Review from Mark S.

I went this past Sunday and had a 2pm tee time. $35 for 18 with a cart. With the cost being so low I was expecting a shit hole.
The course was in beautiful condition. The front 9 is a typical course lay out and the back is more of a links style. I personally think they should have the links first since the holes are so damn long. I was exhausted towards the end of the round and the length of the holes made it even more difficult. At first I attributed this to it being my first time out this year. But after talking to the other 11 people in our party everyone said the same thing. Nonetheless I found it to be a well thought out course and in great shape.
I was a little worried when we showed up and the line for the first tee was deep. There were 12 people in our group with a 2pm tee time. I overheard 3-4 guys in different groups also say they had a 2pm tee time. The ranger started a few off at the 10th and we were on our way. Play was quick and we didn't wait at all.
I have to agree with the other reviewer that it's truly a "hidden gem". I would definitely go back! -

For the $35 twilight rate (after 2 PM on weekends), this place is an absolute steal. Fun layout that includes a New England-style front nine (well, 11) with tight fairways and trees. The back 9 (7, really) is links-style. Wide open, deep rough, keeps it interesting. Conditions were very good to excellent, friendly staff. They don't have a real clubhouse (which I guess is why it's cheap). They have a big tent out back, with a guy cooking burgers and dogs. Small service bar with some good bottled beer. I wish this course was closer to home, I'd play there all the time.

Great local muni! The front and back 9s are night and day-you go from a typical New England woodland course to a "links" style course. The conditions are very good except for the bunkers which are full of rocks. Do your clubs a favor and take a drop! Friendly staff and reasonable greens fees.

This hidden gem is in SE Mass. The course is in immaculate condition with long rough, manicured fairways and top flight greens. The design is a bit unusual with the front nine laid out as a typical course in the pines and a back nine laid out in a links style.
The blues play around 6300 hundred yards with 122 slope; the course is challenging but not overwhelming. You are dead if you do not keep your drives in the fairways. The rough is long making the second shot to the green very difficult. Greens are firm and fast. Best to play with someone that knows the course the first time. There are several blind shots on the front where local knowledge is important. Staff is friendly and accommodating. My only real compliant is that they pack the course at times leading to 5 hour rounds. -

I can only think of one explanation for how a public course of this caliber came into existence here: Acushnet is the home base of Titleist! There are (as I recall) five sets of tees, so the degree of difficulty is almost infinitely variable...though I doubt that it becomes a cream puff even from the most forward. Challenging without being depressingly difficult, the challenges here are legitimate (i.e., mostly natural) rather than presenting you with a 'tricked up' course. An outstanding value.
There's a driving range, and large practice putting green.
Sure, they saved money on the clubhouse - with its limited, but adequate food and drink offerings. But who cares? For a wedding reception, maybe you should look elsewhere!
