Par 3 at Cyprian Keyes Golf Club

I've been playing Cyprian since the day they opened. The layout is very unforgiving, which doesn't generally suit my game, but I've always enjoyed playing here. The greens are in very good shape, and the hot deal can't be beat. I played a lot last summer, and the afternoons were generally not too busy. I assumed the course's difficulty kept people away. This summer, though, has been an entirely different story. The round took almost 5 hours, and unfortunately my friend and I were only a twosome. I'll keep coming back because I like the layout, and if you put up a good score there, you've played a really good round of golf. I just hope the pace of play improves.

I played the course the day it opened, and have always enjoyed it even though it is very unforgiving. I was pleased to see it become available as a Hot Deal last year. I played numerous times last year on the Sunday Hot Deal, and was very happy to see that the tee sheet was often empty on Sunday afternoon. This led to quick rounds. However, this year, the course has been much busier, and the rounds now take close to 5 hours. The greens are still in good shape, as are the tees for the most part, but there are some bare and brown areas in the fairways. Hopefully the conditions improve, as well as the pace.

I've been playing here since the day they opened. I've always liked the layout, despite it being unforgiving. You really need to have your swing going, as there are less than a handful of full swings during the course of the round where you don't have a chance to hit into a hazard. There is a lot of elevation change, so I wouldn't recommend trying to walk the course. The course is in decent early season shape, and I found the greens to be a little inconsistent - they seemed to start off with a lot of pace on the front, but I couldn't get the ball to the hole on the back. The hot deal here is the best value around. I'll be back to lose another half dozen golf balls.

Course was in good shape. Greens were great, Tee boxes were fair and fairways were fair (aerated recently too). Pace of play was very slow on front nine, maybe overbooked?

beautiful course. very challenging. Very nice greens. Staff was very nice. So why the bad review? played 14 holes in 4 and a half hours. No rangers anywhere to do something about pace of play. We walked off the course after 14 holes. Would have been 5 and a half hours if we had stayed for 18 holes. from what i have read, this is a frequent occurrence, yet others on this site say otherwise. Maybe it depends on the day?

Bring your "big boy" pants, you're going to need them. All the challenge you're every going to want. You need accuracy everywhere on this course though the course is set up very fair. Very challenging greens. Course top notch everywhere. Very enjoyable

Course has many very narrow holes especially on the front nine. Greens were very fast with several difficult pin locations. Using a drive cart a necessary due to the many hills and slopes too.

When I was there, no practice range was available and course does not provide location to chip near putting green.

Bring your A game and extra golf balls to play Cyprian.

Busy tee times seemed like the crammed a lot of golfers on course and it just took to long. Its a challenging course. Well maintained but for that price there are much better options

Course conditions were very good. Greens were in good shape and rolled well. Pace of play was good mostly because they had a club championship and we were one of the first groups out. Made us start on hole 10 though even though the first tee box was open for over half an hour. Poor communication and unfriendly staff. I would still recommend playing the course because it is one of the most challenging layouts in MA. Just don’t expect much from the staff.

Excellent conditions, the group in front of us was slow, had a couple open holes in front of them, 5 hour round.

Got a hot deal on GolfNow for this round, but even regular pricing at this course is good value for what is a well maintained, attractive and very challenging course. My tee time was around 1 pm, but there were no groups ahead of me, so the starter told me to start as soon as I was ready. Paired up with a twosome, we raced around the course in 3 hours 40 mins, even though I was walking. On that last point - this is a tough course to walk. Make sure you are fit, hydrated and have calorific food to sustain you if you choose to walk. The course itself can be very punishing if you are offline with your tee shots and there are many par 4s and even most of the par 5s where you are wise to avoid taking driver, or maybe even have no choice, depending on how long you are. You’ll probably won’t believe the number of times you have to use a range finder from non-par 3 tee boxes.
