Leo J. Martin Memorial Golf Course

I realize this is a state run course and people are just collecting a paycheck but how can you not have an ounce of pride or ownership if you are the super or In charge of upkeep. This course is an amazing location where there’s a ton of golfers who appreciate a good public course but it’s so bad I wouldn’t play it if it was free.

Stop being state hacks and actually put some effort in to bringing this course to the level it should be!

It’s a national disgrace!

This may be one of the worst golf courses in Massachusetts unfortunately. The greens are such poor condition that you might as well not even putt. Some holes weren't even greens. They cut a hole in the ground on a hill. I would only recommend this course to someone who was complete new to golf and wanted to understand how to play the game better.

It's too bad because the course has potential to be good but is very poorly kept. Could be a lot of factors but I hope it improves.

Not well maintained. Good for the very novice don’t keep score player who doesn’t mind a weed or two getting in the way of a putt.

This course has steadily gone down hill over the years. Now the greens and tees are more sand and weeds than actual grass. There is no point in bringing a putter with you, can’t find the holes with it. But, the course is good for beginners to get used to hitting at targets instead of just on the range.

Not expecting much, but pls remove dog poop on green

We should be be so proud of! MyGolfSpy.com just rated Leo J. Martin as the WORST GOLF COURSE IN AMRERICA!

Maybe now our legislators and Governor Healy will pay attention. Shame on Massachusetts.

Dont

We play here frequently…..suits our budget and is convenient……very nice setting along the Charles river, staff is friendly……course would be much better if greens were in better shape.

3 greens are unusable. The rest or great grass but just not maintained. The tee boxes are terribly maintained as well. Fair ways are great though. Pretty normal sized course. The variety of the holes are good. Average gold course, not bad, not great.

By far the worst conditions on any course I’ve ever experienced. Un playable greens . Moon crater tee boxes . 2 greens were fairway grass with a flag stuck randomly in the ground. No place for beginners of intermediates . Surprised it was busy can’t understand why anyone would play this course again.

This could be a beautiful course if the state would just put some money in it. And need to hire a decent ground crew. If you're a serious golfer it's a joke. Petition your congressman to put money into DCR courses.

Never seen a course look that bad in my life. The greens were equivalent to a bunker

Course is not well kept in places. Greens riddled patches of taller grass or completely bald grass less areas. Good place for practice, wouldn’t be betting any money with friends here. Staff is as nice as they come. Very nice people.

Course would be one of the best in Massachusetts if they actually put any effort into the upkeep of the course. Layout was great but the fairways had burnt, dead grass everywhere and the greens were 90% sand and some looked like a lawnmower hadn’t been taken to them in months just horrible and over grown.

The tee boxes are just dirt. The fairways are what other courses call the rough. The greens were horrendous. Your ball would jump left right and backwards on a 4-ft putt. We quit after 12 holes just couldn't take it any longer.

Great environment - trees, ponds, bird life but sadly in very poor condition.

Only play because nearby my abode and at an affordable price.

Great potential to be a high grade course but so sad to see it in such a bad condition.
