In summary

Townsend Ridge Country Club is frequently praised for its well-maintained, challenging course with narrow, tree-lined fairways that require strategic play. The staff is noted for being friendly and professional, and the club offers excellent amenities, including quality food and golf lessons. However, some visitors have mentioned issues with course organization, such as the absence of a starter leading to crowded play, and occasional inconsistencies in course conditions, particularly during wet weather.

Great location for attending the kickoff for the political campaign of Chris Lyons who's running for State Senator in the first Middlesex District

Had a foursome in a golf tournament at this course. It was maintained very well, carts were in great shape, staff was professional, and the meal they prepared for all of us was excellent. This is a private course but I’d definitely consider playing there again!

Great course, plays a little narrow on some holes, requiring you to place your shots. Definitely recommended!!

I gave it four stars because I used to golf there for days a week, but then they went private so now I can’t go there anymore unless with a member

Great course. I have heard of it but never played. Got a chance to play it in a tournament today and I will definitely go back to play it again. I have heard a lot (some negative ) about it is too tight and too difficult. I don't agree, I found one very narrow part 4 but other than that, no problem there is some target golf for sure and I found a couple of the greens to be quite a bit faster than others. So there is some inconsistencies there but that is really nit picking. Nice course

Course (par 70) is narrow, tree lined, and challenging. Fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Golf pro and staff very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Greens crew does an excellent job. Great course; highly recommended!

Very nice course, but very unorganized Just played two days ago and the course was still in good condition. I bet it would be 10x better in the summer. The thing I did not like is how it was very unorganized. There was no starter! So every player was right on your tail, barely giving you enough room to breath to play golf. People, where yelling and talking while I was tee-ing off. If they had a starter, I doubt I would of had this issue.

Was told the course was wet and cart path only but they should have told us the course was almost unplayable. Floating fairways are expected but 5 inch rough unmowed made us spend lots of time just finding our ball and usually taking many strikes to get out. Should have at least given us a price break.

Great course and have enjoyed playing there but today's round was disappointing as the 4some in front od us were drinking too much and played slowly and erratically
