Fresh Pond Golf Course

I've been golfing here for 5 years, and it just gets better every year. The greens are in great shape! The pro shop is awesome and stocked with good prices. They recently helped me purchase a new set of irons, and it was a seamless process! I was even able to exchange some old clubs for credit. You really can't beat the value and proximity of this course. I find the staff to be really friendly unlike some of the reviews I've seen here. It's been the same crew since I started! Shout out to Andrew who helped me pick the clubs I was looking for. Absolutely love this place!

I played here well over a dozen times this summer and have nothing but good things to say about this 9 hole course right in the heart of Cambridge. Some reviews on here call this a "beginners course," and while I guess I get what they mean, I believe this course has enough going on to make play enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels. There's elevation change, water hazards, and the course maximizes use of the naturally occurring geography of Fresh Pond to keep play interesting. The lone tree sticking out from the left hand side woods on hole 4 will forever be the bane of my existence... I…

I have lived close to this course for the last fifteen years since moving here from England. I have been lucky enough to play some of the best golf courses in England and here in the US. Fresh Pond Golf Course is absolutely the best value round of golf in the Greater Boston area. It would still be good value at twice the price. Bob and Andy in the pro shop run a very tight ship - the course and greens are always in excellent shape. They are professionals, they care about the game and care about their course. Play there - get to know them - it will quickly become your favorite place for nine ho…

Just golfed here for the first time last Friday, and now see why the tee times fill up! The staff was friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked up to the club house, even showing us the practice green and made sure we knew where the first tee was. The course makes you forget you're as close to the city as you are! Great views and challenging shots, this was a great course for me and my fiancé to enjoy together to help our game. Really looking forward to making this one of our regular courses!!!

A great walk and nice little course. Starter and pro shop were friendly and helpful. Found the course to be a nice layout with good variety of shots required. Witnessed the JAZZ tour and a clutch performance on number 9, love finishing with a par 5.

The starter (older gentleman with a mustache), was very rude. Was golfing in a foursome and one of us didn’t have clubs as it was their first time golfing and was going to share with me since we were playing best ball. He claimed it would slow down pace of play (doesn’t make any sense). And forced her to walk all the way back up to the clubhouse which actually slowed us down. I understand policies but some don’t have to be enforced if not needed, he was very condescending

Course is short and tight, usually in relatively good condition. My biggest gripe is that it often takes 2+ hours to play 9 holes, despite the course being under 3000 yards (from the blues). PLEASE employ a ranger. It’s completely unacceptable to have 4 separate groups waiting to tee off 6 holes into a round. I’ve never seen this at another course in 20+ years of playing.

An amazing bit of golf heaven in the middle of the city. A couple of spectators from August 2021 along the 5th hole observing my golfing acumen. They weren't too impressed, but I was in the fairway! Looking forward to seeing them in 2022!

The fresh pond golf course was nice. Easy to play. The greens were in really good shape. The fairways and tea boxes were a little bit rough but not too bad. I did not get into the clubhouse so I have no comment on the clubhouse. The parking lot did seem a little on the small side.

Nice course, I enjoyed playing here. Well kept, decent layout, and long enough holes for a 9-hole course. Fair price for being in the city at $30 ish dollars, $40 on weekends. Little higher than what I would like but its worth the price. Only two gripes i can really say is that the pace of play is slow and the greens are very slow as well. They don't sell any beverages or food either, there is a vending machine downstairs that has very limited selection. It doesn't even have water in it the last time I checked so bring your own drinks if you need them.

Great course but I felt the greens were a little faster than some other courses in the area.

A gem within the city. Words of advice, Book online for day(s) advanced tee times, and read the website!
