Nice course

The gentleman in the golf clubhouse was very nice. He was informative and professional knowing it was our first time playing the course. The price was a little higher than it should have been considering the conditions.
The course is not visually pleasing like some courses I have played. It was a little beat up in the fairways and lacked proper signage for holes, 100, 150 and 200 distances. With that said, the greens were in excellent shape. Not firm, but plush and very few blemishes. Very hilly course with undulated greens. Some holes had fescue obstacles and deep bunkers. They were running a lunch special for $10, which was basically a free drink (alcohol included). Food was good, not great and the service was excellent. I would play here again.

A Pleasant Surprise

Played this course with 3 friends. I had been a member here for quite a few years. Many of my fellow members became unhappy with condition of the course and the promises that were not kept to improve it. Now I see a positive change. The greens were excellent all putting the same. The improvements they made to the golf course are starting to take shape. The fairways now have plush grass that welcome you to take a digit. I can only hope that the improvements will continue.

Course Improvement

Course was great, Chalenging and different holes.Cart Boy Niko is great. Your check in personal, I think who is also the course pro, however has some personality issues. Not easy to talk to . Have had no problems with Phil but this guy today was anything but friendly. Love the course. Your grounds superintendent has done a great job with the greens and fairways over the last two years. Huge improvement. We finally have grass to hit out of on all fairways.

Golf motorcycles

I enjoy this course but while it is not the best around, they invested in golf cart motorcycles and they are the greatest advancement in golf fun since the start of the cart girl.
Golf motorcycles are fast, nimble, easy to drive and so much fun.

Fun outing- bring bug spray

We have had lots of rain, so the course is in good shape!! Great day- it wasn’t busy and so the pace of play was perfect.

Bring bug spray!! The mosquitos were terrible, even in the middle of the day.

Improved

Hadn’t played here in a couple of years. The course conditions were in a steady decline for a number of years. It seems as though the tide has turned and the tee boxes, fairways, and greens have undergone a vast improvement. The biggest problem is with pace of play; instead of grouping players into foursomes, you can have a single in back of a foursome, twosomes and threesomes mixed in. Add in some extremely slow players and it can be a frustrating long round.

Winnapaug GC

The greens were very good and so were the sand traps and waste bunkers. The fairways were decent but the rough needs some work. Lots of bare spots in the rough but then again you should always keep it in the fairway!!

Going down hill

Paid $40 for 18 + cart online. Course was in rough shape. Greens were bumpy and only partially grown in. Fairways were sparse and hard. Tee boxes were chunked, sparse and hard. Bunkers were like cement. Not going back here in a long time.
