Terrible overpriced

Came up to Boston for a round with old friends and booked this on golf now. Figured for $50 it should be a decent course. Nope. Terrible conditions. Slow af. No cart girl. 9 holes only.

Good for working on your golf game

Pretty easy track and pretty average layout/conditions. Greens had been aerated so forgiving that. For the money and ability to get a rez the day before, as well as very friendly staff, I recommend it. Also like that it is so close for me living in Charlestown and that I am going against traffic to get there in AM.

9 hole muni

Great 9 hole muni for the price. Massive improvements over the past ~5 years. Still some issues (tee boxes) and pace of play is bad on Friday afternoons/weekends, but lots of fun to be had. As said in other reviews, bring your hard hat.

Remnants of a gem

Unicorn is not bad for the price, and the greens and surrounding rough are maintained well. Greens ran quicker than most other public tracks I’ve been to in the Boston area. The fairways are also pretty nice for a public track, with some patchy areas and other areas under construction. A few teeboxes were clubbed to death and need to be roped off, tilled, and reseeded. Above all else, this is a good place to learn how to play and reminds me of old style courses I grew up playing

Not for beginners

Took my girlfriend out for her first 9 holes, booked a 1030 slot on a Monday figured it would be a relaxing time to play a round at, I was wrong. First hole not even to the green and ppl yelled are you gonna take all day, we did our best to keep a pace up dident complete holes, 2 put max, on the 6th hole after our drives, bob, an employee, drove up to us and was extremely rude, telling us that it’s a 15 min max per hole( mind you we were doing that pace already) then proceeded to tell my girlfriend that she was using the wrong club while she was lined up, a 3wood on a par 5 , don’t see a problem with that, left right after that interaction, spoke with the GM who was nice and offered us another round on the house, but all in all don’t go here if your trying to play a nice relaxing game of golf, I guess they think a causal Monday at 1030am is tournament time, might never return.

Great conditions,

Unicorn stayed open all winter and the course still looks great. Dennis and his staff are very professional and the course is a very good value. 6 miles from Boston. Can't be beat.
