Sagamore Spring Golf Club

Fantastic golf course in a superb location. Sagamore Spring can get busy, especially on weekends, but the rangers make an effort to move groups along. The prices are fair and conditions are excellent. As a bonus the staff is very friendly.

After telling me over the phone they had available tee times, I then called back to book a time. That time was indicative of a four-​some; Not a two-​some.
I then booked a two-​some for nine holes and was told «you have to play 18 holes.» The short story is, we played 9 holes; The course was a dog track (at best).
Never again would I waste my time driving to Lynnfield to play Sagamore when you could play The Meadows in Peabody.

Great short course typically in average to above average condition. The only real problem I have is with the starter. Always gruff, doesn’t seem to care about providing any type of service other than to tell you when it’s time to tee off. No attempt to exchange pleasantries or evening acknowledge your presence.

I just recently played this course a couple of times. The layout is what it is. A few quirky holes but overall a nice layout. Both times I played there what struck me was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The price is average for public courses in the area. I would definitely recommend this course.

Played here couple of weeks ago — yes, mid-​Feb! — and the weather was warm and the course was in great shape. For «winter golf» condition, both the greens and fairways were maintained superbly — better than most courses in the area. Only two greens were under repair.
Layout not the most challenging but still very interesting. Water, drivable par 4, etc.
Then why only 3 stars?
Dishonest business practice. We did not appreciate the bait and switch tactic they used for green fees. Advertised $ 22pp for winter golf on website and confirmed the rate during phone booking then charged $ 30 when we got there and pretended the lower rate never existed. Price gouging! We paid up cos the weather was nice and a friend drove over an hour to get there.
Poor service at clubhouse. The clubhouse was old and the staff was not friendly. Constantly yapping away on the walky-​talky while customers waited in line. When you don’t value your customers’ business then they’ll just go somewhere else.

Well, now I know why no one was at Reedy Meadows in Lynnfield last week. It’s because they were golfing HERE! This is now my favorite local public course.
1) It’s very well maintained. Excellent tees and fairways and rough and greens. The greens were recently airrated when I was there, which sucks — BUT — still FAR better than what I’ve come across at other places.
2) The clubhouse has a BAR! And a nice place, at that! Nice guys work there, and I’d love to hang out there and talk shop with them sometime.
3) A good deal: After 3:00, it’s $ 26 and play all you want! I also love the signs at each tee with a little map of the hole you’re about to play. Nice touch.

Word of warning — it’s generally quite crowded and play can be slow. Expect over 2 and a half hours to play 9 holes. The guys I played with said morning play is fine — but in the afternoon it can reallllly slow up.

Still — a beautiful course with little road noise. My main gripe was a friggin ice cream truck kept driving around the area for over 2 hours! Drove me NUTS!!! BUT STILL — a beautiful course. It was challenging and sometimes INSANE (greens hidden behind traps and hills) — but still in great shape and a great area.
I recommend it.

Very nice course. Great condition. Layout leaves a little to be desired. 8,9,17,18 are par threes and kind of tough way to make the turn and finish. Sand needs to be softened up a little. The course is a good driving course if you’re accurate. Greens are fast and challenging. The rates for midweek play are very steep though. $ 57 for 18 holes with a golf cart on a Thursday is steep. I would play here again though.
