Dorchester

Greens are very rough, as are the tee boxes. Staff doesn’t monitor tee times (a group had a tee time 20 minutes after us and staff let them go first, pushing our tee time back by about 15 minutes). No beverage cart came the entire round. Very compact layout so expect to be on other holes fairways and expect other golfers on yours.

Disappointed

Have played this course many times over the past 30 years. First as a 9 hole then 18 and now a 12. The course is in terrible condition. At least 4 greens are not puttable. Some are new but even some of the old holes are in terrible shape. Fairways are pretty rough. Sand traps are big holes in the ground. Looks like they’re putting money into the clubhouse but not the course. We will not be back this year.

Good Time With Friends

A bit of a slow start but after settling down we enjoyed the varying layout of the course.

Great course!

A fun course for learning, however 1 group that was learning caused a massive backup and were not letting people play through. We had to skip a hole because they were taking 30 minutes per hike doing instructions. After we passed them the day was enjoyable. I’m not so sure tee times and course play speed is enforced so beware of your time if you play here

Good time

Had a great day with my two sons. We are not avid golfer so this course met our needs. Good price for cart and golf. Course conditions are not great but now poor either. Had a good day.

Save your Money

This course is not for golfers. It;s for golf beginners, and even then, there's better choices. This is little more than a field with 12 pins spread around a field. It's hard to distinguish between the fairways and the greens, Strange layout with balls flying in all different directions. . On a positive note, it does have a nice clubhouse and friendly staff. It's hard to believe that anyone actually wrote a good review about this course. Hopefully my honest review will save you a few bucks. If you know how to play the game and want to enjoy a round of golf, go elsewhere.

Owner swearing

Decent course all things considering with Covid and the delays in the season. Good value for your money.
But had a HORRIBLE experience on the 12th hole....looking for partners ball and the owner drives up to us and starts swearing and yelling at us about driving off the trail....which was not marked ....I will not be back. The owner would not even apologize, even the staff said he was WAY out of line.

Great Course!

One of the best courses I’ve been too, the staff are super friendly and the course layout isn’t that hard to follow. My only complaint the greens are a little slow but other than that I’d recommend this course to anyone!
