairways not cut and when they were, clumps of grass everywhere.

Guess the course knows this, thus the cheap green fees.

Get what you pay for.

Course design

Course 1 is well designed with improving fairways and bunkers (newer sand). Course conditions have improved. Greens and tees had a hard year and continue to be very patchy and burned out.

Staff is helpful.

This course is terrible, not maintained at all . Greens pitted, not routinely cut . Fairways are like cow pastures. They are stealing your money on course number one .

Wouldn’t Recommend

I lost most of my balls simply because I couldn’t find them in the tall tall grass of the fairway. Couldn’t see my club head at times.. super frustrating when

Worst Course I've Played

I have only played courses in Ohio and this my first time playing in Boston so I am unsure of the overall quality across Boston and how that matches up with prices. With that being said, I have never played a course where half of the green has no grass on it, just sand. Made putting pointless. Overall slowest greens as well. Would not recommend. Spend the extra money and go elsewhere

Absolutely beautiful course

My first time on course 1 and it was beautiful. They have a driving range, putting green and there was maintenance out there doing a phenomenal job. 10/10 will play again.

Greens are slow tho. Like reeeeallly slow.
