First Time Early April

I’m was very impressed with the greens here. They were firm, fast and full. The fairways were a little banged up in spots but that’s to be expected in early April with the course just opening. I golfed a round with another gentleman in 3 hours 45 mins. Not much waiting. Went inside after the round for some food and beers. Wings were phenomenal!

Nice course, good value

The course and staff were great. The foursome in front of us were goofing around constantly and we had to wait on every shot. frustrating

Solo walking

Friendly staff and playing partners! Lots of PAR 5 & 3, with some PAR 4 sprinkled in. Moderate for walking some steep hills but a challenging course. Don’t play pin high on 18, if hole on right rear. Enjoyed day!

Donald Ross

Great Donald Ross course. Never a flat lie on the fairway. Tough approach shots. Fairways are wide with water trouble on half the holes. Greens can be challenging but are medium speed. Views are the best around.

3 Hour 9

Took way too long to play 9 holes. Should never be 3 hours especially not on a Thursday at noon. Left after 9 due to terrible pace. Will not be returning.

Just go somewhere else...

Played this with a friend of mine who lives near Derry, NH and it was awful. Pace of play was the slowest I've ever experienced and I'm not usually a fast player. The course was in overall poor condition compared to other courses in the area. Greens were in good shape, but the fairways were dry as a bone and the ball ran for days. Pace of play was really what killed this course for me. We had a foursome in front of us that was playing like they were the only people on the course and when they left after the front nine, the starter decided to put another foursome right in front of us on the back 9 and they were all walking. We left after 9 even though we paid for 18 because it was just so bad.

Zero common sense!!!

First, the course has suffered tremendously from the hot weather we’ve had the last couple of weeks. You won’t recognize the course of you’ve played here a month or two ago. Second, and more importantly, the guy in charge of handling the pace of play is a joke! We (group of four in carts) waited on every single hole at least 10-15 minutes because the groups in front of us were soooo slow. We knew the group in front of us would leave after the first 9, so we expected the pace to improve. However, they put another group of three WALKING kids in front of us once we reached the club house. We almost lost it… so we decided to part ways with Merrimack for good. On the way out, the gentleman/staff outside asked why we were leaving to which we replied that the course is ridiculously backed up and that they just made it even worse… his response: well, if you decide to want it to call it a day?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? No, YOU called it a day for us! WORST EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD ON A COURSE!!!
