★★★☆☆ 3.0 Prashant Gokhale · Oct 2025

A gorgeous course to play and walk during Fall. But horrible course conditions. On one of the back 9 holes, I smoked a drive off the T, straight as an arrow? And it went into an unmarked creek. The map doesn’t have it - to lose a ball with a shot of the day perhaps sums of the course conditions. On another hole, I fit a ball to the left of the green, and it just disappeared into A bog. No prior warning of that hazard anywhere. For 89$ from outside, it is very expensive for the experience. Yes, divots on greens also a problem.it is a pity - it is otherwise beautiful course with mature trees and spectacular fall foliage. I wonder what can be done about the course conditions though? The water hazards can be marked better perhaps and mapped..?

⭐️⭐️ Disappointing Experience – Course Conditions Borderline Unplayable I played 18 holes at Ash Brook Golf Course recently, and I genuinely wish I had better things to say — but this was one of the more frustrating rounds of golf I’ve played in quite a while. What should have been an enjoyable day out turned into a slow, poorly maintained, and ultimately disappointing experience that I can’t recommend in good faith. Let’s start with the condition of the course, which was downright poor. The photos I’ve attached speak for themselves. The fairways — particularly on the front nine — were full of dead grass, large dirt patches, bare lies, and inconsistent turf. You’d hit a solid shot down the middle and be rewarded with a lie in nothing but dried-out dirt or a crater of dead sod. And this w

I’ve been playing Ash Brook for more than 20 years and the reason I give it one star is simple. We have only had a superintendent that knew how to maintain a golf course for about 5 of those 20 years and the course maintenance, specifically drainage and greens is atrocious. Every year the greens are punched once or twice and with the exception of 4 or 5 years it takes 6 weeks to 3 months for them to recover and putt properly again. They never fill the holes properly with the correct mixture of sand and fertilizer. I’ve attached 2 photos from the practice green where on one small area the holes have been filled and the other they haven’t. The area which is lighter color and you can see the sand is filled and putts true, the area that is green look nice but isn’t filled and it’s like is lik

This used to be a great course. However now the back nine is a complete mess. Which is fine - Mother Nature does what she does. But they need to make this a 9 hole course and stop charging for 18 holes until the back 9 are fixed. Additionally the club house and the restaurant have been under construction for over a year atleast. The front of the pro shop is also demolished. I hope they get their act together soon. Until then I will miss playing there.

This used to be a wonderful parkland golf course. It has since not so much gone downhill, as fallen off a cliff. For some reason, they flipped the two nine’s. The tee boxes are atrocious, not to mention they’ve literally dumbed down the course by moving them up. On some holes the whites are up 50 yards past where they used to be (to encourage speed of play I’m told). The 10th hole tee box was 75 yards past the old whites. Meanwhile the old tee boxes seem to be in ok shape while we played from junk. The greens were down right bumpy. Not just from jerks who don’t repair hallmarks, but the patches of weeds on many greens. This course always had a drainage problem, somehow they’ve managed to exacerbate it and it’s much worse now than it was in the late 80’s early 90’s. I’m not sure who they
