Played this course 2 years ago, had a great experience and looked forward to playing again. Played on 8/25/18 and did not have a similar experience. Greens were in rough shape, bumpy and beat-up. The course mandated cart path only, despite it not raining in over a week - slowed down play immensely, almost a 5 hour round. Course was pretty dry, cart path only seemed a bit ridiculous. Happen to find myself in quite a few bunkers that day, and every single one was un-raked - not sure if this speaks to the course or the players, but seemed very sloppy (recommend putting more rakes in the bunker, some are pretty large and only one rake). $72 for the after 2:00 p.m. rate ($92 before 11:00 a.m., $85 after 11:00 a.m.) - way overpriced for the condition and location of the course (not that close to Boston, 45 min drive) - max I would pay for this course is $50, but probably won't be returning.
