Wow - as an avid golfer - hats off to Sterling Golf for rescuing Crystal Lake Golf Club. The course…read moreconditions are amazing, greens better than ever, fairways cut tight and the rough is the perfect length. The new memberships are out and are awesome in value. The GM shared with us the plans for next year's course, membership events and more. Golfers from everywhere are coming up to see it.

Think about what makes a golf course great. Clubhouse: Their…read moreclubhouse looks like a trailer. Proshop Personnel: Not too friendly Tee Boxes: Most were OK and some needed work. Fairways: They were in reasonable shape Greens: They were in reasonable shape Cart Paths: They could not have been in worst shape. Carts: Worked well but will not last with current cart paths. Food: Based on the condition of the clubhouse I wouldn't eat there. Obviously whoever owns this course is struggling. Despite my negativity I still enjoyed the course.

HCC is the total package you'd expect at a private country club. The professional staff provides…read moreexcellent lessons, equipment, and pro shop golf equipment and clothing. Dining and beverage service are super attentive. These are some of the truest greens in New England, and the course sightlines are constantly improving.

We stayed here for a friend's wedding and had a lovely experience! The staff was amazing--very…read morefriendly and helpful--and I felt safe and relaxed throughout our stay. The property itself is beautiful and makes for a gorgeous wedding venue. My only small complaint is that the rooms felt a bit old and outdated, but overall, it was a great experience in a wonderful setting.

Bad service, Got it -- here's a Yelp-style review you can post:…read more Bad service, The location is great, but unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say about this place. We waited almost two hours for our food to arrive. During that time, no one checked in, no explanation, and no apology. The service was slow, inattentive, and disorganized. It's really disappointing because the restaurant has so much potential with such a nice setting, but the experience was frustrating from start to finish. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

Came here for a bridal shower - this gorgeous golf club is right off the main road- easy to locate,…read moredecent parking area.. there's a second lot if needed.. upon entering I instantly noticed how beautiful the room was, so clean (restrooms too) the food was delicious- we had a brunch, fruit, salad,eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, veggies and chicken, which were all delicious a followed by coffee and some pastries (cupcakes, cookies) the shower itself was one of the most funnier been to in a while!! Service was impeccable- bartender was very nice and knew how to make a good drink I enjoyed coming here so much that when I got home I looked into becoming a member of the club myself !!

Total fail: A recent meal here was the worst this 80yr old has ever experienced…read more Although tables were set beautifully, the food was not prepared in a timely fashion. When it WAS available, it was cool, and chicken parmesan was undercooked to the extent that I worried that three mouthfuls I did eat would make me sick later on. Although I didn't notice, a member of our group said that there was no warming sterno under the serving trays when he collected his meal. Potatoes were OVERcooked, as was the zucchini, which was also too garlicky. There was only a single serving station while the number of guests probably merited two, which may have been the reason those nearer the end of the line had cold entrees. Please be forewarned about using this venue for a large event.

As a nomad golfer, I can't tell you how the little things add up. Friendly to strangers?…read moreChallenging course in good condition? Polite starter? Adequate spacing of tee times to ensure good pace? Good food and drinks at the 19th? Let's me walk on the weekend? This place got positive marks in all the right places (at least for me). It's a hike from where I live (Waltham) but I'll gladly come back... and next time, I hope to play a little better (says every golfer). Thanks for a nice time FC golf! The only suggestion I have is to put up some sort of fence / net so that fewer range balls end up on the Heron #1 fairway...

Come to Black Swan for a round.. you won't regret it. Greeted by rows of roses and a beautiful club…read morehouse, Black Swan CC is an impressive property with much to offer. Checking in was easy at the pro shop next to the range. The pro shop staff and starter were polite and professional, we were ready early and the starter moved our time up which was nice. The course was in pristine condition for so early in the year and the greens all rolled true. It is a relatively young course born in 1990, designed by the legendary New England golf course architect, Philip Wogan. Hats off to the Black Swan staff and old Phil! Keep up the good work.

Course is pretty good but the pace of play is horrendous. I played the front nine in 3:10 on a…read moreSunday, went into the proshop and asked for a raincheck for nine. Was told no. Their website and scorecard both say max time for 18 is 4:30. Pure fantasy. Rangers are non-existent. Every time that I have played this course this season has been 5+ hours. I hoped that things would get better under new ownership, but if anything, it's worse. This is my local course but I will be going elsewhere. Do better Black Swan. Your reputation is spreading.
