Warminster's Five Ponds Golf Club
About
Warminster's Five Ponds Golf Club, true to its name, weaves through a series of five ponds that are deftly incorporated into the design. Naturally, water is a prominent feature on the course but there is also a rolling topography that provides interesting elevation changes. The layout starts with a more open front nine and becomes tighter and more wooded on the back nine. Many of the holes have elevated tees that offer scenic views of the surrounding countryside. It provides a challenging but fair round that features wide fairways and large, receptive greens that make it approachable for beginners. In addition to the golf course, Five Ponds boasts an all grass driving range and a 7,000 square foot putting green. Its condition, amenities, and of course the scenic layout have made the club one of the most popular public courses in the area.

the course is in great shape
the course is nice but the pace of play could be better
great course
interesting, well maintained, perfect greens, very varied hole setups
Extremely fun course
I absolutely love playing this course. It is in my top 5 courses in the surrounding area. Course is in great shape and not too challenging to a point you do not want to return. Highly recommend this course for a good time.
A fairly challenging course in great condition.
I've been playing 5 Ponds now for 3 years now and recently took a friend there for his first time. The staff does a great job keeping the course in tip top shape. The course played well, and gave enough challenge to make you want to come back.
They have a great short game practice area and a grass practice range (yeah for no mats). However, they need to keep the grass growing on the practice area. Lastly, the course has always plays a little slower, I have yet to see a ranger on the course keeping people moving. I will absolutely play there again.
Course was in good shape for being early in the season. Pace of play was around 4 hrs 20 mins.
Challenging course, especially on a windy day. Some blind shots so check the score card for the hole layouts and hazards.
This course was in better condition but the fairways were in bad shape.
I loved playing this course but they have let it get away. The fairways are in need of a lot of work.
What a Gem!
A wonderful course and courteous staff. A new location for me that has now become a favorite!
Great Value
Great course to play on. Challenging holes, well maintained. Staff super friendly. Good pace of play Great value for your money. Have played this course many times and will play it many more.
Firing range on overbooked weekends - Beware
This place can be a firing range and just plain unsafe on overbooked weekends. Pace of play of was beyond slow.. 2 1/2 hrs on the front 9 waiting on almost every shot/ tee box. My girlfriend took a direct shot ball to the thigh by a hack golfer taking his 90 yard shot at the green on the hole next to us while she was waiting in my cart next to the tee box. It narrowly missed my head while I was setting up in my tee box. Almost hit by 3 others balls while playing this round. Nice place for the area where there are very few public courses offered but beware on the weekends or busy days.
OK. Hopefully will get better..
Did not know aeration was done only a couple of weeks ago. (Golfnow should post this kind of information with a date of aeration). In any case, didn't expect too much but green was in better condition than expected. Bunkers needed some work with refilling of sand. The biggest disappointment was that the tees were moved so that the course was ridiculously shorter. Only white tees were available and these were moved to junior or even ladies tees, making the course VERY short. Too easy that it affected the fun of challenges. I'm sure these will get better as we head further into the season.
Nice course for December.The staff ( Brian) was not the most friendly.
Thank god it was not busy for once.there was a super slow twosome that wouldn't let me pass , so I had to give up hole 8.the course was in really good shape.This course usually takes almost 5 hours to play due to over booking.This is their biggest problem.
Always liked this course
Great course to play on, for the golfnow price.....even better
this course has surprisingly fast greens
this curse is in great condition with fast greens. did not like the cart path only policy
Great play
This course is always in excellent condition. When I played this fall no problems with leaves all cleaned up, tees fairways excellent condition and lightning fast greens.
Good layout
The greens were a bit unfair. For example the pins were placed all close to the edges and often on severe slopes I putted one green from below the hole about 8 feet and put the ball 10 inches past the cup just to the right and it rolled all the way back down to where it started and the next putt was similar in its return thankfully I sunk the third one
Great late Autumn Day
We were blessed with near 70 degree temperatures during the second weekend in November and really enjoyed our day on this course. The pace of play was a little sluggish as we waited pretty much our entire round.
The course was in great condition for the season!
Pace of play a problem
My round got off to a bad start even before the first tee shot. The pro shop staff did not seem to have any idea who was playing in what four-some. Almost had to play with five when he tried to add another to the wrong group. No ranger on duty, so pace of play was extremely slow. For an afternoon round, it took way to long to finish out. Course was in great shape and presents plenty of challenges. The greens were in great shape and plenty fast. Would definitely play again, but will pick a weekday morning.
Course condition
The course is always in great shape, the greens are fast and very well looked after. Great public course.
we all liked the course
had a great day,not crowded,good condition. we have played this course in the past and we will go back
