Good Price to Course Quality

Unicorn is a solid municipal course. Conditions this year are the best I have seen since I have lived in the area and played it. Some good holes especially from the back tees, and your really cannot beat the price. You can hit drive on every par 4 and 5. You don't need to on a number of them, but your can. The last 2 par 4s have some length. Can get a little slow especially near the 4th hole, which is the 1st par 3 on the course. It is a municipal course not many amenities and not country club conditions, but a good course for a good value. close to Boston.

Nice course, great shape!

The early season rain has been great for this course. tje fairways are in great shape. Most greens are in nice shape and not super fast. A couple tee boxes are getting renovated.

Great staff, small, but nicely equipped pro shop. The restrooms still need a major renovation.

But overall a good value for the money.

Ok

Not an “‘easy “‘ course due to the narrowness of the fairways . Some long par 4’s and not many easy “ par 3’’s .
Work being done on hole 7 was unfortunate as the temporary green in front of the work being done was poorly done .
Overall , if your looking for a quick 9 and have some skill , ok to play

Good for working on your golf game

Pretty easy track and pretty average layout/conditions. Greens had been aerated so forgiving that. For the money and ability to get a rez the day before, as well as very friendly staff, I recommend it. Also like that it is so close for me living in Charlestown and that I am going against traffic to get there in AM.

9 hole muni

Great 9 hole muni for the price. Massive improvements over the past ~5 years. Still some issues (tee boxes) and pace of play is bad on Friday afternoons/weekends, but lots of fun to be had. As said in other reviews, bring your hard hat.

Remnants of a gem

Unicorn is not bad for the price, and the greens and surrounding rough are maintained well. Greens ran quicker than most other public tracks I’ve been to in the Boston area. The fairways are also pretty nice for a public track, with some patchy areas and other areas under construction. A few teeboxes were clubbed to death and need to be roped off, tilled, and reseeded. Above all else, this is a good place to learn how to play and reminds me of old style courses I grew up playing
