Griss

Got paired up as a single with 3 guys that were walking. I was told that I would have to pay for one of the strangers to ride if I wanted a cart. So I paid for 2 and the strangers walked. In February. Disgusting

Winter golf, yes please!

Plays better in the dead of winter than many public courses do in the middle of summer. Big thanks to the staff for keeping course playable.

No frills. All fun. All the time.

At first glance Unicorn Golf Course can be just as dubious as it’s skeptical name suggests. If you are looking for a 19th hole and a spacious locker room this ain’t your place.

So why do I love Unicorn?

It’s the accessibility (close to Boston and 93), the pace (under 2 hours for 9), and the golf course!! Not overly difficult but certainly no slouch. 122 slope from the blue tees. Hilly terrain tucked in the woods, big waved sand traps guarding small greens that tend to run with the weather. Open all year, the best winter golf in the area. Friendly staff and good little putting green.

Great wine conditions

Went out on January 30 and except for one wet area, the course was in great shape. Good layout, inexpensive and great staff. Go to Unicorn for a good time of golf

Good place, wear a helmet

Yeah, I like it here. No frills, nobody with an attitude; staff is friendly. Just a good place to play. Be careful of errant shots, though, several fairways border others and shots are sprayed all over the place.

Watch out for errant balls - hard hat needed, but great for my wife

This is 9-hole course. My wife only likes to play 9. Can walk here, which again my wife likes and is good for (out of shape) me. Many of the holes are back and forth, and lots of not so great (new) golfers. This course is great for beginners, although its design was for private company course so it had a number of STRONG par 4s (1, 4, 7, 9). Hat needed explained - 1 and 9 for example are next to each other. Right of 1 is nine, and right of 9 is 1. There often more balls played from 9 fairway, then 1 😏 Vice-a-verse for 9. 2/3 next to each other on the right. 6/7 are also back and forth. You should get the idea, but late afternoon is perfect time to play nine.

Unicorn in the fall

Great conditions. I’ve played here before before but the conditions today were excellent. The only problem with this course is it does get busy. Plan for. 2 hour minimum to golf 9. Other than that it’s a great value. Long holes and great greens.

No Frills but Fun

I love playing here. It’s no frills but everyone working there is awesome and the guys that play are all out there to have fun but get better. Conditions have improved during the fall (summer drought hurt everyone) and I’ll keep coming back for years.
