Cyprian Keyes Golf Club

Fun and challenging. My newly minted golfer son loves the 9 hole course, and the food. After he and the hubs played a very ugly round, we wound up at the restaurant. The rib wings were TO DIE FOR… totally unexpected! Not really sure about the drinks, and the wine selection was nothing to write about (so I won’t), but service was friendly and prompt and the appetizers hit the spot.

Played golf here on August 15, 2015. Overpriced at $ 80 to ride. The greens were in bad shape. Too many blind shots. Only saw a ranger once, sitting under a tree. The clubhouse is nice and the food was good. My group will not be coming back for golf.

I shot a 90 on this course last time out, and it felt like a moral victory. This course is demanding. Crooked shots are penalized. You have to think your way around the course, and there are only maybe 5 or 6 holes where you should even consider driver. The tees, fairways and greens are always in great shape, except those two or three times a season that they aerate the greens. The course is pricey, but you can usually find good deals through Groupon, or if you buy their discount package (Keyes Card). Coming off the course, they have a nice pub style restaurant with a good menu, craft beers on tap, and quality wines by the glass. And outdoor dining if you want. What’s not to like?

As of May 30, 2015 the greens at Cyprian have depreciated in condition.
These greens are by far the worse in Central Ma.
They aerate and never top dress! Then this spring they sliced the greens.
I don’t think they water these greens. There are ruts and bald spots.

Very unhappy customer… just threw a baby shower there and although the room was beautiful, it was the behind the scenes stuff that would make me not go back and recommend others look elsewhere.
The banquet coordinator was kind in the beginning but seemed flighty in emails and would only answer half the questions asked and then send an email asking me questions that I already answered… overall disorganized.
Also, as soon as the shower was paid for (10 days prior to the event), she wasn’t so kind. She was short and also slow to reply to messages.
The servers on the day of made us feel rushed and seemed to be put out when asked for something.
If you do go there, don’t do the open bar — they overcharged by hundreds of dollars.
Overall, facility was nice, food was just okay, service was subpar.

I have only played the par 3 course (several times), and it is okay. It is quite spread out and rather hilly. I played with a friend who is just learning. She did all right, but it was a bit frustrating for her. The last 3 holes seemed to get quite buggy — so bring the bug spray.
The food in the restaurant is pretty good. Service can be slow so bring your patience also.

Played Cyprians on an uncrowded Fall day and left impressed. The course was in mint condition. The greens have more pitch than most public courses and were in fine condition. The layout is fun and challenging. Be sure to play from the correct tees for your ability. Everything exceeded my expectations.

Beautiful course… every hole gives you a different challenge. Key is on placement, not distance. But you will need to play a couple of times to truly understand where to hit it.
I would say, if you can break 90, that is a great score… bring lots of balls, because if you are just slightly off some of the fairways, you are dead. Hit long irons or hybrids.
My favorite saying is «You can’t play from the woods, or the water…»
When I played with three friends, everyone of us took turns posting a big number, and yes, I had my first «snowman» (8) in about 20 years.
Advise…go play it, have fun, enjoy the layout… play some skins. but don’t beat yourself up once you total up the scorecard.

Fantastic course, very challenging! I loved the deal they offered for the after 4pm-​dark. $ 36 with a cart to play as many rounds as you want.
The course is target golf and very hilly. Narrow fairways and some great bends. Well maintained and great to look at.
I definitely need to step my golf game up but can’t wait to come back.
Cue the Cinderella Story:

I played the Par 3 Course over the weekend. It was $ 18 for the 9 holes and one of my friend wanted the cart so it was another $ 7 or $ 9 for that. First off I am glad he wanted the cart because normally Par 3 courses are very compact but this one was spread out quite a bit and it was hilly. Plus how else were we going to carry our beers?
Overall the course was in great condition and based on my skill level (1 step above awful) and the other 2 people being newer it provided us with a good challenge with a mixture of terrains, hazards, and elevations.
The food in the club house was surprisingly very reasonably priced. They had a breakfast buffet with omelet station for $ 9.95 a person and a 20 oz. Smithwick’s for $ 5.25. The golf is a little pricey but overall from what I saw of the Championship Course both were well maintained. I wouldn’t mind playing this course again sometime or trying the 18 hole course.

Arrogant staff, called and emailed about lessons this summer. No one answered the phone, returned a call, or replied to emails. They MUST be doing very well and don’t have to respond to potential customers. But I have always liked the course even if it always has it’s way with me. Course management is the key to success.

I attended a wedding here over the weekend, and the rooms were absolutely beautiful. Cocktail hour was in the ‘music room’ and dinner in the main dining room was very pretty. I have not played golf here, but the view is outstanding, and I bet it is even prettier in fall and winter.

A challenging course and a damn good one. Always in good shape. Some great golf holes. Not a good walking course. Take a cart and be ready for a challenge.

Great conditions, great staff, great food, too bad the layout sucks. Why would anyone think you need 18 tricked-​up, narrow holes. Golf is supposed to be a pleasurable experience (at least for a couple holes). After four holes of silliness with 90 degree doglegs, fairways that run out, hitting over hazards with layups, I thought it end. But no it just kept up, miss a green that you can’t see by 10 feet and your penalized 2 strokes. If you’re thinking of quiting golf and need a good reason pay $ 78 for this gem and you can hang em’ up for good.

The golf course is fantastic. A really challenging course with lots of elevation change and some fairly demanding holes, this place really tests your game. It has some gorgeous views from the higher holes, and is really well taken care of.
The amenities away from the course are pretty good, but they don’t have a drink cart on weekend afternoons. The food at the restaurant is good, but the service is slow, don’t plan on eating there before a round wait until you’re done.
The price is fairly high, $ 77 on the weekend with a cart, but if you’re looking for a new, challenging course not that far from Boston, it’s worth checking out.

I wouldn’t call it the worst course I’ve ever played, Ponkapoag or Norwood get that honor. Watch out for a broken 3-​wood in the bush by the 4^th tee. The course can be frustratingly tight, but it’s a great challenge. The terrain makes this a thinking man’s course, not just a bomb and gouge track. The course was well kept when I played in late June.
I would recommend this as a course to try out if you’re looking for a new challenge.
