Anyone who ranked this more than one star is lying!!!! By far the worse course I have never played. Based on the reviews, my expectations were low. And, it was worse than the reviews. The greens were unputtable. No difference between the fairway and the rough.
First course that i requested a refund after 18. This was not golf

Course was in okay condition. Greens were extremely slow, lots of dead patches on the greens and fairways, tee boxes needed a lot of love, on the bright side, the fairways were wide open, the rough was okay, bunkers were decent and the prices were pretty fair. Overall, if you are looking for a decent course to learn to play golf on or just practice for fun, this is the place.

Overall, my experience here was positive. The best part about this course is the affordability aspect. It only cost $30 to play 18 holes if you were to walk. The most evident and persistent thing that frustrates me about this golf course though is the greens… they’ve been left to dry out essentially and some of them are hardly playable whatsoever. Being that it’s a municipal course I don’t anticipate it to be at a pristine level of course conditions. However, it appears to me that these green have been grossly neglected over the last couple of years and left to be as they are. Most holes I just give myself a 2 putt and move on. If they fix the greens, this could be a 4.5 out of five.

I played here for the first time because of its convenient location to Boston and available tee times. The Good: The staff is helpful and the driving range is useful with relatively premium mats and a variety of targets. However, the practice green is useless for putting — it is diseased and weed ridden — but could be used for chipping (maybe). The Bad: The fairways are unkempt and there is no signage at all around the course, so if it’s your first time, you may accidentally play the wrong hole after the 1st green. The Ugly: The greens are diseased, some with weeds growing wildly in the middle of them, some with dirt patches. I’m not sure these could be defined as “greens.” They would be better off just putting a hole in the middle of the fairway. I’m puzzled how the state of Massachusetts could have such little pride in their state golf courses. This course should be viewed as an embarrassment and a sign of disrespect to the game of golf. If you see my photo, that is supposed to be the 7th hole green — as you can see, it’s not playable. I hate to sound like an entitled a-hole, but we do pay money to play golf here, not “almost” or “kind of” play golf. You can’t really play a round without functional greens.

Hey are you a professional golfer? If not then Leo J Martin Golf Course is perfect for you. Do the greens have more sand than grass? Yes. If you hit it in the fairway will you end up on grass? Could do. Will you get hit with balls flying over the range net? Potentially. Will every lie test your sanity? Definitely. But does it offer probably the biggest bucket of range balls in the greater Boston area for just $10? Yes. Can you play 9 holes for just $19? 100%. Are the people nice? Absolutely. And is it one of the funnest courses I have played with my friends? Hell yes. If you want a course that is cheap, fun and filled with character and funny moments, Leo J Martin Golf Course will be amazing for you. Enjoy!
