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.

lots of challenge of the tees and on the greens
played one week after hurricane sandy, course was cleaned up very well. love this course and play it whenever i get a chance. they were without power last week so i played a couple other local courses and they were a good bit less desirable.
Five Ponds was a treat.
I played the course for the first time as a walking single, having always heard good things. It more than lived up to its reputation. An interesting layout for having a relatively small piece of ground, challenging and memorable holes, in terrific shape for the season. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will definitely go back.
Always a challenge
The weather conditions with a misty and windy day made the course play tough. Greens were good and overall course conditions were good. I was able to play the first four holes alone as the group I was to play with didn't show up and the weather kept people away. But when I caught up to players on the course and joined a twosome play slowed considerably, on the back nine particularly which is kind of the norm.
Attractive course with a variety of challenges
Beautiful course with water, hills, creek, dog legs to deal with. Greens are challenging but fair.
I am an average golfer but I was not intimidated by the course.
challenging course
Greens are usually in great shape. Course is well maintained.
Clubhouse is underutilized. Great public course.
The greens and fairways are excellent.
I have played this course several times over the years and this was, by far, the best shape I have ever seen it in. The price was also excellent through Golfnow.
Challenging course that demands accuracy
There is a reason why this course is always packed - it's very well maintained despite the high number of rounds it sustains. Most divots are re-filled and there aren't that many ball marks on the greens. The variety of the holes is the best part. I think I used every single club in my bag more than once. Some holes are very narrow which places a premium on accuracy. Two par three holes are quite exciting since they are downhill shots that need to cross a pond or a creek. Aside from the slow pace of play, my only other complaint is the positioning of the tee boxes - they are either too close to other tee boxes, or are at an angle that may pose a threat to other players, such as players approaching a different green. In both cases, they slow down the pace. Overall, it's a great course if you don't mind the slow pace.
Best conditions in the area; bar none!!!
Great course and in great condition!!! It was a great hot deal to play there on a weekday.
One of the best Golf courses in the area!
I found a super awesome discount on Golfnow.com to play here at 5 ponds. 58% off for a round here is unheard of so I had to take the opportunity to get out and play a round. The course was in great shape and I had an excelent time!
nice course in good shape, but the pace can get slow
I have never thought the staff was ovely friendly, but they were downright rude this round. Actually yelled - and I mean yelled -at us for not teeing off on time with another 2some - of course they had us going off on the back 9, with no starter and no mention they had put us with another group. The 2some we were supposed to be playing with were standing in the fairway waiting (5min) for the green to clear. We kept our decorum and did not yell back - but it was tempting
hard course but poorly run
The course was in great shape but the staff have no idea how to run it. It should not take 5 and a half hours to play 18 holes. They started everyone on the back 9 instead of mixing and matching which caused a huge backup at every hole. The staff was also very unfriendly and no help at all. The only reason I would recommend this to anyone is because it is one of the better courses in the area and you can usually get a good discount on GolfNow, but if you play there I recommend that you go on a day where you have nothing else to do and try to limit your contact with the club staff.
Decent course with some interesting layouts.
Usually in pretty good shape and has some good holes, mostly on the back nine but usually slow play.
