Pembroke Country Club

"First time playing in New England. Even tho I was in a rush this course was perfect for the scenario. I was only able to play the front 9 and wished I could had gotten to the back 9 since it looked like it was getting mote difficult. This place gives forgiveness a new definition. you can have a whole pizza slices on your swing and still not have the feeling of throwing your clubs in the trashbin."

"To start off the day, the starter was very nice and took the time to give us a run-down of the course for our first time being here. Shortly after, the experience took a turn for the worst. The ranger stopped us multiple times, demanding to pick up the pace when there was already a backup ahead of us. I then told him that I was trying to teach my partner, who is a newer golfer. After that, his response was “she should play best ball. It’ll be more fun that way,” which was a total derogatory remark towards her for being a girl. A few holes afterwards, he then approached us again demanding us to pair up with the twosome in front of us. However, there was no where for us to go because the foursome in front of them was still teeing off ahead, causing a back up. The ranger completely sided with the group behind us, who was not only driving their carts all over the greens when it was cart path only, but also deliberately hitting balls directly at us with no warning. The fairways, the greens and the cart paths are a total disgrace and for $90 to play 18 holes and cart path only is a total rip off. Had an awful experience and would not recommend to anyone."

"It's a shame what this once sought after course has become over the last 20 years. The driveway is in shambles, the buildings are falling apart, it's just depressing all around. The incessant reminders from the staff and signs everywhere for "Cart Path Only" is exhausting, almost infuriating. Every golf course in the world allows golf carts, I don't why there's a buy-in that it's normal to be "Cart Path Only" for all 18 holes at Pembroke. I specifically called to make sure carts were available in the morning, they conveniently failed to mention "Cart Path Only" then. It's all so.....odd. To the actual golf. We paid $45 each for 9 holes with a Cart. That's more than most, if not all, public courses around here. Fairways are beat up (but don't drive on them!). A lot of fungus and dead spots. Same on the greens. The cart paths are just terrible. For some reason most of the tee boxes seem to be pretty good. It's really depressing all around. I'll be rooting for a comeback. The location is great, it was once really nice, and the layout is fun and challenging. To the idea that this place could be great again, my friend said to me "I dunno man....I think the Earth decided to take this place back". Basically just don't golf here. Even if it's the only place around that has last minute available tee times (the mistake we made). We did end up having a lot of laughs, the place provides plenty of ammo for jokes."

"Came in May of 2023 for a Wednesday 10:30am tee time. James and I ended up sandwiched between two retiree-aged groups, so we took our time playing. The fairways and tee boxes were great- well maintained and wide as they come, however the greens were in miserable shape- it appeared to be some synthetic surface which made it like putting on concrete and divots everywhere. I did like the overall design and layout, with a reasonable number of hazards and relatively long holes (definitely get a cart). Overall, reasonable price for what you get."

"You know those signs on the highway advertising something incredibly exciting, but then you go and it’s your basic tourist trap? Welcome to the Pembroke Country Club! I’ve played here 5-6 times over the course of the past year and it’s only gotten worse. Where to start? - the fairways are wrecked. Patches of dirt plus a heap of chemical burns on certain holes - greens are atrocious. Every color green imaginable due to the lack of proper care. - $70 for a round with cart when it should be closer to $45 and that’s generous. All in all, it feels like a muni that time forgot. Either sell the place to someone who will take care of it or let the earth reclaim it. Anything is better than what it is currently."
