We went for the food, and it is top notch delish!!! I have said that I'd eat there everyday if I had the choice. Not a bad item on the menu EDIT- After SIX years, this WHOLE review still holds true! Amazing food, service, did i mention food and service?? Everything is delicious! Always look forward to April when the kitchen is open back up for the season. Tyler and his staff are top notch!

This is an unsafe space. Their own manager dressed up in blackface -- I would never support a business that, in 2024, is OK with such explicit racism. You are who you employ.

What an amazing course!! Little tricky for a first timer, but we had an absolute great time! Brian Schultz is the best! Very informative on where to go, and seemingly the best multi-tasker I've met to date! Big thanks for an awesome outing at your facility! We will definitely be back!!

Nice people, very friendly atmosphere. 27 hole course with 3 putting greens and a huge driving range with no mats, you always hit off grass and you get a ton of balls for only 5 bucks! . U can keep your own cart there. 25% discount for membership if you are from outside of Plymouth County. Nice bar and dining area, very spacious and well kept. Reasonable prices for food and drink. Excellent greens and fairways, and Brian is the friendliest pro of all time, as was his dad. Doug gives very helpful lessons. I highly recommend this golf course.
